So why does the match centre on the BHA website not include the Albion lineup? Can see the Derby one but when clicking on the Albion one nothing is shown!

At what stage will a home tie be likely to be played at the Amex? I’d fancy this... did the Fulham one at Withdean before - actually it was Chelsea I think...

The intent of the competition is that all ties are played at the ground of the first team. I have no idea why the 3rd round tie against Leicester City wasn't staged at the Amex - previous home 3rd round ties in the competition have been.

Yes Chelsea, total cock-up on turnstiles and paying cash

Really good result. Hopefully a home draw at the Broadfield stadium next.

I was there. Very amusing . Decided at last minute to go thinking would park in car park and couldnt get near. I think about 4/5000 turned up and got in free. as no staff etc. Knight got people to go round with buckets collecting gate money club had missed out on. A test for AC Gull but could he tell us what round that was and what was our team

I think it'd be good to play a 12.30 KO U18's game, when we have a 3 p.m. EPL game, yes I know they'd have to use a different area for changing etc but that's fine, it'd be good for the fans to get a chance to cheer them on and some experience for the lads.

They sort of already do this. U18s usually play on Saturday lunchtimes... but at Lancing.

Indeed, just thinking move this once or twice a season to The Amex, giving the age group a little exposure and the fans, in the latter part of the game, would build for some bigger crowd experience?

I'm not sure if it is explicit in the actual competition rules, but it is very much the expectation, that ties in the FAY Cup be held at the clubs' main stadia.

Looking through the ties in this current round, it is disappointing to see that almost half are not adhering to it (and a shame that in the 3rd round, we were one of them).
