Seemingly the only town fan currently in Brighton, I know it’s a trek but it’s a great night out and I’ve always reckoned it would be a class away day.
No lack of pubs whatsoever, good, friendly vibe everywhere, parking is limited/costly in the centre but not too hard to get park a little bit out of town and bus or walk in.
Sun should be shining by mid March, it’ll be a great day/night out , can’t wait to see the streets black and white! UTM

Quite certain we will be Sunday afternoon...
My prediction:
Sheffield United vs Blackburn - Friday Night (They will postpone there games on the Wednesday). Man City vs Burnley - Saturday some point. Brighton vs Grimsby - Sunday dinner or 2pm (Our game the Tuesday after then postponed potentially). Man Utd vs Fulham - Sunday afternoon/tea time.
The premier league will oppose to Brighton's game being postponed on the Wednesday. Man Utd will need to play on Sunday afternoon as they are away in Spain on Thursday night. Man City will need to play Saturday, as they cannot play same day as Man U, as both at home.
The only other thing would be Man City on the Friday, as they play Tuesday so that gives them enough break and Sheffield vs Blackburn on the Saturday, but either way I don't think it changes for us. I could imagine they would want a big team on each day aswell though, so expect Sheff U on Friday, Man City on Sat and Man U on Sunday.
FA normally like two games on the Sunday, so hopefully they change it this time and put two on the Saturday and we end up playing Saturday dinner time.
Last year I'm told there wasn't a Friday game. Two on Saturday and two on Sunday.

One on Saturday, three on Sunday last season. Anything but Friday will be fine!

Apparently Brighton fans are buying inflatable seagulls to join in the fun.

I can't see why the demand for tickets would be any lower than for the Play-off final. There were will a certain number of ST Holders that will never go to away games that distance away, but demand for general sale will be through the roof. 1878 and Trust membership will really be beneficial this time.

Sunday early game would be great. Get down for Saturday lunchtime, fish and chips (get to say they were excrement afterwards), bit of coining in the arcades, walk on the pier, watch the Saturday teatime game with a few beers to scout out potential semi final opponents. Then a seafront walk and a hearty breakfast on the Sunday morning. Couple of pints, knockout Brighton, head back North with a song in our hearts listening to Radio 5 discuss how nobody will want to play us in the semi's. Textbook.

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

Seems the usual allocation is 3000. Guess that could be a bit short of demand. Maybe they’ll make more available. I mean, the cost, the distance, the time and effort and hassle - our fans are astonishing. There is a bit of me that would’ve loved to pack Bramhall Lane. Or BP, so I get what you’re saying.
Fa cup rules state they need to provide 15% of capacity. Capacity at their stadium is 30k. So 4.5k

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