... without changing trains from Brighton.

At present (from memory), you'd need to change trains to go to any away match (from Brighton) except Portsmouth, Southampton, Luton Town and - at a push - Bristol City. Of course, I'm talking about places within reasonable walking distances from station to ground. I'm sure someone could add to that list, and it's not counting 'specials'.

From May 2018, the Thameslink expansion means you can catch a train from Brighton, and not have change if you wanted to go to Arsenal, Stevenage, Cambridge United and Peterborough United.

But this is GTR we're talking about here. Anything can happen.

Crawley - if you walked from Three Bridges.

Borehamwood is also doable on Thameslink i think. (Borehamwood and Elstree station) They are still within a shout of being promoted (again) to the Football League for next season.

Based on that, the Peterborough ones are going to Horsham not Brighton

I really do not like those trains. Basically overgrown tube trains, not ideal for lengthy journeys. Plenty of room to stand, but less seating with restrictive legroom for anyone taller than about 5ft11.

Walkable from Filton Abbey Wood.

And Bristol Parkway, which is also a stop on the Brighton -> Cardiff direct train.

So, also: Cardiff.

I must say, travelling to Albion away games from Bristol was generally a far easier and nicer experience than travelling from Sussex and having to traverse London.

... which you can't get to without changing trains.

Yes you can.
