I really do appreciate that, it’s so nice of you, but no, I’m going to decline and see where I end up on Sunday! But thank you, I’ll not forget how great you lot have been on this forum since the draw. I hope you don’t all do an about-turn after the final whistle, wink wink x.
To be honest I love what the FA cup is about. I've seen us at the final and the replay back in 1983, seen us in the semi a few years ago. I fully appreciate just what it means to fans of clubs lower down the pyramid. We're looking good in the league, we're currently living our dream. I'd love to lose to you if we can bank a European spot. To be fair we're likely to be close to Wembley again soon (last words) you may not unless it's in a play-off. We remember where we've come from, those that campaigned long and hard for where we are now, sadly many never got to see that final day when we moved back into a permanent ground in the city and then to the EPL.The club includes a history lesson to all new staff during induction, that's to new players, coaches down to the cleaners. It's important to us to remember our battle to survive. Enjoy your day.All of you!

I’m slightly tipsy and pressed the Red Cross on my phone by accident - mid-40’s with terrible eyesight, that’s all! I like your post, and we do aspire to achieve similar heights. Maybe one day….

I was born in Shoreham and lived in Lancing in the 60s. My first ever pro football game was on 5th November 1966-Brighton v Doncaster Rovers (0.0.) for my school mates birthday do in the days of the great Kit Napier. The old man was a Grimsby exile and we moved back up north in December 66 before I got hooked. Most posters on this board won't be aware of the dark Brighton days when, if I remember correctly the Goldstone was sold from underneath you and the exile at Gillingham began. Its a tribute to Brighton fans that you kept the club going. You deserve every success now. I hope one day we can emulate what's gone on in Sussex by the Sea.

I know what you‘re saying but there was a time not long ago that we called Wembley Blundell Park South because we were there so often (four times in four seasons, five in eight)!

You can turn the Red Cross into a green tick or even a gold star if you really feel bad - just go back to the post and press the alternative.
