[Albion] Will people bother going to the home tie next week?

[Hugo Rune]

Yes.

Nothing more than a meaningless friendly that’ll no doubt end 0-0 as Roma will be more interested in rolling around on the ground and we won’t be able to hit a barn door with a banjo.

But, our last game in Europe for what might be 100 years+ (it’d never happened before had it?) is certainly well worth going to.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Loads of tickets on the exchange already.

About 38

 

[Silverhatch]

Anyone think the Roma fans will bother

Botty Stabbers in Brighton! A headline from a mid-70s Argus.

 

[Rinkmaster]

Let's not forget where we have come from. I will be there. Have we become so entitled that we do not remember the hard times.

 

[brighton_tom]

Absolutely. And I shall applaud the players at full time for their efforts. I’ve watched the Albion nearly drop out of the football league, so anyone withdrawing support because we’ve lost to ROMA in the Europa League is just nuts!

 

[Easy 10]

I'll be there, but I'm absolutely sick that this is a dead rubber. REALLY sick. All I wanted was for it to be a proper tie, still alive. But no, like the Tory abolition of Worcester crisps, I've got the middle finger again.

This season is fizzling out like a Roman candle soaked in piss.

 

[AZ Gull]

The bizarre thing being I watched Albion home and away all through the mediocre and downright awful years but have seen next to none of the greatest live !

I feel your pain brother!

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

More importantly who's going to Forest

Sold my Forest tickets a few weeks back (went within the hour of listing) lost my dad a few years back so don’t want her on her own on the day.

I sense some significant gaps due to Mother’s Day

 

[Pavilionaire]

I'm going and it wouldn't surprise me if we won, albeit on the back of them resting 4 or 5 players.

I'm also fascinated by what is going on with De Zerbi. All this talk of Liverpool, Barcelona, Man Utd yet - for me - he is miles away from that level, and the last few weeks haven't done his credentials any favours. I'm not calling for his head, and I hope he commits to us for now and next season, but I've reached the point where I can see it is not the end of our world if he left.

[Eeyore]

Yes.

Nothing more than a meaningless friendly that’ll no doubt end 0-0 as Roma will be more interested in rolling around on the ground and we won’t be able to hit a barn door with a banjo.

Agreed. If you think Fulham were bad then wait to see this lot next week. Especially if Albion did score early

 

[Comrade Sam]

Can we not emulate the Massive in last year's play off. I doubt it, but I'm still well excited about schlepping from Walthamstow and back next Thursday.
Just seen the post added whilst typing.

 

[Steve in Japan]

I'm in. Let's give it a proper go!

 

[Stato]

Anyone who has tickets, but doesn't fancy it can just wait for the next time Brighton & Hove Albion are playing in the last sixteen of a European Competition.

We go disappointed, we go sad, but we go: even if just to say thanks and to celebrate with each other the journey we never thought we'd go on.
That's what we did when whatever players who could still stand faced Wednesday in the second leg of the play offs. The defiant performance and atmosphere that night didn't win the tie, but it set the tone for the following season's promotion.

True love travels on a gravel road.

 

[A1X]

The fact this is even a thread really does just play into every Palace moron’s ideas about our club

 

[DavePage]

maybe if the offside goal didn’t count the fourth would not have happened?
my wife said are you still boing next week, from Spain.
Hell yes, I can applaud the best team we have ever produced, or celebrate the craziest comeback ever.
what’s not to go for

 

[Pevenseagull]

That being the case I might be able to go!

Hoorah!!!

You did applaud that team, last season.

 

[trueblue]

Even if the tie’s dead, we can still have a go at winning next week’s game. That wouldn’t be so bad against a team that’s won a European competition and been in the Final of another in the last 2 seasons.
