Although Brighton are in need of a result, it'll be interesting what sort of team they put out.

Similar to the Amex game I should imagine. About half a dozen changes. They've played twice since they played us (while we've only played once) so he'll be inclined to rest some.

They’ve got to be pretty much brainless to tar us with anything regarding the attendance.
A wet Wednesday night when no one really cares if we go out and it’s on the most accessible tv channel in the country. 
Let them judge us by games that matter which show us having 25000 attendances.

I care if we go out. A winnable 5th round home game would see us through to the QF. With many Prem teams out.

That's how I see it, it's opened up nicely.

Brighton fan in peace. I'm working in Stoke during the week so getting the train to Wolverhampton and then Midland Metro down to The Hawthorns. Looks like I will need to get the 10pm metro back to Wolverhampton after, whats the chances of being able to get on this train after game? If its anything like the Amex we have to wait for three trains before we can get one.

Got a ticket and going at the moment but almost fighting a battle with myself withy the pros and cons of not going. The dire crowd is a real negative as I hate to see the place less than half full.
If I was local and didn't need time off work to battle through the rush hour traffic and it was a meaningful game (ie Forest next week) then no issue....BUT, we'll see !

Do you mean leave early in order to get on the train because it will be too crowded?

With an 8:05pm kick off you’re struggling to see the final whistle and get there in time.
