Sussex Senior Cup Today...

[jordanseagull]

It'll be my first Final IF i go. I was wondering, what's the atmosphere like? Is it just completely flat, because if it is, i wont be splashig out the £5 for the day, I can't really afford it! So yeah, any ideas?

 

[Andrew]

Is it going to be at Eastbourne? Who's playing?

 

[jordanseagull]

You really haven't been paying attetion all year have you! Brighton (reserves) v Eastbourne, At Eastbourne.

 

[Andrew]

Eastbourne won 11-1? Oh Crowborough , they're in the Sussex Leagues I think

 

[borowha]

come along and enjoy,you will meet many old friends,former Albion fans who started to watch lower league football when the Goldstone went.Eastbourne Boro have climbed through the lower leagues to the lofty position that they now find themselves in and have built a reputation as a friendly club and an example of how to run a club within there means.Enjoy the experience

The first team players are usually in the crowd too, if you fancy some autographs.

 

[jordanseagull]

Oh good. And the atmosphere..?

 

[gullshark]

Last year it was a bit crap cause we were playing Crawley Town, but this year we're playing the Boro first team at their own ground so I think it'll be pretty good.

No segregation either.

 

[Andrew]

how many people are they expecting?

Anyone know how far the ground is from the station. I suppose I'll make an appearance after all

It's closer to Pevensey/West Ham than Eastbourne station. Quite a walk I'm afraid.

It's a brisk but pleasant 15 minutes from Pev and Westham station - unmissable as you'll see the floodlights rising in majesty above the marshes (sorry, my radio rhetoric is taking over again). Updates all afternoon on BBC Sussex for those who can't get there, but it's always a really good occasion in local football and a reminder that there is thriving football life in Sussex beyond the Withdean. You'll find a welcoming club and a ground better equipped in almost all respects than the Withdean.... go on, risk it.

Can't guarantee what sort of side Albion will put out, but it's usually a mixture. Last year Jake Robinson won it with two goals against Crawley Town.

Delighted that you guys pulled off the escape; best wishes from us in the non-league.

I thought we beat Crawley 1v0 with a goal from Chamberlain last year?

Then you are correct.

 

[kevinanderson]

Oops. sorry, you are dead right - it was two years ago that Jake won it.

Do not go to Eastbourne station unless you want a 4 mile walk to the ground
Go to Pevensey and Westham station, it's the closest station.
