I'm sorry, but this is a FANTASTIC [though admittedly, probably impracticle] idea, and I am going to keep bouncing it until you all agree with me!
Bloody hell. I might go to that!
Well I'm not sure people from outside Lewes would be allowed.Exactly. Who wouldn't!

It is in Lewes for the people of Lewes.
And Seaford of course.
It's a good idea mate! On the previous page I just slagged off the JPT and I won't be going next week even if the tickets are free. We went last year to the Boston game; it was a soul-destroying experience and one I don't wish to repeat.Exactly. Who wouldn't!

But when you mentioned Lewes, (or more specifically, beer and terracing), I changed my mind! Same competiton but something a bit different and not another depressing evening at wet, windy, empty Withdean.
Eastbourne. Worthing. Crawley?
Is there a FA / JPT ruling that we are OBLIGED to hold our homes games in the competition at Withdean? I think it would be a BRILLIANT idea to take the team on tour round Sussex [much like England when Wembley was shut].
I can't see next Wednesday's crowd being much over 1500. If we held the match at Eastbourne or Worthing for example, we would get a comparable crowd, something a bit different for the regulars, plus [and this is the crucial bit] we might just attract some new fans in those areas.
What do you think?*
*bearing in mind that the competition rules probably don't allow it.
Eastbourne. Worthing. Crawley?
Do all newly promoted sides have to have all seater grounds?*
edit* After three years of going up
No, only if you are promoted to the Championship
Make all tickets £7 - Would probably get over 7000 and a near full stadium,
7000 x 7 = 49000
If its full price we would get under 2000, earning less gate money and an empty stadium
Why would we want to play games outside of Brighton?
I wouldn't go regardless of the price. I'm not interested in a competition where the criteria for entry is you have to be rubbish. Wake me up when we get to the final. I'd rather watch the Youth Team.
