Albion expect home kick-off (Argus)

[Nottseagull]

Friday night would be utter toilet, and if asked I really hope the club tell whichever tv company it is to do one. If it has to be on the tellybox then 5.30 Saturday would just about be okay, but I really hope it stays at 3pm. Sunday woudn't be much better either. We've waited too many years for this day to have it f***ed about with by tv companies.

Don't you want our proud moment to be shared by the nation?

Couldn't give a toss really. You said it yourself.... OUR proud moment.

Although I do have some sympathy for Albion fans that can't be there for whatever reason.

And this.

I was at that game, oddly enough. Only the second time I've ever been told off by a steward at a football match.

They are very officious at Norwich, I got handed over to the police (briefly) for saying, well shouting, a naughty word at the referee.

We were due to play Plymouth at home - Despite this, the game didn't go ahead on the Monday.

No it didnt which pissed me off because that meant that was the ONLY home game I missed this year. It was played on Tuesday and I was off to Gothenburg, having deliberately avoided Monday thinking we were playing.

Bloody FA Cup run

I know we are a minority, but don't they care about us supporters travelling down from London? Friday would be bloody awful for me.

If it does turn out to be Friday evening I think I'll be taking the day off work precisely so I don't have to do just that. Apart from which, I have every intention of getting to the stadium hours before kick off which I simply wouldn't be able to do if I was working in London on the Friday.

All I did was take a few photos. Mind you I was front row, right behind the goal!!

 

[Nottseagull]

I don't think the casual, TV-watching footballing audience cares too much, tbh.

Then they need educating. A few minutes spent watching a compilation of what we have had to go through should make them aware of the significance of this opener.

It's getting back that would be the problem, rather than getting there. The last train from Brighton to London is at 11.37pm, you'd be hard-pushed to make it.

Why not go via Lewes/HH as about probably no more than 35% of the train travellers would be going that way?

I would imagine a telling of our story might be of mild interest to some fans, but as for the on-pitch stuff - limited interest, I'd say. Most people are just going to be watching a green pitch and 22 blokes, and a wanker in the black.

Other than that - it's OUR opener.

I personally do not think it matters when we play. Its going to be the greatest day in Albions history. I for one am getting emotional about walking up to the stadium and soaking in the atmosphere. 0h dear Im welling up just thinking about it given ,we were in the late ninetys.

Dates been in the diary for ages. Change it now and risk empty seats. Keep Saturday 6th, 3pm preferably so we can all enjoy a couple beers beforehand and make a day of it. Friday too rushed. Sunday too dull. Saturday it is then!

 

[Sussex Nomad]

I seriously hope it is 3pm Saturday.

 

[KNC]

i would hope that whoever we get on 6th august, the club tell the tv companies to do one - just this once.

This is our day - not everyone else's.

100% this

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I find this depressingly believeable. If it has to be thus then 5.30 on the beeb with a bigger audience please.

Why would a club STEWARD know anything about it when the fixtures haven't been announced yet?

 

[SirElliotBennett]

I thought the fixtures were out on Thurs?

No, this Friday.
Carling Cup is on the Thursday

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Cup game could well be our second official home match then.
Imagine Forest at home on 6th August ( wont be a local derby for our first full capacity home match- health and safety etc!) followed by Crawley Towm on Tuesday 9th. Guessing we are seeded and they not!
