I was there with my dad. That was the day I cried and my love afair stated with Brighton as was a Liverpool fan age 11.
Just hope TV doesnt f*** it up and make it the fri night or sat lunchtime kick off
we struggled to sell 2700 for Palace and a round trip of 550 miles will put of plenty
Nothing wrong with those dates although if Friday night might stay overnight
Hello all,
I posted on NSC after we played you at the Amex in the Carling Cup thanking you, your town and your club for a splendid day out and when we drew you today I was genuinely made up. Not only because you're not Chelsea, Spurs or Arsenal but because I feel that anyone who will be visiting us from Brighton will have as excellent a day out as I had on the south coast. Just thought I could provide some info if needed.
It's most likely you will get the entire Anfield Road End Lower which holds just under 7,000 and because you're not Mancunians, segregation and police barricades won't be as stringent, therefore allowing for a few more bums on seats.
The game will be a complete sell-out so expect a shade under 45,000 on the day.
There are some really good, friendly alehouses within 100 yards of the ground and you will have a good laugh in them but I advise you get to the ground an hour before kick off because the actual Anfield Road is narrow and super busy on match days and with a large amount of you coming and more than likely being 'patted down' by security (a pain in the arse I know, try being a scouser on an away day!) plus the usual day-trippers taking photos of The Shankly Gates and the Hillsborough Memorial, it may take some time getting to your seat.
I was accused of being condescending by a few on here when I posted earlier in the season, merely for expressing my gratitude to Brighton but I, and many other travelling scousers, developed a real liking for Brighton that day and came away hoping we'd see you at Anfield in the Premier League next year. As it happens that day will happen sooner than we thought!
I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone may have in terms of travel, hotels, alehouses etc.
Many Thanks,
GratefulRed
To be fair the 200 odd would be a tiny chunk anyway, so would hardly make a difference, except to the people who actually made the effort too travel up there..
People who traveled too Wrexham away should get priority before anyone else..
It will make a huge difference if all 16000 Falmer season ticket holders who want one don't get one.
This comes up every time theres a big game.
"I went to this game so I must get one"
Although I am critical of the way the club haddles some things, I think they have got the loyality scheme spot on.
You went to Wrexham. Well done. So porbably did someone who lives 20 miles away from the ground and has a soft spot for Brighton, but should they jump in front of a season ticket holder?
If your not a season ticket holder, you're unlikely to get a ticket. Get over it.
If you are a first year season ticket holder, you still may struggle to get a ticket. Harsh on those who cannot afford or cannot make every game so choose not to/could not buy a season ticket, but why someone who goes to one game thinks they should get a ticket before season ticket holders is beyond me.
Just hope TV doesnt f*** it up and make it the fri night or sat lunchtime kick off
I trust these tickets are being used by SOMEONE, though?I'm buying a ticket just for the loyalty points. It's like gamerscore. I'm not going tho. I done the same for palace and others.
Am worried that I won't get a ticket with 190 points, but remaining positive that many STH will opt to watch it on TV. Might buy a ticket to another game beforehand to bump it up to 200 to increase my chances.

So how does that work when web sales go on sale at 17:00 hrs and the ticket office the next day at 09:00 hrs - I take it you have fixed your short straw or either you or your mate gets a bad deal
I was just making the point if you want a ticket get your arse in gear there is no reason ST holders should miss out.
