FOOTBALL: Worthing's Albion friendly is back on - Worthing Today


WORTHING'S annual pre-season friendly with Brighton & Hove Albion is back on, and will take place on July 15 (7.45pm).
Rebels had feared that the game would not take place, but the game has got the go-ahead to the delight of Worthing president Morty Hollis, who said: "We are delighted to have Brighton come back again to continue our relationship with them.

"It's the 12th year of the fixture and we hope all the fans in the area will turn up."

Mr Slade continues to please all fans!

[sam86]

Yes. Well done Mr Slade.

 

[B.W.]

Chance to see the new boys relatively locally... yes please...

Might combine this with a day at Arundel for the cricket - hop off at Worthing on the train back.

 

[Superphil]

That's a nice touch, makes sense too, looking forward to it already

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Best way to stop kids from supporting other clubs is to get the team out there to other Sussex towns.

As we play Havent the night before I guess this won't be a first team game.

 

[Superphil]

What's the point? It'll be of no use whatsoever. Russell might as well bring the lads for a kickabout in my back garden for all the good it'll do them.

Might give Michel a rare oppertunity for a game in front of fans in 09/10

I'm in London that day

Probably a case of playing two different squads. We've done it before in pre-season.
Glad to have the Worthing fixture back on. It's a pre-season MUST.

Good PR for the club and helps out another with a little bit of cash.

We're supposed to be a community club after all.

There is room for sentiment in football. Well done to the Club.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Its not against 'BHA'. Its against 'a BHA XI'.

Sensible compromise.

Makes you wonder why Arsenal bother playing Barnet pre-season doesn't it ?

To be fair, they (pre season matches) are all "a Brighton XI" aren't they. There will be a combination of 1st teamers, reserve, youth and possibly even the well know journeyman player "A Trialist" playing.

Quite right. An Arsenal season ticket holder I know already has his ticket for this game. A chance to stand and watch his team. A money-earner for their nieghbours.

I am encouraged...it assumes that the squad will be big enough to be able to play 2 games in 2 days and that's in only 2 weeks time :yahoo:
