Oscar Garcia’s side are in action at the Amex for the second game in five days tomorrow evening when they host Nottingham Forest at the later time of 5.30pm.
Despite the later kick-off, Albion fans can get to the American Express Community Stadium early to watch the day’s early live games on the TVs in Dick’s Bar, and then we will be staying open later to show Real Madrid and Barcelona on the North Stand concourse TVs and in Dick’s Bar post-match. Dick’s Bar will open at 12.30pm and the concourses will open at 3.30pm. Dick’s Bar and the North Stand concourse will be closing at 10.30pm, so enjoy a full day at the Amex.
All the latest team news, travel details and any further match information will be available at www.seagulls.co.uk, on our official Facebook page and via the club's official Twitter feed @OfficialBHAFC in the build-up to the game. Plus check out our YouTube channel for free post-match interviews and highlights, if you haven’t already.
This game will attract the biggest attendance of the season so far, with around 28,000 expected. However, tickets are still available and the club’s print-at-home process is once again in place, so it's easier than ever to buy a ticket online. Click here to buy online.
Travel Guide……Parking Available
Car parking is available at the Bridge Car Park, just a few minutes' walk from the Amex, priced £15 on the day. Remember, if parking is booked online or via the ticket office, in advance of our 4pm Wednesday postal cut-off, it is available for £13. For midweek matches, cut-off is the preceding Friday at 4pm.
You can also book travel via our travel partners Seagull Travel, who pick up from points in all major Sussex towns – and even further afield.
Alternatively, our full travel service is in operation for the match, with the trains, buses and park-and-ride services included in the match-ticket package. For park-and-ride customers who will be arriving after 4pm, we strongly advise you to use the Brighton Racecourse site (postcode BN2 9XZ), where we have excellent capacity and a swift service.
Food and Drink
Tomorrow’s special pie will once again be the Chilli pie, and this will be available in all concourse kiosks. There are a limited number of the Chilli pies available so get to the concourse early to avoid disappointment. Elsewhere, we have the new Kids’ Meal Deal Boxes available from the Family Stand, in the East Stand lower.
Salt beef and pulled pork baps will again be available from the centre kiosk in the North Stand and chips will be available in the centre kiosks in the West lower, East lower and North Stand.
The guest ale for this fixture is Equinox of Everards, which will be available from the North 3 and West lower 1 kiosks, while Guinness will once again be available in the West lower concourse as per last season, from a mobile unit.
Get Your Copy of Seagull
In the Nottingham Forest edition of Seagull Ashley Barnes looks to get back on the goal trail, while loanee Craig Conway reveals his life in pictures. Head scout Mervyn Day gives an insight into the club's scouting system and Mullers is back; he reminisces about his run-ins with Brian Clough. Elsewhere, Jake Forster-Caskey recalls his school days and Craig Mackail-Smith remembers the day he took on the world champions.
Matchday Retail
The Seagulls Superstore once again has two Matchday Priority products on offer tomorrow evening. Winter is feeling closer so we have a range of Albion hats and gloves which will be available to you at a special matchday price of £5. These will be available in the Superstore before and after the game. They will also be on sale from the mobile retail units outside the North Stand, East Stand and West Stand. If you’re travelling by train, look out for our quick and easy wardrobe-style kiosks on the approach from Falmer train station.
Once again we will have the new range of hooded tops and sweatshirts available in store, perfect for evening games at the Amex.
All retail units around the stadium will be open right up until kick-off and again immediately after the match. And don’t forget; to beat the queues, e-cash top-up and e-cash payment facilities are available at the North, East and West mobile stores.
Please note that the Seagulls Store in Queens Road, Brighton, will be open between 9.30am and 5.30pm tomorrow, while the Seagulls Superstore at the Amex will open from 9am until kick-off and then will reopen immediately after the game until 8.45pm.
