Eastern Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 53 minutes ago, Earlsfieldowl said: Yes I can imagine Worthing - how far is the Amex? ..cant be much more than 20 mins I live in Worthing. I have been to Brighton’s ground a few times. The 1-0 win when Giles Coke got the winner. All the other times have been in the home end as a neutral and I really do know a team with a poorer atmosphere. The average fan is late 40s, knows one chant and could bore Ned Flanders to death. Stadium has comfortable seats, but feels like a lego set. There is nothing I really like about Brighton. They’ve done well with a wealthy backer, but they, like Bournemouth and the other minnows, won’t be top flight forever. And once they are down, they’ll not be back anytime soon.

sonofbert2 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Brighton is my most favourite seaside town in the UK. Pity it’s full ofcunts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Unless you’re one of the following 3 teams, it’s one of the worst overall draws you’ll ever see... in terms of travelling and irrelevant match ups. AFC Fylde Leeds United Gillingham ... maybe Nottingham Forest who go to Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it’s a flipping nightmare draw as my partner’s family are Brighton season ticket holders. And yes her Dad looks a bit like Ned Flanders without a tash. So the jokes have started already at my expense, and the Christmas and new year holiday will be fun.. if ever I needed Wednesday to win a game it’s this one!

room0035 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Why are all of the Fa cup games kicking off at 3.01pm - let me guess some prat at the tv company thought of it as a marketing gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

31Dec1966 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 We seem to have had decades of rubbish draws. During our cash strapped times we never got a money spinner like Anfield or Old Trafford. Only the Arsenal tie sticks out. We usually get a boring team away making no money and losing, or a lower league team who pull out all the stops to beat us in front of 5000. Meanwhile United get, what turn out to be more or less byes, or big clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owlZfan84 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Unless you are a local Wednesdayite in the area, I can't see why any fan would take the trip down there for this one. Fair play to those who do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopevalleyowl Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Looks like there’s some right disruption on trains that weekend from Sheffield and Donny down to London and back as well, fair play to all that travel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it’s landed there rather than built. I agree it’s no stroll but it’s not in the Outer Hebrides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
