Latest Sport highlights some of the Albion’s key fixtures to get yourself along to next season
• Brighton v Walsall 3pm Saturday 8 August
Well it’s about time the Albion kicked off a season at home with the boys looking for revenge after the humiliating 0-1 home loss against Walsall’s nine men in this fixture last season.
• Millwall v Brighton 7.45pm Friday 28 August
This game has been moved forward a day to the Friday evening after a police request. Let’s hope the Albion can steal the points again after Adam Virgo’s header clinched it for the Albion last season.
• Yeovil v Brighton 3pm Saturday 10 October
Russell Slade revisits his old team hoping for a second win at Yeovil since becoming Albion manager.
• Southampton v Brighton 3pm Saturday 14 November
The first game in a sequence the Albion will face against the big guns with this trip along the coast to former Premiership contenders.
• Brighton v Leeds 3pm Saturday 21 November
Leeds will be one of the bookies‘ favourites to win promotion, for the third year in a row! Let’s hope the Albion will be up there too.

Then it‘s off to the East Country to play yet another fallen star from the Premiership.
• Brighton v Charlton 7.45pm Tuesday 1 December

There’s nothing like a decent home Boxing Day fixture to wash down all those dry turkey sandwiches, especially against one of the Albion’s historic rivals.
• Brighton v Millwall 3pm Saturday 30 January
The 4-1 Albion victory in this fixture last year was their best of all last season. Let’s hope they can see out 2009 with a repeat performance.

There’s nothing like playing in the bigger stadiums to help raise players‘ spirits. And they don’t get much bigger than Elland Road in League One.

It doesn’t get sweeter than a plumb home tie against the manager’s former team on the last day of the season. What a stage for a grand finale? You couldn’t have made it up.
