Ramp-up events at Falmer - First game CONFIRMED

[Return of the Rev]

ramp up mean that 10k 14k 17k,ish sussex senior cup could be back on

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Should imagine the Sussex FA have already tied up the final venue with Eastbourne Borough.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Have heard through a steward that last ramp up event is 17k on 30th July against a well known team who the club are 90% sure at the moment of having as opponents for this game

Man City offered their services, it was in the prorgamme of our League Cup game, but that offer might have been rescinded once we embarrassed them off the pitch.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

What about a testimonial of FDM, Badge?

That would test my resolve...

 

[7:18]

Agree, even if offered a ticket for free I'd refuse.

same here, my first game will be August 6th...day before my birthday!

That makes sense. What I heard about the concert was "in August", which didn't make sense. But a big gig of local bands in early summer would be great.

Richard Morris has tweeted that the Sussex Senior Cup final will be the first game at the Amex. 10,000 capacity

 

[Marshy]

Im definately saving myself for the 1st league game, even if Barca send a full strength squad for a pre season game !

 

[Guy Fawkes]

I might be being stupid here, but I would prefer that there were no concerts at the Amex in case they wreck the pitch or worse, some drugged up crusty f*cks my seat up!

I have heard from someone (a fan) that we will not be holding any concerts in the first year to protect the pitch, that said that they were told this by someone from the club (can't remember if it was said to them at their presentation)

Don't know how true this is though

Hmmmm I'm dubious about that, will ask someone I know on the SCFA council.

I think most people will be very surprised and impressed with the calibre of our ramp up events/pre season friendlies.

 

[Rookie]

I want the New York Cosmos Pele et al

 

[Captain Haddock]

As I understand it, there are either 2 or 3 ramp-up events.

One on 16th July (14,000?), then the main (and last) one a fortnight later on 30th July (17,000) against prestige opposition (TB previously stated he wants Arsenal / ManUre / Chelski, with Mancashter Sheikhy less likely now).

Whether we might now 'go international' with the Brighton of Spain (Barca) or Ajax (Dutch flavour as will certainly be Michel's testimonial match also) remains to be seen, but TB is definately looking at that calibre of opposition

Much as I would like to 'save myself' for that special lady in the blue hat until our special day, I will almost certainly be unable to resist her charms with a hot summer session in July!

 

[Lord Bamber]

I have deliberately filled my diary now for weekends prior to the 6th Aug so I wont succumb to attending any events prior to THE MAIN EVENT!

I have waited long enough for this.

My first event will be the big K.O.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

I'll be in Amsterdam on the 30th for Sussex v Holland, so my first one will be August 6th

 

[Stevie Boy]

have thought about the ramp up events, but i will resist and wait until 6th Aug, i dont want to be in a half filled stadium, would prefer a sell out with a cracking atmosphere, bring it on

Don't know how true this is though

I can assure you that this in not the case.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I might, or maybe i won't but i will probably ........

It's a bloody lovely predicament
