I have been very impressed with Brighton this season and last. They play very good pass and move football, with speed and threat. They are on a totally different level to Southampton and I very much doubt we can live with them, but as ever with football, you never know.
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
Definitely. Thanks for reminding me of that Everton game - I've switched allegiance from the "There's no way we don't get tonked at Brighton" camp (for which I now feel suitably and properly ashamed) to your "I very much doubt we can live with them" camp. There's no doubt the fates conspired in our favour at Southampton; we'll need all that and more at the Amex though.

Was it Chelsea that gave Scunny the full gate receipts from their cup match a while back? That’d be nice wouldn’t it? Brighton don’t need the cash, would be a nice PR boost for them. I’ll send Mr Bloom an email
Yup, and since then the w@makers at the FA have put a stop to it. I seem to recall Arsenal were happy to take nothing from their game at Sutton but instead donated a sum to their training facilities.

Sorry to dissapoint you but there is very little chance of us playing a weakened team, De Zerbi will likely field a very strong line-up. Having watched us today v West Ham it was men v boys, we absolutely battered them! Arguably our best performance of the season so far. Your boys will have to be on it from the start and be alive to the pace of the game, you don't get any time on the ball at this level and mistakes are often punished. Our Japanese winger, Mitoma, is on fire and could cause you a lot of problems. It should be a cracking cup tie and atmosphere, can't wait !
It may sound an odd comment but as well as your players the size of your pitch might hurt us as well, your players have great movement and the ability to move the ball very quickly and open up the pitch, something you don’t see at L2 level that often. It would be a massive compliment if your manager played a really strong side to be honest.

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.

I would just like to say I cannot wait for this. Don't think there's any chance of me getting a ticket but my trains are booked, weekend in a great city, full of fellow mariners. It's what it's all about.

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.
