LONGTIME DIEHARD
Why are Albion fans hoping it will be THFC in the big opening game ?. This is the club that caused the worst crowd scenes ever at the Goldstone and were involved in the infamous Saints match.

Spurs, why

Agreed. Would hate to see a 'big' London club here for our opening game.
I remember huge crowd problems with Spurs, West Ham & Chelsea.
No thanks.

Utter let down if true, not even the biggest club in north London.
Still, should please all their supporters on here.

This. Although I'm not sure who I would want to play though.

Spurs ? Would hope we could do better than London's third team.

I'd rather play Doncaster or Palace - someone with a bit of MEANING. Won't happen though because a) they're not glamourous enough and b) they're both in our division next season.
Failing that, at least a fancy foreign side would be mildly exciting. Spurs is just MEH.
All of this. I hope Donny is the first LEAGUE game at the Amex, and if the club can influence the opening fixture, I hope this is exactly what they do.
A fancy foreign side like PORTO would do me.

Well documented on here that I don't like Spurs, going back to the 'Klinsmann' pre-season friendly at the Goldstone when their arrogant, thug-like fans were walking around outside the North Stand with their THFC flags threatening Albion fans. If the white scum do come down I wouldn't have thought the side would include too many big names in any case. Not that Spurs have anyone you'd watch if they were playing in your back garden in any case.

Are Brighton fans really hoping for this, or are there 2 or 3 on here hoping for this. Some even say it is a done deal, well good for them, if they know something that the club has not seen fit to share with the rest of us. I shall remain patient until something official is announced, if it's a Premier team then that will be good, if it's Spurs I shall get no more excited than if it was Wigan.

Stop bloody moaning!
Agree. They'd probably just play a load of 2nd string players anyway.
Very disappointed if it is them.

Maybe it is a bit more in depth than "just a friendly" might be to do with a link up of the clubs, i.e Tottenham being a feeder club for us? I dunno just saying...

The prospect of seeing greats like Jamie O'Hara and Alan Hutton doesn't fill me with enthusiasm.

Paris Saint- Germain and Boca Juniors are playing the Emirates Cup July, 2011, it would good to get one of them for the first game.

Aren't we getting a bit ahead of ourselves here? As excited as we all are, we're a League One side going into the second tier of English football, in a frankly superb but still £22K-ish stadium.
I'd be thrilled with Spurs.

You just want to rub some linament into Gareth Bale's groin though.

Spot on! And we only played them a few years ago in the FA Cup. We need a bigger club than them.
