Brighton away

It’s 83 years since our last FA Cup quarter final , these games don’t come around very often for Grimsby fans so I’m pretty sure we’ll sell out whatever tickets they offer us .
I reckon if they’re struggling to sell all their home tickets then we could get more than 5000

I had a look on their forum and in a typical Brighton sort of way they was concerned about the plastic waste from inflatables 😂

They shouldn't worry we will need the 'Harry's' for the semi final too!

Quoted from lukeo

Fa cup rules state they need to provide 15% of capacity. Capacity at their stadium is 30k. So 4.5k

Not quite true.

Liverpool's allocation wss 4800.

Quoted from 137

Can't see how anything could possibly go wrong with such a well-planned visit. Most impressed...

The trick is going in with realistic expectations. I know the fish and chips will be excrement so I won't be disappointed when they are. As you say, pretty much foolproof other than that 😉

Anybody who thinks 4,800 will be enough is way off. We will sell that out no problem at all.

If it's on the Sunday, there'll be a few disappointed Mothers in Grimsby that day!

Just had a look on their forum and they’re already talking about Wembley allocations & ticket prices.

Fair enough they’ll probably beat us, I just hope we snap a few legs in the process. Always disliked their fans, glad we sent them down in 02/03.

I don't think many people will underestimate the challenge your club will bring. An upset can happen to anyone and the club and team will treat everyone from Grimsby FC and the fans with the respect you deserve.

It is natural if you are a hot favourite to start thinking about what will probably be, I imagine some of your fans would think similarly in such a situation.

And as for the other comment about disliking fans and breaking legs, well it's a free country but I personally wish you well and your fans. Fans of Brighton from my generation know what it is to kick about in the lower leagues and you've had the resilience to bounce back well and that's to be admired. If you visit Brighton, you'll likely have a great weekend whatever the score and may come away preferring not to break other teams players legs.

Quoted from Maringer

The Falmer Stadium is smaller than the St. Mary's so a lower allocation. If we could take over 4,000 for a midweek game, I'd have thought we'd be able to take a lot more than that to a weekend game in our first quarter - final for 84 years.

The only issue might be Mother's Day affecting numbers if the game is played on Sunday as expected.

Our stadium is only 500 or so smaller than St Mary's presently. I think you get 15% and that makes your allocation around 4770 of a total 31800.

Edit: JUst read the post about the rules for stadiums over a certain size not having to give 15% so what I said may not be entirely accurate. I don't think we will change what we did for Liverpool though, wouldn't seem fair.

I mean is it better than the Withdean? We sold out the corner there 😉

Withdean, now we enjoyed a lot of success there, but what a soul destroying stadium that was. Man U had Theatre of Dreams whilst we had the Theatre of Trees. And kudos for trying the away end. Even worse than the family stand view. You needed binoculars.
