I dunno, Brighton are now an established top-half PL team with a fairly new 32,000 seater stadium (the third biggest in the draw) which will be full come match day. It’s a new ground for Town and an architecturally unique one, unlike the Saints Bowl.
Brighton's stadium is a bit odd: two big side stands, but relatively small behind the goals. That might help Town. I think Bramall Lane, Turf Moor or Ewood Park would have been more intimidating. As long as Brighton don't score early, it should be a cracking game.

Went to the Withdean a couple of times, is the new stadium better?
Just a bit🤣 Withdean is an athletic track; the Amex is a purpose built football stadium.😀

Do we think it'll be full? I genuinely don't know - they seem to fill it for league games.
It’ll sell out, no question.

I should hope so too, it’s your cup final.

It seems your ticket allocation is 4621 which I'm sure you will sell out in no time at all, shame we couldn't give you a few more but there is a chance that if the home tickets don't seem to look like selling out then you might get an extra allocation. I think that's unlikely though as its an FA Cup quarter final and as exciting and anticipated for us as it is for Grimsby fans. There's a semi final at Wembley for the winners so we certainly wont be fielding a weakened team or taking it for granted as we've never won anything of note apart from a few promotions as champions and this looks like our best chance ever of actually winning something and qualifying for Europe. That is not something I ever dreamed of saying even 10 years ago! We've been through some dark times as a club in the past but somehow managed to end up where we are now. Its easily the best and most skillful Albion team I've ever seen us field in over 45 years of watching us and most Albion fans are fairly humble about where we've come from and not like the entitled type of fans you get at Chelsea, Man City etc. Looking forward to welcoming all you Mariners down for a great FA cup tie.

There is no chance of any additional allocation. ST holders in the East stand and SW corner being moved from their usual seats already have chance to buy elsewhere in the stadium.

Just to let you know the cost of the ticket includes certain travel plans, this includes park and ride, buses in the area to and from the Amex but also a zone of train travel. This means you only need to buy a train return ticket to Haywards Heath. The return ticket from Haywards Heath to Falmer (The station 100 yards from the Amex) is included in the ticket price. Therefore don't pay to go beyond Haywards Heath it's all covered.

Clear guidance about the various crowd capacities at The Amex.
Just as well this tie is not at Blundell Park. If Brighton fans had innocently asked what our stadium capacity was, we would still be here in a years time arguing about the correct total capacity. But

i think those saying that at least Brighton won't tonk us like Moan U or Citeh could do, should take a look at Brighton's performances and league position this year. They are a VERY good side ,and if they turn up it could easily be a tonking
