Re Saturday

[crodonilson]

unless there is significant movement in the transfer market between now and Saturday , I'm going to stamp my foot and not do the 220 mile round trip........anyone else ? Shame of it is, they've already got my money !

Shame on you, Sami and the boys deserve our unconditional support. I hope the atmosphere is electric on Saturday.

Crikey puts my 2 mile round trip to shame!

I'm absolutely going. Really looking forwards to it, but might skip my usual pie, simply because I quite enjoy going to Street Diner on a Saturday for lunch. Nothing to do with the quality of the pies at the Amex.

Would love to go but I can't. Have to wait till the next game.

The club must be monitoring this thread. Sheffield Wednesday have been given another 250 tickets after selling out their initial allocation of 2,500.

 

[Brighton Mod]

The faithful will turn out massively for this one, but with Greer, Dunk, Buckley, Lua Lua and CMS it will have a distinctly 2011 feel. I'm really interested to see how we play and hoping for a result, as for the recruiting of another striker, not going to be holding my breath. Just hope we have ambition and play an attacking formation (won't say two up front as this provokes all sorts of emotions on here). If CMS plays and gets the ball in a scoring position he will do the business for us!!

Sadly I think if no additions are forthcoming before Saturday and things aren't going our way, we could witness our first serious signs of dissent amongst home supporters.

Let's hope I'm wrong....

I'm not sure there'll be signs at the match, we need to get behind Hyypia and the team. It's not their fault what's happening.

However, I do feel more frustrated with the club than I have in a long time. I understand FFP and have stood up for the club all summer and said they're waiting to get the right people. It's not even the club's fault in a way as I wouldn't be feeling like this at the moment if we were led to believe we'd be getting the three new players in.

Hopefully over the next couple of days all this will change and we'll get a couple of good new signings but I can't see it at the moment.

Hmmm, I'm doing the 410 mile round trip from South Wales on Saturday and the lack of a superstar signing before then will not deter me from doing that as I still believe the club know what they are doing far better than what my view as a supporter would be. Look at the advancements over the last four or five years,TBH I agree with the policy of incremental improvement year on year, step by step rather than boom or bust. Theres a long way to go as yet before the transfer and loan market closes who knows what irons we have in the fire?

Being selfish, i'm more worried about parking!! i cant use public transport, walk, run, cycle, or ride a horse to the ground no matter what the green brigade say.

I will be taking my three year old to her first ever game. She did ask if she could have a sleep! Suppose that may come true.....

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Looking forward to it, new season full of optimism and all that. Only difference for me, we have made an executive decision that progs (the Amex Seasons alone are hernia material in the office room) and scratch tickets are things of yesteryear.

The club shall have to be creative and innovative with new ways to entice me to spend extra cash 'to enhance the matchday experience'.

Hope I still feel as excited come 5pm.

180 mile round trip for me.

If no notable new signings by Thursday I will not be going.

Extremely frustrated by our inability to adequately recruit and apparent lack of investment.

If that makes me a bad fan then so be it. If the club won't put there hand in there pocket than neither will I

If I hadn't got a Saturday night meal out in Hove with six fellow Wsu's, I might have forgone the seemingly inevitable 1st game anticlimax.... I cannot see any hope with the paper thin squad as it now exists.

As most of us did but it has very little bearing on our situation now, The fact that me, you or anybody went to the Goldstone, Gillingham or Withdean is not going to magic players into our threadbare squad for this season.

In those days you expected it though and even then we had some busy summers bringing lots of signings in.

 

[Surrey_Albion]

What would you define as 'significant movement'? Also, with 3 weeks left of the transfer window we're nowhere near panic button stage.

Passing a kidney stone

 

[Surrey_Albion]

So we went to games expecting the worse and was still proud to be an Albion fan and go every week. Now expectation might be higher but we are atill in a much much better place

 

[the wanderbus]

The thing about a new season is that every fan in the country believes that it's going to be their club's year. However after the slow, boring , uninspiring dross served up last year and the failure to bring in any signings with the wow factor The Albion have managed to wipe out the feel good factor before a ball has been kicked. Are we the only club that have gone backwards in two and soon,quite possibly 3 consecutive transfer windows?
