Will Saturday be your first Premier League game?

[Biancazzurro]

Like most Brighton fans I'm getting more and more excited about Saturday as the week rolls by. Today I realised I've never been to a Premier League game before. I've been to games in League One, the Championship, The FA Cup, the League Cup, Serie A, Serie B, the Coppa Italia, The Europa League and the Bundesliga - but never a Premier League game. I'm happy about it, it feels right that my first would be watching my team.

How about you?

Nope, my friend is a Chelsea STH along with his father, his father had an operation and had to miss a game v Newcastle maybe 7 or so years ago so I got to go.

Tickets were in the home end right behind the goal, and much to my surprise my neighbour in the seat next to me was Stephen Marcus who played Nick the Greek in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Wimbledon v Leeds - that Yeboah goal. Can't remember when it was though.

I went to Arsenal v West Ham 5 or 6 years ago after I ponced a ticket from someone at work.

0-0, shocking game. The Arsenal fans gave their own player Eboue absolute DOGS abuse all afternoon, and actually cheered when he got stretchered off injured.

 

[Weststander]

No.

I knew a Fulham fan and through him I was able to see some PL games home and away. At Craven Cottage, predictably, it was that half of the away stand meant for home fans ... but in reality dominated by illicit legions from mega clubs like Liverpool and Brighton.

No, not my first. I've seen Charlton upset Villa 4-3 at Villa Park, and Saints upset Liverpool 2-0 at St. Mary's. Another upset on Saturday to keep the run going would do nicely

I remember that. Eboue was the punch bag until he left, when the 'loyal' Gooners hated someone else in their first eleven.

Just one. Went to Old Trafford a few years back to see Man U v Fulham when's mate had a spare ticket. Got to see the likes of Teves and Ronaldo play but nothing like watching the Albion. Was a Monday night game so didn't clash with one of our fixtures

I went to a few PL games back in the late 90s/early 00s.

Wimbledon 0-0 Derby - possibly the most dull game I've ever been to
Wimbledon vs Villa
Chelsea vs Derby
Southampton vs Sunderland

My first Premier League game. I'm not overly excited by it to be honest, although I'm obviously pleased that we've got there.

The previous few seasons, and especially last season, makes me realise just how much I miss regular Saturday 3pm games.

The sense of entitlement there is incredible. Horrible atmosphere - its like the fans were just WAITING for something to moan about. Like having a stadium full of @BW 's.

No. My work had a few hospitality season tickets at St Mary's for a few years, before Saints fell OUT of the Prem.

In fact I was there the day they got relegated, and also the day Matt Oakley pushed the linesman over (right in front of us).

 

[SwedishSonna]

First prem game was Newcastle vs Wigan a few seasons back. It was cold.

One of my Chelsea supporting mates had his birthday party as going to Chelsea v Coventry in 2000. I did get to see Zola, Hasselbaink and Andre Flo all score though. 6-1.

Wow.

What kind of fixture would it take for you to actually get excited about then ?

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Fulham v Villa I was working in London. Saw Man U a couple of times early 90s as mate was a fan - not sure if PL or Div 1. Also Chelsea v Villa when Villa had a chance at the league - again, not sure if PL or Div 1.

And paying £2,000 per s/t for the privilege!

 

[blue'n'white]

Been to a few but Saturda's match will be the first featuring MY team. Looking forward to it immensely

 

[BBassic]

Went to Arsenal vs Blackburn years ago. They were still at Highbury at the time.

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

Nope, been to a couple

Fulham v West Brom about 10 years ago - ended 1-0 to Fulham
Chelsea v Villa - 4-4
West Ham v Chelsea - I think it ended either 3-2 or 2-1. Either way it was the day we got battered by Palace and me and the Mrs. nearly split up because I ditched Christmas decorations and her work meal to go to the West Ham match as my mate got me a free ticket in a box. The free beer alone was worth it
