Who should turn the first sod at Falmer?

[countrygull]

Who should perform this great honour? I'm sure Dick Knight has designs on it - but is anyone more deserving?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Paul Samrah

No brainer

Seconded. DK will get all the plaudits at the first game.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Madam de Vecchi?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Bill Archer (at gunpoint)

 

[Brian Fantana]

We should use Archer as the spade.

 

[Tooting Gull]

Alan Titchmarsh

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Archbishop Desmond TuTu

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Couldn't care less.

Another PR stunt from the club to take attention away from the shit on the pitch and remind us all of how lucky we are to even have a club. Don't worry about the state of the team - Falmer is on the way etc etc.

Just get it built and have the fun and plaudits then.

Time Team as the Archeological results comeback with news of a Bronze Age settlement and thus work is delayed 3 months.

Archbishop Desmond TuTu

Seconded, I cannot think of anybody more deserving.

I would also like to see him design a commerative kit to celebrate our first game at Falmer.

I can't think of anyone else who deserves it more but there are, of course, those who know far more about how to run a business and a football club than him, and will hate it if he does.

So to appease the minority it might be better if someone like Peter Ward did it. Or a personal choice would be Ron Pavey. (Is he still with us?)

I see from another post that Paul Samrah has been suggested - he deserves it too, but I wouldn't say more than DK.

They might also have a ballot amongst the fans but then there would be dozens of posts on here about how the ballot is biased or which category of fan deserves it more.

And if it rains on the day that'll be DK's fault too.

I'd rather they just got on with it 'behind closed doors' and just told us when it's done. That would stop us having to plough through acres of childish protest posts on here.

You miserable sod. After so many years this is a fantastic moment and one that a lot of people said would never happen. Why not be happy about it (or even not comment) for once rather than just moaning all the time?

In answer to the question, Paul Samrah sounds a good choice.

F**k me - you're a cheery soul

I think it should be NSC's favourite American pole vaulter ....

Is it the Falmer equivalent of turning on the Christmas lights? If so, then it could be any D-list minor showbiz celebrity.

But more seriously, if we're going for the heavy symbolism of the struggle stuff, it's going to be very hard to pick one person. You pick Knight, it's easy to say Perry's done all the work. You pick Samrah, he's done wonders but so have other fans like Lord B.

Maybe a way to avoid all that sort of stuff is to let one of the Eaton family do it. That project was one of the best things we or any club has done in recent years, I don't think you'd get many arguments.

That would be nice. Sort of symbolic of all the fans who will never get to see Falmer.

Gets my vote.

If any one other than Dick Knight it will be wrong.

Of course it might be a mass dig!
