Wasn't it the goalkeeping coach? I can't even remember who he was fighting with.

It was but also I can't remember who with but it was a nasty incident and the player (sic) had to be pulled off him. I think the coach kicked the ball at him.

Are they seriously going to wave 6000 flags for a league game, if this was a crunch game in April maybe.
A lot of games still to be played in a very unpredictable league.
Except us of course we are very predictable.

Damn right .There is a lot of talk of how good our home support is and rightly so but we should sell out our allocation against our major rivals considering our league position.

Well Derby are most certainly one of our major rivals, although far from the only one. I'd put Middlesboro, Hull, and probably Burnley, in the same bracket at the moment, although that may possibly change as the season progresses.

I'm going to this one, really hope we do take over 1000 at least. It is my 18th Birthday too so hoping for a decent game!

True but it's easier to get to Derby than the other teams you mention.

Why not ? Good idea I think. If they think it'll help generate a noisy and lively atmosphere for them. I like flags at football. Maybe Albion should do it more often.

reading their forum they seem to be the only fans this season who are giving us deserved respect

Bought my ticket this morning. Hopefully we take good numbers as it's a massive game!

Our away support isn't great (it used to be better in terms of numbers for sure), but it isn't 'piss poor' either. Also worth noting we have a fair bit further to travel than most clubs..

I'm missing the works Christmas do for this one, got a bit messy last year so not to disappointed. Would like to think we'd take at least 1200. QPR away on Tuesday may have a bearing on numbers as well.

We have more miles to travel than any other Championship club this season.

And our players not fighting with the coaching staff during the warm up may help

Bloody hell, I'd forgotten about that.

That was bizarre.

Wasn't it the goalkeeping coach? I can't even remember who he was fighting with.

It was but also I can't remember who with but it was a nasty incident and the player (sic) had to be pulled off him. I think the coach kicked the ball at him.

The player was Keith Andrews - Andrews starting a fight with keeping coach?

The best thing is that we'll be above them no matter what at the final whistle.

And we can hope Birmingham take a point at least at Middlesbrough.

Derby have conceded 4 goals in their last ten matches & only six at home all season I think. They are not used to going behind or conceding at home. Obvious thing to say but first goal scored is crucial. I hope we take the game to them & don't go out too defensive. I'd take a 1-1 all day.

Looking forward to this - always a good away day & they make a bit of noise.

How many Brighton fans are Midlands based I think we are building more ex pats / ex Sussex or fans with connection to Sussex we need to build these groups. They are many fans around the UK which away games are nearer. Who going to Derby that doesn't come from Sussex.
