Will YOU go to any pre season fixtures at the Amex?

[Jam The Man]

Factor in the opportunity for a look at the new faces we bring in over the summer and I reckon everyone who is currently dithering will be there for the Spurs game.

Yeah Spurs should have signed Scott Parker by then!

 

[Daffy Duck]

I'm gonna wait for the opening league match. If I'm gonna be in floods of tears then I'm not wasting them on a friendly against Spurs.

Me too.

 

[southwickseagull]

All of them. I need to find my seat!

Having heard Martin Perry and Ken Brown on the podcast, I'll be going to the friendly. They stressed that day would be regarded as the official opening of the stadium - which suggests it may be when they'll have more of a build-up, like the old players coming back etc. Seems to me that would be a good idea - get most of the celebrations out of the way that day and then the first league match is down to business.

I keep changing my mind! Initially I thought I'd save it all for the first 'proper' match, but as there's a real chance I won't be able to get a ticket I'm now at the stage where I think I'll go to the SCC. Ask me again tomorrow and I'll probably have changed my mind again.

SSC Final as above oh I have been invited to some sort of luncheon, don't know if this preceeds a match!

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

What's all this 'spurs' nonsense??

 

[Set of Tracksuits]

Nope, gonna cost me enough getting down there every other week from Leicester for competitive fixtures and I'd rather my first experience of the new stadium was a (first team) match that meant something. If I lived in Sussex I'd be very tempted though.

 

[Return of the Rev]

got it in my head to miss the first league game at falmer and have a proper atmo at the next game,i don't enjoy all the clapping and back slapping thats gonna go on,last game at withdean done my ead in tbo

 

[albiongirl]

I love to go to the first league match but there is a strong possibility I wont get a ticket which I don't wont to think about it as I will be gutted so I might go depending when it is.

 

[MattBackHome]

I will be abstaining in order to heighten the anticipation and deepen the pleasure of my vinegar strokes first day of the season.

Seemingly in the driving seat for 30th July... and very nice too IMHO

Not going to either of the ramp up games, want that first game impact and not have it diminished in any way by the somewhat pedestrian, holiday atmosphere and pedestrian football usually served up at these events.

A little annoyed if the main friendly is gonna be the game that they bring the old players back and put on the razamatazz, that should be from 2ish on the first proper league game in my humble opinion, especially as loads of us have booked holidays to finish in time for august 6th and wont be there. Also think that although the main freindly will definitely have a good atmosphere, it wont be the tear jerker that 6th august promises to be for me anyway, irrespective of what Martin Perry says.

they are either ramp up events or theyre not!

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I'm still NOT entirely sure about the SSC Final. But I'll go to the big friendly. Half stadium or not, I can't bloody wait!!!

marvelous stuff

 

[Mellotron]

As mentioned above, the prestige friendly IS the official opening of the stadium, so wouldn't miss it for the world. Plus, as if 17500 won't make any noise?

I'm having to miss the first league game due to a wedding (if it's on the 6th). So the above is me justifying it's importance to myself.

 

[Superphil]

May go to one of the limited capacity friendlys because priority will be for existing ST holders so will be my last chance to enjoy an Albion game without a load of JCL's CHUNTERING on about their premier league side they watch on tv
