1. My first visit since the horrendous 3-0 defeat in 2018 under Mark Hughes. Swore I would never go back there again. Yesterday was slightly different….
2. I do like the Howling Hops pub there near Hackney Wick station; went there before and after the game. Heaving, but plenty of bar staff, so all good. Weird thing going on with the sinks in the loos though, with a gap which leads through to the sinks in the ladies’ loos…..
3. Ridiculous number of security checks and ticket checks at the ground, including ticket checks at half-time. They are clearly on to people taking screenshot pics of digital tickets though.
4. Never seen a ground empty so quickly while the game was still going on.
5. Yesterday was a moment. The rest of the League should really fear us now.

1. My 4th visit there and have two wins and two defeats. Saints have won there 3 times in all so not too bad a record
2. Big fan of that Howling Hops, and there are several similar bars in the area. The queues for the 'Hot Girl Boxing' at the bar opposite as we left suggest there was all sorts of entertainment in the area if that is your thing
3. I don't think I have been in the Upper Tier before and was only there yesterday after losing my rag when buying the tickets using the awful Saints website on my phone. Now think it is actually the better view
4. The stadium emptied far quicker when we won 3-0 there on our first visit
5. The '15 minutes to kick off' recording from Ray Winstone was made to sound like Ronnie and Reggie were coming to collect their protection money |  | | |

Ah, that was what the queue was for opposite Howling Hops.....
(he says genuinely not realising what it was....) | |

From your previous post it seems there was scope for dubious behaviour involving gaps in sinks and the Ladies loos.
"I have no idea how my phone (in video mode) was spotted in said gaps your honour". |  | | |

1. I've been to the London Stadium 3 times now and this is the first win, but we'll worth waiting for. We were in the WH section next to Saints in the lower section, needless to say there was a lot of howling and swearing around me.
2. Enjoyed the Howling Hops too, chatted to few Saints fans in there. Didn't spot the entertainment opposite.
3. You can do a complete circular walk around the inner concourse so I guess that's why they check the tickets again before you sit down.
4. They were leaving in droves with 10 minutes to go.
5. Watched some WH YouTube blogs about the game later on..Best laugh I've had for years. | |

1. Yes the place is a nightmare and the stewards are clueless, I had my ticket on someone elses phone and couldnt get on to the seating area to with him in the crowd, you would think I was trying to break into Fort Knox the lengths they went to stop me walking on to the lower seating area without a ticket. They were threatening to throw me out for not having a ticket till he turned up.
2. I was going to go to howling Hops, but we started in a pub the other side of Hackney Wick station and it was so good that we stayed there drinking a selection of bottled German beers.
3. As I said in number 1 it was ridiculous
4. You are right there the ground was about 3/4 empty by the 75th minute and half empty by the 85th . they seemed to have little faith in their team.
5. They should fear us, but watching the highlights we got away with a lot, Peretz made some great saves, but also flapped a lot at crosses in the 6 yard box and missed some as well. |  |
