Apparently the FA are looking into replaying last Sundays match against Crystal Palace at the Amex stadium.
Apparently this is on the grounds that Ian Holloway (Palace manager) did not realize the importance of the fixture and would have approached the game differently had he known, the rescheduled date has yet to be fixed as it cannot take place if more then 1mm of rain has fell in the previous 10 days as this gives an unfair advantage to Brighton.
The FA have also imposed the following restictions:-
1) Brighton goalkeeper Tomas Kuszczak will not be allowed to play as he celebrates when the Albion score.
2) Leo Ulloa will not be allowed to play as he might bump into a Palace player when defending a corner.
3)A two yard exclusion zone to be set up around Wilfred Zaha as he is not allowed to be tackled.
4)Matthew Upson and Wayne Bridge to have their pockets sewn up to avoid players being kept in them.
The referee also has instructions to award 2 penalties to Crystal Palace and Brighton will have to withdraw a player after ten minutes.
Umbrellas will have to be provided for the away coaching staff.
The one good thing for Brighton is that their caterers have been advised not to supply chips in the South Stand as Palace fans will be bringing plenty on their shoulders.
