Yes I have, many a time. But the reason there is no atmosphere is because people cant be arsed to create one. No other reason. Why will that change at Falmer? Away games are different because people tend to be drunker.
and the main reason they 'can't be arsed' is because they've mostly been going there for 10 years, getting rained on 20 yards+ from the pitch and being unable to hear singing from more than 5 seats away unless it's 800 people in unison (it never is).

I don't expect Falmer will be a cauldron of noise but I don't see why we won't have an average level of home support.

Thanks Greens :(
It falls over my Birthday weekend, hopefully we'll get them on the Saturday

The FA website gives it as a 3 o'clock KO on Saturday 8th. January, which surprises me given our proximity. Pompey fans pouring into Brighton early, getting boozed up and looking for trouble, many without tickets I would have thought as well :eek:

Will we ask for the money up front from them for them to sell their tickets for the away end. May not have to as we all know how honurable they are so they will obviously pay us.:wanker:

If we win, it will be considered a victory for all those football teams who stuck by the bloody rules and have had to suffer for it. And it will also be the mark of when we will say "F*** off ITV meridian, we're the new boys of the south!"


If we lose, sh*t.

Er, no - we have to pay them - it's the cup.

You are of course correct after a few London Pride I had not taken into account the fact that their 45% of the receipts after expenses would be greater than the money they receive for the sale of tickets to the away end. I would hope the police maintain their stance on only allowing the away end and not the 15% as per FA rules.

Couldn't we offer them 10p to the pound of their gate receipt money?

Why? "You cant create an atmosphere without a roof" and all this bollocks? Absolute rubbish.

what ARE you talking about?

accoustics man, accoustics!

Withdean IS the problem.

Not saying Falmer will be a seeting cauldron of passion but we WILL be able to make noise. It's nigh on impossible at Withdean because of the accoustics - there are none.

Throw in being miles from the pitch and all the ridiculous little islands of 'stands' and you've got yourself the library.
