I will too.

On the day of the Doncaster game, I took my son who was in a push chair at the time to the Goldstone. I didn't take him in, but I wanted him to see it, although unfortunately he has no memories of the day.

I took him on a regular basis to the arse end of Kent, and he has endured wind, rain and everything else that the elements can throw at us whilst we have been at the crap hole that is Withdean.

Next year, 14 years after we left The Goldsone we will move into our new home, and he can finally see The Albion in a real football stadium, one we can call home. Yes, I will probably cry like a baby.

Without a doubt, for the people who never got to see it.

For christs sake MAN UP you lot.
Whats the opposition going to think when the teams take to the pitch to a deafening cacaphony of 15,000 middle-aged men blubbing uncontrollably into their Pukka Pies ?







(although I will probably be a contorted mess of snot and tears as well)

Funny thing is, I heard Sussex by the Sea earlier today, and a similar thought occurred to me- how it could be quite emotional hearing that as the team run out at Falmer for the first time.

On a related subject, I am pleased to note that MK are one of the clubs that sell chicken balti pies at their stadium outlets. That is my pre-match snack-ette sorted for tomorrow then. MMMMMMMM. Pies :drool:

I, on the other hand, mistakenly informed my wife that there was an 'Ikea' nearby which means we will be having meatballs, chips and Daim Bars [sic] beforehand.

Pork pie land.
Looking at the pictures on the Net make me well up.

When I first saw the site in the flesh it was a very sobering sight.

I have a feeling that the first match there will be very emotional for most of us.
