Bit greedy on here. It'll probably be a full house - reasonable allocation/gate receipts, though doubt it'll be on TV. More chance than if we'd have drawn Man City away. Would have hated Wigan away by comparison.

About the worst draw we could get

1. Not a big day out against a top team
2. Very little chance of beating a premier league team
3. Not going to be a big earner

5 out of the 8 ties wil be on tv.

Cant see West Brom vs Southampton being on tv or Sheffield Wednesday v Notts County/Swansea or Leicester v Sheffield United

Their new stadium is brilliant and Brighton is a nice place so anyone getting a ticket will have a great day out
That's the spirit. They are an example of a club that has gone through the mill and come out well. A good day out and irrespective of the outcome we've surpassed all expectations . Made me proud once again.

bit surprised at the negativity.. great day out (for those who get a ticket), and about as winnable as any other draw since they'll be half hearted about the cup. May be alone in being totally disinterested in some overhyped tie against a big team. Perhaps it's growing up in the nineties, to me we are not a club who should be excited by that.

So many negative comments...nothing you can do about it guys! Yes, we could've got more money elsewhere but it's not to be. From a progression point of view...well, they're not Rochdale but they're also not Man City so who knows.

I don't think it's a bad draw to be honest. Had it been one of the Manchester clubs or Chelski etc, the players might have had one eye on that instead of the league.

The league is still our priority...progression/money from the cups should be viewed as 'nice to haves' on top of our main priority.

Gutted that I'm in London that weekend with Mrs WM as it's only up the coast for me.

Tv wise 3 are nailed on with 2 manchester clubs and miwall rochdale vs spurs imo

4th and possible 5th would be between all prem wba vs soton leicestwr vs sheff utd ans brighton vs us.

Maybe they will take a punt on us but leicester match looka more likely

They had 14000 there for their third round game vs Palace. that was on tv.

Doubt this will be a sell out. but should hopefully be 20k plus if its Saturday 3pm

I'm just pleased we haven't got soemone like Man City away. A 10-0 pasting wouldn't have done the players confidence any good going back into the more important league games.

I don't think you need worry - we wouldn't have scored 10 and I think Man City's confidence would have recovered quickly enough to hold on to their lead at the top of the league.

Let's be honest, it's a better draw than Wigan, Huddersfield, Sheff Wed, Notts County/Swansea, Hull, Sheff U, Wigan or Millwall/Rochdale. Kind of on par with West Brom and Southampton. Only Leicester, Man C, Chelsea, Man U or Spurs would have definitely been better. Decent away day out for those who will travel down. And who knows, maybe we'll have another upset on our hands!

But deflated by the draw to be honest, 30,500 capacity so likely 4500 allocation if we desire.

What's the trains like to access Falmer?
