Brighton away

Quoted from ginnywings

Still can't believe we beat Everton all those years ago. They totally battered us for the entire game and were a very formidable team, but somehow we beat them with a wonder strike and backs to the wall defending.

The most one sided game against us we have won in my 50 years following Town

I was in the Barrett's stand that night, what an atmosphere.

Mike Brolly ended up teaching at my daughter's school on The Nunny.

Quoted from PB

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but it would be great if we were able to play
In black and white.
There is no clash with shorts or socks, and their current shirt is more blue than white.

I expect we'll be in Pink.

Quoted from Astings

You could email the CEO Paul Barber Paul.barber@bhafc.co.uk. He will answer you directly (not pass it on to a secretary). He is well known by Brighton fans for his engagement and loves an email, however expect a long reply!

Again it's something Brighton are great at ,they are all approachable, Tony Bloom often travels with the fans on the train with a few tinnys to sup. Also he will join the fans in the crowd when away.

New players are given a history lesson on the club and are aware of the bad times we suffered.

Thanks for the info mate, really appreciate it but was only having a laugh.

I don’t normally watch MOTD, but I did last night. It was very scary the way West Ham were completely demolished.

Glad that Soton won actually. It may be our game was such a low point for them that they respond well and stay up.

I don’t share that sentiment. I saw very little about Southampton FC on Wednesday night to suggest they are a credit to the Premier League.

Err, the game we won 1-0 was away at Everton, or was you referring to the 2-1 win at BP?

Everton were an outstanding team and won a euro trophy.

They were undefeated in the league at home that season.  Our win was massively against the odds.  Brighton could be the same - but don’t bank on it.

A Brighton fan above said you can email their Chairman direct and he will reply.  If it helps my wife’s grandmother was called Bloom.

You must have had a bloody good pair of binoculars then.

Southampton fans frequently posted that we were 16th in Div 2.  Not that we were a Div 2 team.  It is an additional emphasis on how lowly we are.  By inference that they should win easily.

If this mindset gets slightly in the minds of PL players then their motivation must be affected.

We are now 17th.  Ironically, unlike Southampton, Brighton have a long history of being beaten by lower-league opposition.  Charlton beat them in the  League Cup recently.  Reported that their manager is still very annoyed at this slip. But it happened.

We might end up with a Chelsea score.  However, this team has repeatedly proved to be exceptionally resilient and tough to beat in cup games.  We are winners.  If we can hold out early and frustrate them then who knows?

In 6 FAC games we have been high scorers and very tight defensively in the first half.  7 goals scored against Plymouth and Luton in 2 games.  No goals conceded in any first half since Plymouth (5th min).  Some confidence for playing Brighton early on.

Brighton are used to winning and used to winning well.  They do not know how we play. We BBC are an unknown surprise package.

Yes, it's an age thing
