Four of the sixteen were actually born in Sussex (with the caveat that I don't know where Haydon Roberts was born).
Of the other twelve, four were born in either Surrey or Kent and each has been in the academy for at least six seasons.
Then we had a Londoner, a lad from Bedfordshire, a Pole, a Swede, a Scot and lads from Switzerland and Northern Ireland.

I don't really know the reason as nobody from the club has ever really said why other than some spiel about timings of other games being on at the same time , since then that has been proved as absolute hogwash considering either every other club are blatantly breaking the rules or those rules simply don't exist , granted Manchester Utd have their own very successful TV channel so i guess it's up to them what they show whenever they like but we all know it isn't just Man Utd that provide decent highlights / live games of their U23/18s squads , the hush hush approach the club seem to have about coverage of the games is frankly baffling , i didn't even realise this game was even on until i saw the thread , the Academy have pretty much improved on the same level as the first team which is a fantastic achievement in it's own right and i'm sure more people would be interested in the youngsters if the club themselves actually promoted them a bit more , i'm not sure my views on this can be considered a actual moan up as it just seems a obvious thing for the club to do but as you say , i guess the overriding factor will be a financial one .
Totally agree with the sentiment of your post. Pretty sure Paul Barber has said at some event last year the reason is it wasn't economically viable or some such wording. Which means they consider running it at a loss not worth their while. Which is a pity given the cost is peanuts compared to the budget of the club and the potential PR value of it

Ayo Tanimowo, has penned a fresh contract with Brighton & Hove.
The 17-year-old right-back, who joined The Seagulls from Norwich City last summer, has agreed a three-year professional contract which will be activated at the end of this season.

Date for the 5th round tie, against Everton at Goodison Park, confirmed as Tuesday February 12th with a 7pm kick-off.
I was there 19 years ago when Peter Clarke scored the only goal (a penalty) in the 4th round - Penalty ends Albion's Youth Cup run
That lad didn't do too bad for himself, did he? Still playing (for Oldham) with over 750 first team appearances for various clubs.

Are you sure it's at Goodison? It's only the last 16, so I'm rather surprised at that.
That would be a Swiss and an Ulsterman (or Ulsterboy
)

Yes, I'm absolutely certain.
Haydon Roberts. Hove Park school's U15 got to a national cup final couple years back.
Good man.
Was he CAPTAIN, and TOP SCORER for the Hove Park sixth form side though? Eh? Well?
You'd have to be pretty special to have THAT feather in your cap
