Timmy, have you been at the Waccy Baccy again ?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Wow! Over 1000 don't turn up? Are they stuck in traffic congestion on the A27? All gone to weddings, or Pride on the wrong weekend? Forgot it was moved to Friday night?

Before they avoided relegation, I dreamt that it would be Blackburn at home, for the first match 
You always get around 5% who don't turn up. Unfortunately, I don't think this will be any different. There will still be people on holiday. It means a lot to most of us, but for those who couldn't be arsed to go to Withdean, will not be as arsed as the rest of us about missing the first match at Falmer.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Really ? I agree for any normal first game of the season, but I can't see anything other than a full stadium for our first game at a stadium we have waited so long for. Those at weddings, holidays etc would given their tickets to friends. Only thing to let the attendence down is away fans not selling their allocation

We already know we will almost certainly be at home because the following Saturday clashes with Pride. Palace will be midweek. Also can't see the authorities being in favour of any team likely to cause trouble as it will be their first experience of policing the stadium. So that would rule out West Ham, Leeds, Millwall, Cardiff, Birmingham and possibly Swansea. Southampton and Reading more likely to be Boxing Day/New Year/Easter. So I think it will almost certainly be a team from the midlands or the north - so Coventry, Derby, Forest, Hull, Leicester, Barnsley. Or what about Ipswich or Watford...?
Don't ask me why tho, but my inkling is for.... BLACKPOOL.
Would be a cracking game too. Bring on the Tangerines!

I think we can ask for a home game thats certain. I think asking the league to rule out 5 or 6 clubs is pushing it a bit.

Unbelievably i'm in Ireland for a wedding on the first weekend of the season, therefore i think i'm one of very few people who hope the League dont start us at home. (Never going to happen).
My Mum is taking my ticket, if we can persuade my Dad to agree to this. Last time she went was mid 80's Goldstone and we got stuffed.

Barnsley would be a great opportunity to get off to a winning start. (Cue Davies hattrick and another Greer red card).
