[Football] The FA Cup Draw: Brighton & Hove Albion vs Arsenal

[Motogull]

Pleased with that draw. Its quite a good draw overall too. Any game could be televised.

I reckon Dunk would be a good fit at Arsenal. Wenger will get a good look.

What?

it was mentioned this weekend on Football Focus - hence why there are so many Sunday matches this year in the Cup. So we may not get TV and still be a Sunday

Do you think ?

Does anyone know if last seasons gold membership continue into this season?

No, we got a new booking system in the summer, but we were supposed to have been able to get gold membership in December.
All STs are silver members automatically so will get a few days to book their own seats when the date & time has Benno agreed.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

I'm new to the whole season ticket thing this season. Am I right in thinking that if you've got a season ticket you get the opportunity to buy your seat for cup games before they go on sale to anyone else? Or do I need a special kind of membership or something? Any advice appreciated!

This is where the expense of the 1901 club pays off....free ticket and programme for all cup games at the Amex.

Also Derby top of Championship, Premier bound, against Scunthorpe or Chesterfield and a possible upset.

that really would be dull. no chance.

To us it may seem so but Derby have a good following against a lower rated side who could cause an upset, which is what TV look for.

Fair enough, I didn't see that. In that case we will choose Saturday for transport reasons.

Haven't read the thread at all, but just for luck and in case anyone hasn't already said it;

were loose

I thought we had tightened up in recent weeks and were no longer loose at the back. Still those extra o's get everywhere don't they.

For Prem teams in the 3rd round, as they all had games on New Years Day.

It'll be Sunday. I am flying abroad for work at Lunchtime, raging bloody certainty!

Sorry, it was meant in response to HB&B's post, "Does he think"?

It got lost in the quoting, if you can follow this.

if it was a choice between brighton and arsenal or derby and chesterfield/scunthorpe, i would suggest our game would provide a bigger combined following and more chance of an upset

we would say that but it is debatable.

A ballet? Presumably 'The Nutcracker' if Giroud gets shirty and starts with the headbutts .

You should get in with a tenor. Just don't come the tosca alwight.

Sits back smugly with contented smile on face, knowing that paying a high price for your seat enables you to get your seat "free" for the cup game and a match programme as well.

Whereas us bottom feeders have to log on and book yes book our st seats. Oh the thought of it.
