First League game at the Amex, Sunday August 7th?

[clippedgull]

So, have Gus or the Argus inadvertently let slip that the first League game at the Amex will take place on Sunday August 7th? Or was it just an innocent misunderstanding of dates by Gus or a typo by Andy Naylor?

From the Argus ( May3 )

..... Poyet has reiterated his desire to make six or seven new signings in the summer. He refuses to predict how Albion will fare in the Championship until his squad is in place.

He said: "I'll tell you my target on August 6, the day before we start, and then August 31, because a lot will depend on the players we bring in.

50 50 I would say!

No no nooooooo, I dont want to have to wait an extra day.......surely 14 years is enough time to wait!

 

[Scoffers]

Well the current season hasn't even finished yet so I very much doubt anything concrete would have been agreed for next season yet

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I hope so. I can hot foot it back from a wedding in Bath.

Sunday would be f***ing shit.

Sunday would be f***ing shit.

Yeah, I'm sure you'll be sitting there in your seat for the first time, in a packed out Falmer thinking 'this is f***ing shit'.

I don't care when the first match is. Just get me into that stadium!

Yeah, our first proper home game for 14 years in a magnificent stadium will be shit because it's on a Sunday....

 

[Pantani]

What is more likely?

Gus has been told when the fixtures for next season are?

OR

Gus got the start of the season wrong by one day in an interview?

I think we all know the answer, sadly it means Gus is not omnipotent.

all I want is a game against someone who struggled a bit in lower table. After ending the Withdean era with a defeat I would hate us to start at the Amex in similar manner and I have a very painful memory of our first home game in the old Division 1 when we were annhialated against Arsenal.

When doesn't matter - just give us a game we can win!

The JCLs probably think all games are played on Sunday anyway.

...it means Gus is not omnipotent.

Not for one minute did I believe he was. I reckon he could father one thousand children a day and still have enough energy to mastermind an assault on the Championship.

I dont really care what time or when the game is. The important thing is we have a home and its OURS

Where exactly in there does it state that our first game will be at the Amex?

Aren't they then?

PS What colours do we play in?

Brighton FC play in blue (I think)

Keep in touch BoF as I'll be driving from Bristol and could pick you on the way through.
(Nothing like proper advanced planning)

We already know that it will due to pride being moved to the next weekend....

Wrong! Actually the "Seabirds" play in white with blue stripes as any fule kno.

I didn't know that.
Thanks.
Must keep up .....
