I think that the collective reaction of Brighton fans to this fixture, rightly or wrongly, was 'meh'.

Is it true that Crawley are close to seeling their 9,000? Where did the other 8k come from? Impressive nonetheless.

anything for a day away from crawley !

 

[severnside gull]

I will be buying mine on the gate - currently 3 but could be more.
Will be doing the same at Yeovil which is also officially "all ticket for away supporters"

Albion will continue to do this to justify charging for away memberships but it very rarely matters (although I did have to sit in the home end at Southampton and Bournemouth, albeit with friends and to an extent by choice)

Indeed.

I've managed fine up until now without purchasing an away membership.

AMS what a load of bollocks!

That sounds ominous i didnt particulary want to go in the home end, got tickets for the home end for the Utd crawley game aswell and didnt really want to go to that either.
Atleast if i do get turned away i want have a long journey back home

Gus played the first team at Watford because he said it would not have been fair on the thousands of fans who made the trip to play the ressies and then we were crap against Orient, so I am boycotting and suggest you all do the same and then he can put the ressies out against Stoke and we can go and smash Plymouth!!

 

[Was not Was]

Two wins from Wembley though ...

Must get you a bit excited, no?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Bought 2 yesterday. I know that there will be another 14 sold to my fellow window licking minibus travellers.

However without rehashing old threads (and I see both sides of the argument) but it is ONLY Stoke so I can understand why people are not getting excited.

However like HKFC said I was on hold for 20mins yesterday before I got my tix tho you can order online and they are on general sale shortly so wil pick up then im sure.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Now could several thousand of those be Man U fans who can't usually get a ticket? Hmmm, let me see ...

Exactly. Like I said on a prev thread its a chance for Utd "fans" to go to see their team actually play LIVE. Instead of on the box.

 

[The French Mistress]

Not bothered...............got to economise having forked out for ST at Falmer. Don't want neck ache either from all that in the air stuff from Stoke.

This is the biggest domestic cup competition in the world and we're in the last sixteen of it. We are playing the best football many of us have seen for nearly thirty years and we have a very real chance of upsetting a team sitting in the top half of the Premiership. In doing so we could reach the FA Cup Quarter Finals for only the third time in the club's entire history, and the first time in 26 years!!! A win would put us just ONE match away from a Wembley Semi Final!!!!

And all this for just £15 per head plus travel!!! Come on!!!!!!!!!!

But I say again, its against STOKE.

There STOKE. Doesnt exactly send the pulses racing.

STOKE, STOKE, STOKE, STOKE, STOKE. Nope, no matter how many times I say it Im still flatlining.

Hardly glamourous and we'll probably be lose. Can't think WHY they're not flying off the shelf..

But if we had been drawn against Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal or Man City, we would be 100% guaranteed to lose. Yes it would be a nice day out (at a big soul-less quiet stadium) but we wouldn't have a chance of progressing. We might just have a chance in this one, and if we are going to get through the Quarter Finals of the FA Cup, then I for one want to be there to see it happen.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Should be a decent crowd.
Pricing is fair. 2 Adults + 2 kids will cost me £40 (the same as ONE adult for the Crawley game)
Its not THAT far.
Stoke fans generate a good atmosphere.
The actual game should be an interesting clash of styles.
We MIGHT win.
I've not been to the Britannia Stadium.

I'm IN.

On reflection I think this is a fair view, and it partially explains why I decided to go in the end. I'm glad we don't have the circus style build up and all the inevitable distractions that this would entail. We do have a glimmer of hope in this tie even though I fully expect to lose. I think this will prove to be an enjoyable day out after all.

Also it didn't feel right abandoning the team just because we are playing Stoke. We have to make that victory against Watford count for something and that means giving a good account of ourselves both on and off the pitch.

Exactly, and for people saying "it's only Stoke!". Take a look at our league!! It's full of unglamorous games. Stoke are a decent Premiership outfit these days.
