First opponents at Falmer.

[john baldock]

probably, but who knows football is a funny old game had some great days at your place and the goldstone.

 

[little al]

The Gallstone was a special place for such a dump. I have had some great times there.

 

[Perry Milkins]

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

Are you 'bigging up' Palace's non-existent element?

 

[Storer68]

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

and at the Priestfield

not many palace turned up for that one (easy to get to) and not many BHA either (hard to get to) (so much for the rivalry!)

You are joking right? We played Gillingham there the week before as well, we were well supported in both games.

 

[little al]

IIRC it was your first ever game there as hosts so you lack of show can be forgiven.

 

[Insel affe]

i think it should be southampton as we played there first fixture at there new ground

 

[Easy 10]

Why this obsession with playing Doncaster Rovers for the first game ? They didn't invite us to their new stadium. They played a Man Utd XI.

 

[The Grockle]

What about Fulham? We had our highest ever attendance against them at the Goldstone.

 

[Icy Gull]

Surely there is only one option. At least fill the ground once! The only choice is Palace!!!

Excellent let's let the nimby's worst football hooligan nightmares happen...on the 1st game at Falmer

Did we? I remember playing the last game at the Dell but can't remember playing the first game at the new ground! :/

 

[Napper]

A decent foreign side would be good

 

[Tooting Gull]

The first game at Falmer is a very important part of a much bigger picture of regenerating interest in the Albion, and attracting a far bigger audience than the 6,000 who have been going in the past few years to come along on a REGULAR basis.

For that reason I think Donny, whatever the intentions, would be bonkers. You want a big game/name. If it can't be Palace, and I understand why, one of the Prem teams, Man City would be fine, otherwise one of the London teams or Portsmouth.

Off the back of this game we want people to come back and buy into the Albion rebirth - which is exactly how Falmer needs to be marketed.

yep sorry you are correct.

has to be a south coast team though without the potential for trouble so scummers are ideal

The hallowed Goldstone Ground was a special place for such a dump. I have had some great times there.

It's not as though you ever saw your lot win a league game there.

That is true

Such a naughty pickle Mr M

 

[Tooting Gull]

Shame none of them were on Boxing Day

 

[The Large One]

That is true

1963 your last league win at The Goldstone.
