1st PL game. It's going to be Arsenal at home, isn't it .

[Live by the sea]

Just think it is written in the stars, that's all

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Newcastle away

 

[Gwylan]

I think Arsenal at home too ... just like it was written in the stars that we'd have Donny for our first game at the Amex

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

I think Arsenal at home too ... just like it was written in the stars that we'd have Donny for our first game at the Amex

If by written in the stars you mean we made a deal with the Football League?

I think Arsenal at home too ... just like it was written in the stars that we'd have Donny for our first game at the Amex

Why would we ask to have the same fixture that we lost 4-0 in the first time we went to the top league

 

[daveinprague]

Lets hope it doesnt go the same way as the previous encounter

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Sorry, why is Arsenal like Donny unless you mean because that's who we got last time around.
Man City, United, Chelsea or even Spurs would be a huge game.
How about our opening match at Wembley?

 

[John Byrnes Mullet]

Just think it is written in the stars, that's all ��

I think so too but there won't be a line of Doc Marten boots behind the North Stand for this one. Anyone else see that old photo?

 

[AmexRuislip]

Got this feeling it's going to be Chelsea

 

[Is it PotG?]

Let's 'ave it

Seems as if the opening fixture of our Premier League campaign is not a guaranteed home fixture for a newly-promoted club as some have suggested:

Albion are hoping for a home start to life in the Premier League.

And boss Chris Hughton wants to avoid tackling a lot of the big guns early on.

Anticipation is mounting as the fixtures are unveiled at 9am tomorrow.

The Seagulls have made a special request for their opening game on August 12, 13 or 14 to be at the Amex in recognition of their first appearance in the Premier League and the launch of their first campaign in the top flight since 1983.

Hughton told The Argus: “It’s a big day for any club, but it will be a bigger day for us, a realisation of Premier League football.


“You would like a home fixture (first), but you probably want a fixture list that comes out as a decent spread.

“It can go either way. You can end up having a really difficult start, but as long as there’s an even spread I think we’ll be happy.

“The last thing you want is, on paper, a really difficult start.

“Results breed confidence. For us in the Premier League a decent start will be different to a decent start in the Championship.
“We have to make sure that we are all realistic about the levels we are up against and determining what are good results and what are not good results.”

Albion have asked for an away game on September 30 to avoid a clash with the Stanmer Park Music Festival nearby to the Amex.

I'd be happy with one of the following at home: Swansea, Stoke, Watford or Bournemouth.

All four tend to struggle first day of the season.
