Having thought about it, I reckon there's a slim chance we could end up on tv despite it not seeming like a great draw:

- We've already put out 2 higher division teams including a Prem team, so there's potential for an upset
- We have history in the competition so they can waffle on about '87 for hours
- They can highlight how far we've fallen/the owners etc and look like they're doing something to raise awareness
- We tend to take a big following so the atmosphere should be decent

Having said that, I'm probably way off the mark and it'll just be all the usual games including the big prem teams...

I'm happy with the draw. Brighton have the same amount of points as Stoke. They have only won 5 league games out of 24 in the league.

I will be satisfied if we don't get hammered. We are a division 4 side. We have knocked out a Prem side. We have reached the last 16. More than we expected. If we manage a draw it will be fun in the replay and I would fancy our chances.

What we're the odds of us beating Stoke? What will the odds be of us beating Brighton? You put the maths together and it means we're even less likely to win.
If the bookies were always right they would be skint. They are in a relegation battle. That is where their priorities will be. It will be 11 v 11. We play better these days against the better sides.

We could beat them.

We beat stoke and they are on the same points. So anything is possible

They are on a horrible run in the prem. Haven't won in a while

Was initially underwhelmed- however I’m now quite excited! One win away from the quarters! Against a team that will not care about this game - SBA out in force - it COULD happen!

Many were underwhelmed when we got Stoke.

Many were underwhelmed when we got MK Franchise.

Many are underwhelmed now we have Brighton.

I look forward to getting a draw in the QF that is underwhelming.

Expecting a shed load of homosexual chants and I bet Brighton fans will never ever have heard them before.

No doubt they’ll be outrage on here when a 15 year old lad in a stone island jumper on the first row shouts ‘who’s the gay boy in the pink’ at a married, hetrosexual man, in a red polo shirt.

....and no doubt they’ll be endless posters defending him saying it’s because of anger towards sisu/we haven’t had a top 6 finish in 46 years/we’re in League 2. Pusb

I think it might be on tv.

Would be typical to put it on a Friday.

I sincerely hope no-one shouts 'Who's the gay boy in the pink,' but I am not holding my breath.

VW Camper all prepared for a few days on the South Coast.
Just gotta convince the Mrs that it's ideal for going away for our 42nd wedding Anniversary (14th Feb)
Ideas ?

Which version have you got? I've always wanted a T2 split screen version in sky blue and white.

So you’d rather have drawn Man City than Wigan?

The wifes cousin is a Brighton season ticket holder so looks like i will be in the home end again.
