It'll be really boring if Prescott has made his mind up by then....

Sound ideas. If 6th March is to be "Football needs Falmer" day, then we need to start work pronto!
Another thought - does anyone know a R5Live presenter (Jonathon Pierce?). It would be fantastic if we could could get Sport on Five on Saturday 6th presented live from some appropriate location in Brighton (eg: a large pub where the landlord is very pro-Albion). All sorts of guest opportunities present themselves (apart from Dick Knight, Des Lynam, Norman Cook, etc, etc).

I don't think Crawley is a good idea, that game could be critical to them for promotion and they will be concentrating on that.
They won't want us raining on their parade for a Falmer protest and probably would get wind of it and stop anyone getting in wearing a Brighton shirt.
Oxford, on the other hand, would probably be delighted of the support- they're going for promotion, and they have Andy Crosby, Paul McCarthy and Lee Steele.
We need to pop up somewhere unexpected to draw attention to the fact that we're there. Five hundred Albion fans in colours at Oxford or similar would be highly conspicuous (unless their stewards thought we were Huddersfield and wouldn't let us in). Can't do Bournemouth as their ground's too small, Millwall- well we'd have to have a death wish, and all the others are a few hours drive, so Oxford seems like the best idea to me.
How about fancy dress- it avoids any issues with team colours and it's extremely visible.
A busload of comedy ostriches, Arabs, Obi Wan Kenobis, nuns and pantomime horses, all brandishing We Want Falmer banners can't fail to be noticed.

This Oxford website seems quite popular, perhaps we could sound them out about the 6/3

I would definitely be up for going to Oxford - it'll be like watching a Brighton all-stars team!
The Large One
Who's Next?
How about approaching Roger French of Brighton & Hove Buses (a keen Albion / business / community supporter), and asking him to hire us a bus decked out in Albion/Falmer For All regalia. It can either go around the town/city with a tannoy going, or be hired for an NSC away day to go to Oxford.
If we ask nicely, he may sponsor it, and we can get it cheaply.

Not sure why everyone's poo-pooing Crawley. I just got this response from them:
"we'd be delighted to welcome all the fans
"And this is hot off the press. We've announced that kids will get in for £3 as opposed to £5 on the day.
"I could talk to the clubs MD and Supporter club chairman tonight saying you are keen on doing a leaflet around the ground. I'm sure they would both be amenable to the cause.
"I'll get back to you...and soon"

Because a day out in Oxford on the Brighton & Hove fun-bus is a tad more appealing than a day out in Crawley?
I and many others have to work in Crawley, so I'd rather not come back to it's unwelcoming concrete-icity at weekends as well.
Oxford, on the other hand, is largely speaking an attractive city, is full of students, and therefore (logical progression here) full of pubs, and there's a possibility according to a previous post of getting a bus going up there. And the football ground is a new one, that most of us haven't been to.
Hence my vote's pointing towards the dreaming spires at this stage, for a big NSC/Albion day out.
In fancy dress.
