Who should be the opponants for the first game at Falmer?

[murraymints4brighton]

Would love it to be Donny, but I seem to remember DK doing some sort of deal with Man City?!

Yes, I think you are correct. Pretty sure it was confirmed as the opening match at Falmer, that being a friendly against Manchester City.

Nope - they said it may be one of the first games but not the first

 

[wahoo]

the albion stuffed city last year at withdean , so to play a friendly against them , hmm not sure

 

[perseus]

le Havre

We must remain undefeated.

 

[in_the_sand]

Palace for me.....so we can sing "shit ground"

It's OK we'll probably join in that one!

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I know donny would be a meaningful game but it just DOESNT inspire me AT ALL.

I wanna see some BIG BOYS.

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

there's no way it should be palace. there's nothing more likely to put a downer on the opening game than losing to them. i think we want much more of a fans united atmos.

The first game at Falmer will almost certainly be a ramp up event. So, do we want a big club to be the first game at Falmer, or do we want a big club to be the first full capacity game at Falmer?

Man City will do for me. Not Palace, if they beat us in the first game at ur new stadium, it will haunt us forever.

I was thinking along the same lines-maybe it should be Hartlepool because without those 5 goals it's unlikely that we'd be needing Falmer now.

And we definitely need the FULL version of Sussex By The Sea, with vocals and played by the Royal Sussex Regiment (or whatever it has become these days). No short version on a CD please.

 

[FLOG GNAW]

Not a big team.

QUOTE=New Carpet?;3410712]Fans United 2 in 97/98 season at Priestfield - supporters of both clubs struck up a rapport and joined up in protest against the mismanagement of both clubs by Archer and Donny's equivalent, Ken Richardson.

It MUST be Doncaster as our first opponents at Falmer, even if they turn out to be playing in the same league as us that season.

It'll be great advert to show the sporting world how far both clubs have come since those dark days, and how "fans united will never be defeated."[/QUOTE]


You've won me over to the Donny camp.[

What is the link between ourselves and Doncaster Rovers?

 

[Napper]

I'd say lets risk palace. Big crowd, big night.

I love the Donny idea, but what about hereford as a ramp up event or is that a bit like rubbing their noses in it? "oh look at our new stadium and your still playing next to a cattle market!"

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Donny & ourselves were both royally shafted by crooks yet our clubs have survived, gone backwards to go forward and now find themselves (or soon to be) in new grounds and playing at a much higher level.

both clubs live today as a testement to the fans who fought so hard for survival and the sets of fans therefore have a common bond and mutual respect.

It would be great to have Donny down as a 'ramp up' event and invite those fans down especially those who saw our last game at the Goldstone. It'll also send out a message of hope to all those other clubs going through hard times and 2 fingers up to the football authorities who just couldn't care less.

 

[Stoo82]

Doncaster Rovers for me. With both old teams as guests of honor.

Has to be Donny - I'm surprised there's much debate about it TBH

 

[Frutos]

Surely has to be Donny.
