We're All Going To Brighton

Brighton promoted back to the Championship
Coventry City supporters can look forward to a trip to the seaside next season when Brighton and Hove Albion booked their place in the Championship for next season.

Brighton who will be in a new stadium at Falmer next season ,tonight twice came from behind to beat Dagenham & Redbridge 4-3 and secure a return to the division they departed five years ago.

As to who will be joining them in the Championship, that is still very much open with Southampton, Huddersfield, Peterborough, MK Dons, Rochdale, Bournemouth and Leyton Orient all within a shout of automatic promotion or a play-off place

Good luck to them too. A club thta's been through a lot and had real problems getting their ground. Faced extinction and seen some tough times, always a decent family club. Be a nice new place to visit too.

Check trhe new ground out on the web, it looks wicked.....countdown2falmer we should make this one our "fans" game like Alice did at ours!! seaside footie, can't beat it for an away day!!

Agreed when the fixture list come's out we should look for "Brighton away" and organise a fan's day out and try to pack out their away end!

smileycov · Apr 13, 2011

i believe the capacity is 22,000. Do clubs still need to give a certain % over to away fans i wonder? 3-4k would be quality!!

rob9872 · Apr 13, 2011

Are we all wearing pink?

rob9872 · Apr 13, 2011

Actualy I know it's camp but that would look really good. Maybe even get some sponsorship for a charity

Jimthor · Apr 13, 2011

I really hope we play them away in the summer, will be a great day out! My mate was saying imagine if Blackpool came back down too and we bot both Brighton and Blackpool away in the summer, that'd be top!

I think it's 10% for league matches and 15% for cup games.

Pigeon · Apr 13, 2011

Would be great to do a big fans day out next season!

rob9872 · Apr 13, 2011

Since my post I've been thinking about this 'Pink' thing. If we could co-ordinate it right, then we could get some real positive press out of this one and aid a good cause.

It would be a laugh because Brighton are really touchy about their 'gay-boy' tag, but if we all did it for something like breast cancer (the pink charity) then we could get some positive press for the club and all have a good day to boot.

smileycov · Apr 13, 2011

As long as it doesnt include, leather chaps with the arse cut out!!!

I was thinking of a pink shirt or scarf, but if you're comfortable with your own sexuality then you go for it mate

Good shout Rob, Im game. Get it in the cov telegraph would be a great day.

SkyBluesAndy · Apr 13, 2011

We will probably get them away on a wet tuesday night in November

I'd happily pick up a cheap pink t-shirt for that! I've got a pink headband and sweatbands left over from my 5-a-side kit too ;p

Duno how exactly you'd make it for charity tho!

The Reverend Skyblue · Apr 13, 2011

Just think if Blackpool come down and with Brighton and maybe Bouremouth coming up through play-offs, and we get all these away in the last month of the season,then many away skybluers will have one heck of a suntan.

rob9872 · Apr 13, 2011

Just get sponsorship liek the ladies do for their walk/run day. Obviously there would be an element of trust and ity would need someone to co-ordinate, but it woudl be nice to get one of those big cheques to presnt on the pitch. I'm sure we could get the directors to round up/match what's raised. We'll wait for the fixture list but I'd be happy to get involved if tehy wanted my input.

smileycov · Apr 13, 2011

loving the idea just thinking about it!! but as andy say's we defo get em midweek in november haha!!

Can't be any worse than their athletics ground.

Can remember going down for the Cup game in early January a few years and it being fucking freezing and to round it all off I was taking a piss when Macca scored the only goal early in the 2nd half.

To this day I still haven't seen that goal.

smileycov · Apr 13, 2011

Ha, yea i went just after we had been relegated....midweek and it was 0 - 0.......that temporary stand was a death trap!!

Coventry La La La · Apr 13, 2011

Some great suggestion's on this thread hopefully once the fixture list come's out we can organize the whole event and pull it off.

Nonleagueherewecome · Apr 13, 2011

They said on The Football League Show this week that Brighton have already sold 16,000 season tickets for next season! That's pretty scary..I guess that makes them a much bigger club than us now.

smileycov · Apr 13, 2011

If you had seen the withdean, you would want to guarantee a seat aswell!!

And they've sold 16,000 season tickets. ...Nonleagueherewecome beat me to it.

CovKingChris · Apr 13, 2011

Can't wait for this tie next season. Should be a good 2 days/ weekend away (that's if the weathers good). The sky blue, or pink as has been suggested, should floor brighton pier.

Covstu · Apr 14, 2011

Whats the betting that this game will be on a tuesday night??

matesx · Apr 14, 2011

we went down to the Withdean about 5 years ago - 2.2 draw as i recall

boiling hot sunny day

went into Brighton centre after, got cheap B&B - great day/night out on the lash

after all the gay stereo typing i was expecting it to be camp :slap:as fuck but it wasnt at all.

Greetings. Brighton fan here, still buzzing.

I think the idea of a co-ordinated charity 'pink day' at the new stadium is absolutely brilliant. One thing we are NOT is touchy about our 'gay' status, and if it could be sorted, I see no reason why we couldn't join in.

Just as a catch-up...

The away end allocation is a smite over 2,500 (about 3,300 for Cup matches).

The away end concourse is to be decorated / illuminated in the colours of the away team (sky blue in your case obviously), together with imagery of past heroes of that club (Ernie Hunt, Keith Houchen etc). However, if you're organising a pink day...

For real ale drinkers, as well as the gassy lager (no, ta), two local brews (Harvey's, Dark Star) will be on sale at the ground, plus an ale from the area where the away team is visiting.

All seats are padded - standard seats are the same spec as the luxury seats at the Olympic stadium. Well, this is Brighton...

Oh, and we definitely WON'T be having that god-awful music after scoring a goal.

Is this football as we know it...? That's another debate. Whatever, looking forward to seeing you down here next season.

Cheers, Al

Nick · Apr 14, 2011

Bloody hell, are they going to change the seat colours etc for every game?

It sounds very welcoming

smileycov · Apr 14, 2011

Jes!!! can i get any more excited about this match haha!! we haven't even wrapped this season up yet, i did say at the start of all this THAT STADIUM LOOKS WICKED

matesx · Apr 14, 2011

ta mate you seem very well informed

are you promotions manager at BFC?

TLO · Apr 14, 2011

No. Not the seats, the lighting and hues in the concourse.
