First opponents at Falmer.

[little al]

The Police would never allow Palace to be the first game at Falmer. Unfortunately just won't happen, which is a shame

Which is the same reason we don't get the pre-season games

Which is the same reason we don't get the pre-season games

That is right mate

 

[sod1]

Barcelona or Real Madrid maybe

 

[Jim in the West]

Much as I'd love it, a Palace game would be a disaster for all the obvious reasons. My choice would be Doncaster. Let's face it, whoever we play in the first game will be a full house, so we may as well do the right thing and play Donny.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

And whatever you think of Palace, games with them are always going to be cracking.

I can remember a shit friendly with them at the Goldstone.

 

[dougdeep]

My heart says Donny, but a big club would say more as to our ambitions.

 

[The Large One]

I would like it to be Donny, but it does sound like to could be Man City.

Palace would be an anti-climax, and vulgar for all the wrong reasons. Plus we don't want the place to smell of poo as soon as we'd opened the place. It will take years to get rid of the stench.

 

[Wardy]

Why not have Donny for the 1st game of the test games. The ones where we are not allowed a sell out but need to test out Health and Safety etc?

It could however be a useful exercise for the Police to test crowd control methods without the use of batons

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

The first game at Falmer will involve a Premier League club from the capital so that we can sing at their fans "You only live round the corner"

 

[ady1973]

To keep up with tradition surely... Southampton .....first and last at the dell, 1st at st.mary's......nice little local match to get the crowds in

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i want to play the 1995-1996 newcastle united team

 

[Barry Izbak]

Yeh, Mark Hughes did say they would send a full strength team down when our stadiums opened.

And perhaps we'll put out a full strength team next time too

 

[Phat Baz]

BRIGHTON V ENGLAND what a crowd pulling money spinner great day out for the family and kids etc etc

 

[Notters]

Donny will blatantly be a ramp-up game with a 10,000 capacity then premier league holders man city as the first full capacity game.

 

[Drumstick]

The ramp up games, Id be happy with.


Brighton Vs Donny First game. 8,000ish
Brighton Vs Saints Second 15,000
Brighton Vs Man C Last 23,400 sell out and a few on the hill?

 

[little al]

Can't believe anyone would suggest Palace. That's clearly THE worst option. I know it's only an "if" but IF we lose to them in the first game there we'd NEVER live it down.

Yes but if and only if you beat us you could dine out on the story for years and years

 

[john baldock]

great idea mate but you know as well as us i aint going to happen any time soon to much history,we will have to wait for the leauge match !!

 

[little al]

We wsill be waiting a long time unfortunately

As an aside, the last time we played you at Selhurst, my youngest brother was bitten by a police dog
