FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

[Jung the foreman]

I know I'm jumping the gun, but is the final usually a teatime kick off these days?

According to the box park website it's portsmouth who have this for the checkatrade so think it will be Brighton for the semi

That’s a pity as it seems to have been changed then. I looked at a Sunderland forum a couple of weeks ago and the official info was they had been allocated Boxpark despite being on the East side. As I said there are other factors involved so just living in hope really.

Were any other Bluemooners at the old Goldstone Ground in 1983, when Brighton hosted City in the FA Cup? We got pasted 4-0, and John Bond said "I can go no farther with this side", and resigned shortly after. The disastrous John Benson took over and we went down after the Luton game (sodding David Pleat).
I remember it well, as Peter Swales gave me a lift from Gatwick airport to the ground in the City directors' minibus. (I've never heard so much ill-informed football chat)
We were abysmal that day. A miserable journey home.
Happy days. Not.

Unfortunately, yes.
And the other 4-0 pasting in the pissing rain, in the open end. Thank you god!

Wasn't the 4-0 FA Cup defeat pre-banana days? Think we won there in our 1988-89 promotion season at the height of the banana craze though
