The fact its Chelsea doesn't make me overly excited its more getting back to the AMEX to watch Brighton..
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.
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.
Yeah wasn't planning on going but ended up caving in in the end. Just miss watching Brighton too much
No second thoughts from me. Regardless of the opponent preseason games are just dull to watch. I'll be going on tuesday, but that is to support Michel, I'm pretty sure that game will be dull too.
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.
A game like today will be nice to sit back and relax and probably watch some decent passing football from both sides without being overly bothered about the result and to check out how The Amex is coming along. I know its effectively nothing more than a training game for both, but always good to test ourselves against higher level opposition. Im sure it will benefit our players.
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'm looking forward to it, its also a chance to practice my travelling, moved from Woodingdean which was a 5 minute shuttle bus ride away to Burgess Hill,
I've heard about train queues and always thought about the poor souls when I've been home in 20 minutes after an evening game, to now joining the queue myself:
After 4 months of rowing with the wife every weekend the season cannot start soon enough

Still, at least you should both have fantastic abdominals
