Prescott really wanted Falmer to go-ahead ... hardly basking in glory to give the thumbs up to a simple League 1 stadium ... he had far far bigger political fish to fry. But he is a football fan (born and brought up near here and I know a couple of his close relations) and saw the argument for Falmer and with the support of his civil servants went for it!
We have Falmer BECAUSE of Prescott ... all the Fans for Falmer days, Live and Kicking campaigns, Tom Hark singles, sit downs, stand ups, Valentines cards etc etc would have meant for nothing if he had said 'no'
Thank you Mr Prescott from an Albion supporter of 43 years plus ... you helped save our club.
Hope he is invited.

I second that

The hardworking, incredibly unassuming Tim Colville.

The first game SHOULD be... Withdean XI v Goldstone/Gillingham XI.

If we play someone like Doncaster we have to give them tickets. I want the first game at Falmer to be full of Brighton fans. I want a Brighton Legend to be the first person to score at Falmer.

You're right.

Sod the glamour friendly - especially if a 'ramp up' event means we need to reduce capacity.

It's a BRIGHTON event.

First game - Albion Legends match
First match - Albion vs League Opposition on the first day of the season

That way the first proper game is still a massive event too.

ok, so some of them still work for the club, but the core Withdean players/Staff that have done and put up with so much in the battle for the new stadium:
Ben Roberts, Michel Kuipers, Danny Cullip, Guy Butters, Paul Watson, Kerry Mayo, Nathan Jones, Adam Virgo, Gary Hart (assuming he's not still with us), Charlie Oatway, Paul Rodgers, Richard Carpenter, Bobby Zamora, Micky Adams, Steve Coppell, Mark McGhee, Dean White, Bob Booker


Plus some legends:
Ward, Melia, Smith, Ryan, Storer, Reinelt, Gritt, Foster, Stevens
and any other ex Albion greats


oh, and Dick Knight

Ben Roberts WTF? The fella played less than a season for us.

Ian Chapman, Gary Hart, Michel Kuipers, Peter Ward, Bobby Zamora and Micky Adams, Danny Cullip, Charlie Oatway & Paul Rodgers should all be shoe ins.
