Having just watched the BBC London news ie 18.45 BBC 1 tonight they stated that the Brighton v Charlton game tomorrow is postponed. Nothing on the Brighton or Charlton website re this or on the BBC website. Can someone please confirm the state of affairs? THIS IS NOT A WIND UP! BUT JUST SEEN ON BBC NEWS TV.
We are now actually trying to book up a hotel in Brighton, but not of course if there is no game.
Hope someone knows what is going on and let all of us know!

    Having to travel 800 miles please I only need serious comments. Would be much obliged if somebody can confirm whether the game, at present, is on or off.

    My random theory:

    The fixture list no doubt originally showed this as a Tuesday 28th December fixture.

    Parky and Poyet between them decided to move the game back one day, so the BBC/Pools fixture list shows game postponed (until tomorrow)

    You often see this on the BBC fixture list, particularly when games are moved from Saturday to Sunday/Monday.

    Nobody knows for sure at the moment mate - but I think Oggy's theory above is probably what's put the cat amongst the pigeons.

    It get's it's critics, but our official website - or rather the people that update it - are pretty good so if it says it's still on on there than that's all you can go by really. Good luck - I'm sure it'll all be fine, well, until the game starts anyway!

    Yeah, but it was Assad Ahmed mate - geezer doesn't know what he's saying half the time.

    My advice: go ahead with you plans, but check the internet later tonight to see what our website says - and also Brighton's and the BBC's . I reckon it's still on.

    I notice that they have not replied to the posting re Charlton,

    I can confirm my wife heard it at 6 o'clock.

    See what happens when I leave the place!, as wrong as a Durso pitch inspection!......

    I blame 'Emma' myself......

    I will give the sports desk a ring..........

    I would advise anyone going to the game to check with CAFC.

    I am sure the Official CAFC site would\will have an update by Matt.

    No one picking up at BBC London, at least the sports desk, left a message for the duty officer.

    As the website states......
    After three frustrating postponements in December, Charlton will be hoping their last fixture of the month gets the go-ahead when the Addicks travel to league leaders Brighton & Hove Albion on Wednesday night (7.45pm).

    One could argue that this is the last thing that Charlton need after the boxing day fiasco!
