Perhaps the FA have a spare Video Ref to keep an eye on the scum?

Palace only been given 2000 tickets again then
From palace website
We’re surprised and disappointed that our FA Cup match against Brighton has been scheduled for a Monday evening.
We raised concerns about playing the league match between the two clubs at night, as there have been previous issues when we played evening games in the Championship, but felt we were presented with a no option scenario. Given the events that occurred, we assumed that this time what we considered to be good sense would prevail and the game would be scheduled as an early daytime kick off. We are also disappointed that our ticket allocation for the FA Cup match has again been restricted to 2,000 when we should be entitled to more than 4,600 tickets under normal FA Cup rules.
We completely understand the security concerns around this match and the safety of all supporters must be paramount. It’s for that very reason that we felt the best and most obvious solution, as is the case with most other big, highly-charged derby games, would have been a lunchtime kick-off, combined with a bigger ticket allocation to cater for the overwhelming demand from our supporters, many of whom will again be left disappointed. We were told that the incidents which took place at last month’s league match were caused, in part, by fans with tickets colluding with un-ticketed fans to force entry into the stadium.
While we understand there are issues with trains on the Sunday of the FA Cup third-round weekend we have offered to provide free coaches to negate this issue, also allowing supporters to be dropped and picked up from designated drop off and pick up points.
We strongly believe that the very small minority who misbehave and create disorder should be punished to the full extent of the law, thereby deterring others. Instead, it’s our view that the many decent and law-abiding supporters are being punished by being deprived of the opportunity to enjoy supporting their team.

You cannot really argue with the logic of that but whose decison was it to (a) Put it on Monday pm on TV (b)restrict their ticket allocation. I thought that the ticket arrangements had to be agreed between the 2 clubs.
They must have mutually agreed that it being shown on TV enables more to watch it so the need for 4500 tickets is less.
A total and utter joke. I'm with the scum on this one. Disgraceful decision.
How is it sensible? Because of the girls organising the game 3500 of theirs and 3500 of our if its a reply cant watch their team live now.
Disgraceful decision.
Is it PotG?
Thrifty non-licker
Poor from whoever made that decision. Should be 4,500.

Don't say it!!!!!
Rented an apartment just round the corner from a sports bar so it can be cold as it likes at night - I will be watching footie.
Need it to be milder in the day though
WTF !!!!!!!!!!! This would happen with them no matter what league we are in.
Don't be fooled their supports have the same distaste of us as we do them.

Must be a way of escorting fans to and from the stadium , should've a seperate entrance to Falmer station for aways then more specials could arrive in direct from London,Croydon, and avoid all the nonsense in Brighton itself.
Why not a Sat 12pm KO??

I don't think so. From the little I can gather they've given us little thought until we were promoted. But I could be wrong. Whatever, surely we've bigger fish to fry. This is our chance to make BHA a dynasty

Very harsh LE. I do agree a fair proportion of our fans are obsessed by CP. Including too many on here, including some who should know a lot better. But we're gunning for European places and a BHA dynasty now.
