Friendlies, Stalking 101

So it's friendly season and I know many of us are lucky enough to attend one in the next month or so. I've been to regular season matches where it's *srs business* for the players and whatnot so I never really did the autograph/photo hound thing, but I imagine that with friendlies there's a bit more effort by the players to interact the with fans right before the game? Maybe? Yes/no?

For those of you with experience in these matters, what maximizes your chances of getting an autograph/picture? When should you get there, where should you stand, what are your secrets you can share with ontd_fb?
