New Season Fixtures

[joggerjayne]

The fixtures came out for the new season today, wooo!

Brighton had a season ticket holders breakfast at the stadium, at which the fixture list was announced.

What does your list look like? Our first game is at home to Notts Forest.

I quite fancy Cardiff away. That could be a jolly trip.

All joking aside, i certainly don't expect us to 'bounce' straight back up to the Prem. We've lost Danny Ings to Liverpool, Kieran Trippier is about to sign for Spurs and we've just knocked Derby County back on their initial bid - there's bound to be more - for Jason Shackell. All 3 will be hard to replace and many of the teams we face will up their game against us because of where we were last season. September looks promising on paper - 3 home games and just the one away:-)

We didn't sell our soul, Ken. The chairman and his Board sold our stadium and trousered the money.

Home game against Spurs for United, wonder what colour Harry Kane will be wearing. A good overall spread for next season not playing back to back games against the 'top' clubs all at once.

Am hoping that Sky do me a favour and shift our first game to a Sunday as we've got Swansea at home and I fly back from Kyrgyzstan on the morning of the 8th August. Otherwise my brother will get free use of my season ticket that day.

jj 21.02; Didn't mean to be facetious, jj, and i remember, now, that you were on the verge of going out of the Football League at around that time and just survived by the skin of your teeth. Same happened to us in '87 and we beat Orient 2-1 to stay in the football league. I don't know how the Seagulls would have reacted to relegation to non-league status, but i honestly believe that the Clarets would have folded. And i have shivers down my spine even as i type that statement - and have probably just given myself nightmares:-/ Hope you have a better season than last.

I know you were kidding, Ken

And yes, we only just survived.
