Not sure if tickets can be purchased yet for the Luton game. Possibly on their website although I’m on clear on whether Brighton fans can purchase on there.

Nothing on the social media regarding the game against Stockport today, very hush hush. Possibly due to the backlash on social media after the 6-0 defeat against Sutton? Stockport's website still showing it as a game to be played today.

We lost 1-0...

I note: "The game was played behind closed doors at Brighton’s training ground, with live updates from the game not permitted, at the home side’s request." Perhaps A. Trialist is still very shy?

Thanks, and now the club has done their write up. No trialists but plenty of u18s involved.

Last note on the Stockport County friendly from yesterday - the match report on the Stockport County website shows they fielded a trialist in the first half. Reading their forum, it is an open secret that Ben Barclay will be joining them. He is out of contract at Accrington Stanley but has been offered a new deal there. Presumably the delay in Stockport announcing his signature is to do with the fact that he is entitled to another month's wage from his old club if he doesn't get fixed up immediately. I expect the Hatters will announce his signing on Aug 1 (or shortly thereafter):-

Molumby played yesterday. No idea where he has been and why he is now playing for the u23s but you do wonder if he has much of a future here. Seems a real shame. I guess he could’ve been injured/isolating/holidaying but you wonder why he is playing with them (presumably they’re in different bubbles?).

I don't think they can be in different bubbles as Furlong, Tsoungui, Richards and Tanimowo have all played for both the first team and the U-23s this pre-season.

I am surprised that Molumby didn't feature against Rangers; he also hasn't been seen in any of the training pics so far, so I guess there is a chance he has had a knock or has been behind in his fitness for some reason.

Is there a way of streaming the Luton game later?

No mention on Luton's or our social media about a stream. Also nothing on the usual free streaming sites so I'm guessing the answer is no.
