Not sure our home friendly has commonly been a Saturday that often at the Amex. Often Sunday or Friday.

I like it.
Doubles as my Friday evening out, and means I don't get it in the neck for not being with the family on Saturday. Wouldn't want it every week mind.

Not seen such Bravery!
A big game for the players wanting to create a positive first impression with Potter.
I'm looking to see over the whole pre-season if any of Connolly, Gyokeres, Mlakar or Alzate will ease the job of the recruitment team.

I don’t know Bischofshofen very well, so have tried googling a pre-match bar. The best that I can come up with seems to be the Admiral Sportsbar on Bahnhofstrasse. Stating the obvious, it’s close to the station and only a short stroll from the ground. Our train is due in about 11.10am. Weather out here is lousy at the moment!
You must be almost there.

I'll give it a view, but I don't think a match on a ground smaller than Southwick's against what would probably be non-League opposition in this country is any sort of test.

What to expect from Brighton
It's hard to say exactly what to expect in terms of a lineup. However, one thing is for sure there will certainly be a different style of play.
Potter is known for playing an attacking style of football and it means The Seagulls will go out and play a very positive game from the start.
In terms of lineup, Albion will probably play two different elevens. One may be a mix of some U23 and senior player who maybe did not get a look in.
Then, the other half may see Brighton play a stronger side full of first-teamers.
Who are FC Liefering
One thing people will not know much about is Brighton's opponents.
Liefering play their football in the Austrian second division and have been a feeder club to Red Bull Salzburg since 2012.
The average age of their squad is 18 and a half. It is not only for age reasons that Liefering are likely to be energetic and athletic rivals.
They are also further advanced in their preparations after finishing just below halfway last season.
They have already played one friendly, a 2-1 home defeat by Bayern Munich's second team last Saturday, and they begin their league campaign a fortnight sooner than Albion at the end of July.

U23's... Alzate is ACM, Mlakaar is striker, I believe...

Steven Alzate, young CM we picked up from Leyton Orient a year or two back, was on loan at Swindon last season and seemed to pick up more than a few man of the match awards (before getting injured). Very comfortable/elegant on the ball from the bits I’ve seen.
