Well, indeed every "new ground" needs to be seen before the game. I also walk with my partners before we go to the lockerroom at (semi)finals.
And now in the cold spring (we've got about 10C in the Neth.'s) during practice-games, I walk the field while warming-up...
(and don't care if my partner is walking with me; it's my warming-up and if (s)he doesn't need it so be it...)

At the weekend games I'm normally about an hour before the game starts present. Only traffic can make me late...
When / if I'm working an evening game (mon - fri) I'm also trying to be present at least 45 min. before the game starts. If I know that it will be difficult, I'll try to leave my work earlier...
(and still be there on time!) Once I've got the wrong time in my head, it was a big misstake and I was very ashamed
(as I should be!!!)!!!
