No you're correct i don't understand the clubs position , rather than trying to promote the game in a positive way they have basically said meh ! east or west like it or lump it , so in my eyes yes they have devalued it , brilliant promotional strategy . I agree with you you can't please everybody but not opening the northstand for this makes no sense at all , financial or otherwise , and just to clear something up this is not about ME sitting in the seat i want to sit in i'm not a season ticket holder so i move around the stadium from game to game all the time , it's purely my point of view , right or wrong .

Don't the Albion have to give MK Dons 45% of the gate receipts? If it sold out would it cost the club more to put the game on than a league game ?
In will leave it late to decide. If my normal ticket was on sale, I might already have bought it.
Probably go. Pity Lualua will be missing. That might have made the difference.
(iii) In matches played in the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Rounds of the Competition
Proper, the net gate receipts of each match shall be divided as follows:
45% to each Club competing in the match.
10% to the Pool.

Why will Lualua be missing?
Fourth game of his suspension?

I thought Kaz was back from suspension for the FA cup game?
He is.
Banned for the next 2 'JPT' rounds, and for 4 first team fixtures (Birmingham, QPR, Cardiff and Fulham)
My mistake. Ban did not really make all that much difference.

C'mon the Albion!
Think the thread needs a poll, to see if numbers going could be gaged, so the club could plan accordingly

To be honest, up until the last couple of years, I must have been to hundreds of away game in the 44 years I have been supporting brighton. In the 70's and 80's, I had almost full seasons home and away and helping out with the junior seagulls managed to miss only a couple of games when we were at gillingham. I used to go with my daughter and brother in law, but as she went to Uni, I found that I didn't really have people to go with. Certainly when moving to the Amex, apart from Woodingdean Seagull( the very much missed tony langridge) and mates from work, I didn't really have anyone to go with and so interest waned. Playing golf every Saturday morning with new found mates, meant that getting to home games can be tricky if we have matches against other golf clubs.
I don't think you are being curt at all. I make my own way to the ground and park in the virgin club ( and normally use the pool or cafe before making my way over to the ground) and have done since the Amex opened, so I don't use the travel subsidy and don't expect to be " chauffeured" by the club at all and have never use daily the transport option. I do not expect the club to be remotely interested in my opinion and would not offer it to them. I know people who use the transport option and have extremely good experiences.
Yes you are right..over the years my interest has waned, but I am as passionate about the club as the poor sods who are in earshot of me in the northstand, however these days they are not the be and end all and as I said earlier, if we went up that would be fantastic as I have only seen us in the top division for the 4/5 years we were there (I only missed 8 away games in that time) and with Rory and Ernest used to go overseas when we had tours....I recall a few hairy times in Belgium!
So I know this sounds sanctimonious twaddle, but hopefully that explains where I am coming from and I really do think that if the north stand was open, I would have gone along again to see mates. I am not sure sitting in another part of the ground not knowing anyone ( like the middlesboro beam back is much fun really)

Parking, Ticket for me and My Boy comes to £30 seems expensive, not sure as so close to Xmass. Shame there is no way to run park and ride. I'd happily pay up to £5 for it.

Does anyone know why/if we can't use Brighton and Hove Albion ticket gift vouchers for this fixture online? I could use one for a normal league fixture by redeeming it online, but when I go to it for the FA Cup game it doesn't give me the option too?!

Not seen such Bravery!
It seems the hope is for Kayal to feature, but it'll be too soon for Rosenior.
