Should put a few on the gate numbers, and get a lot more pounds in the REMF kitty.

REMF match at the Amex this year
- Thread starter Superphil

We've debated this before. The annual REMF game is a friendly football match between two groups of fans. I've always understood it to be the case that the Palace boys are much more comfortable with the game NOT being played at the home of BHAFC (and I speak as the organiser of the games that were played at Withdean). Has anyone sounded out the Palace lads?
The atmosphere at a small, neutral venue like the Dripping Pan has been excellent. The crowd fits nicely into the venue. Playing the game at a stadium with 29,000 empty seats won't deliver the same experience.
REMF is a fans' charity. By the fans and for the fans. It works because everybody gets to rub shoulders with everybody else on the night.

Couldn't agree with you more. Dripping Pan is an appropriate venue for the gate, and sound doesn't get lost in a cavernous, nearly empty stadium.

As I understand it the game will be returning to the Pan next year.
Looking forward to the game as always regardless of location, a good night out for a good cause.

I'm pretty sure that all those who attend will still get to rub shoulders with everybody else on the night m'lud, seeing as how we'll all doubtless be (correctly) kettled into a tiny wee space with (incorrectly) inadequate provision for food'n'drink.

Is this not the 15th year of the charity? If so a one off at Falmer might be a good thing, especially if it means the players can raise more to play there.
Great for the club to do this and also, I'm sure, great for the lads who get to represent the Albion - getting to use the home dressing room and play on the sacred turf.
Presumably there will be a fair few ball boys/girls deployed around The Amex as I'm guessing just one stand will be open (North or West Lower) meaning that there would otherwise be a lot of time spent retrieving the ball from the empty stands every time it gets put into Row Z.

Will somebody be sponsored to leave a dirty protest in the Palace dressing room?
Maybe a Phoenix from the Flames type set up?

How much would you hope for each player to raise in order to take part?

2 days after the Championship play off final. It could be that the Brighton fans playing in this match would still be recovering from hangovers.

Don't see who is going to stop you drinking, just like the rugby and Fatboy Slim. Sounds good to me

Irrespective of venue, we can but pray that there will be yet another £5K raised for the Fiveways 'Village' Netball Club...

Obviously there is going to be a lot of interest in this years playing squad. More so than ever.
It will be an emotional one for last years team as we lost one of our own, but I wish to add at least 4 new faces to the squad.
If you are interested in playing, please email me brettmendoza@hotmail.com with your name, age, position and level you play at. it's at the Amex, we need a competitive team to beat Palace x

Each player is expected to raise a minimum of £400 each

For those asking about drinking. The bar will be open and you can drink in the comfort of your seat in the west lower whilst watching the match

How about an extra 2 places that are sold, say for a £1000 each?

That sounds a lot like Kemy after the end of the last transfer window.
Ooh.. thought drinking was banned for all football matches at the Amex - that's a BIG plus factor
