Season starts with an Away Fixture again....

jamie the seagull · Jun 11, 2013

Due to the Pride festival in Brighton during the weekend of 3rd August.

As Andy Naylor has confirmed that we have requested to start the season with an away fixture, does anyone know if there will be a fixture the following mid-week (Tues,Weds) like the Cardiff fixture ?
Or will this be one of the mid-week fixtures that will be lost?

Nice one, the annual NSC gay pride binfest is always a welcome distraction in the close season :clap:

The midweek game is likely to be the Carling cup game.

The 2nd game will be the following Saturday at home I think, why the season started a week earlier as then it removes a midweek game.

Midweek will be the COC - hopefully we can use the acronym a bit more this season.

Pride takes place on a Saturday. Why couldn't we play a home game on the Sunday?

In answer to the above question: There will be League Cup fixture in the first week. However, that could also be away of course.

I see the Carling Cup First Round is that week but I was not sure if we were in it at that stage?

The tuesday night after the opening saturday is a cup night isn't it? So our first home league match will be on the 10th.

Because sunday games are pony.

Always seems to be a northern fixture (Crewe twice, Hull last season). My money's on Wigan.

Genuinely hope it's one of the bigger teams. Let's get Reading / QPR out of the way early on...

Good, an away game is always the best way to start off the season.

You've got your dates wrong. Pride vs Football = away day.

It's now called The Capital One Cup, and we are in the 1st round, seeded vs a lower league southern team ( like Portsmouth ). Maybe home or away.

Brighton lives on tourism and the pink pound, and pride is one of the biggest days in the tourism calander. they got out of the way for the one time it mattered, so lets just let it be.

Glad we're away first game. On holiday until Sunday the 4th.

Does take the piss a little bit though

Couldn't Pride and the Albion alternate every year for that weekend or something?
