How many fans that have decided to miss the Chelsea game are now having second thoughts?

I will be there & will also be there for the FDM game.

The reason I mention this is not because it's Chelsea but because this seems to have been the longest post/pre season in history.

The last competitive game we played was on 28th April & let's be honest that was a dead rubber.

Whether it is Chelsea or barnet I just want my life back.

I understand that we have bent over backwards to accommodate Chelsea & their demands to secure this fixture but we should also take credit for us being seen as
a worthy last warm up game before the charity shield.

I thought I would get hammered after posting this so thank you for going easy on me.

I totally understand those that say they will be bored after 10 mins.

I'm not an Albion fan because the football is great I'm a fan because I love football.The fact that we now have a good team with a fantastic stadium is a bonus.

After 4 months of rowing with the wife every weekend the season cannot start soon enough

No second thoughts here at all, couldnt afford it and its better to go for the Reading game for a good cause rather than pay to see a team which won a big shiny trophy, who were being expected to rollover to (giving them 4k seats, giving them a guard of honour etc).

The fact that it's chelsea is irrelevant from my point of view.
I just want to see us at the amex again

Kind of, but I'd be bored after ten minutes. Non competitive football is dull.

This for me. Even of it was 5-4 it's still not competitive. Which to me is what I enjoy most.

Can't wait to see the expanded stadium though, that's the only reason that I'd have gone for but want to save it for our first league game when the Amex is full. Can't wait for that!

I do find it mildly amusing that 'fans of Brighton' tell us that Chelsea is a nothing friendly, despite them being European Champions and us being the first to play them on English soil since, yet would cream themselves over Real Madrid, Barca, Inter, et al. You don't get a bigger friendly than the European Champions. Terribly sad people.

I will be there today & I will be there on Tuesday for FDM testimonial.

European champs or not I think this game has been arranged more for the benefit of Chelsea than Brighton.To me it seems like Chelsea want to celebrate the champions league win with their fans down by the sea side.

This was most definitely a favour to Poyet, they could have played whoever they wanted to play today but they chose us due to Poyet.
