Albion are back in action at the Amex tomorrow and attention returns to the Championship, as Birmingham City visit...
Kick-off is at 3pm and new striker Jonathan Obika could make his debut in front of the Albion faithful, after signing from Spurs earlier in the week.
Fans can arrive nice and early to make the most of the day, with the Seven Stars sports bar and Dick’s Bar opening up at 11.30am, then staying open until 8pm.
Both bars will be serving a range of food and beverages, while showing coverage of the Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds United Championship game from 12.15pm, and the Hull City v Chelsea game from 12.45pm. Concourses will be open from 1pm.
Post-match, the Manchester United v Swansea City game will be on TVs from 5.30pm – along with our usual post-match highlights of the game.
Tickets for the game are still available and the club’s online print-at-home feature is the easiest, and cheapest, way to buy. Click here to buy online. Supporters can buy tickets in person on the day from the stadium ticket office and from the mobile retail unit situated outside of Brighton train station.
All the latest team news, travel details and any further match information is 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.
NB: Supporters who bought tickets online and opted to print at home are reminded they must print the pdf attachment on their confirmation email which has a ticket barcode. Failure to print the ‘print-at-home’ ticket will incur a £1.50 per ticket reprint fee, which will be charged at the ticket office.
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 postal cut-off two working days ahead of the game, it is available for £13.
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 1pm, we strongly advise you to use the Brighton Racecourse site (postcode BN2 9XZ), where we have excellent capacity and a swift service.
Please note that there will be a minor change to disabled parking at the University car Park; all those who regularly use this car park will be directed to an adjacent car park for this game.

In the Birmingham City edition of Seagull Matthew Upson looks back at a year in Albion colours and sets the side a challenge for the remainder of the campaign.

Alan Mullery remembers the times he played against the late, great Eusebio and Andrew Crofts comments on being the exception to the old adage, 'you should never go back'...
