Albion begin their Leasing.com Trophy campaign tonight.

There are two Albion games to look out for this week.

 

Tuesday 3rd September: AFC Wimbledon v Albion, kick-off 7.30pm

Albion begin their Leasing.com Trophy campaign against AFC Wimbledon at Kingsmeadow on Tuesday.

It is the first of three group stage fixtures for Simon Rusk’s side, who also face trips to Leyton Orient and Southend United.

The Seagulls narrowly missed on a place in the knockout stages of the competition in 2018/19 after being placed in a group alongside Luton Town, Peterborough United and Milton Keynes Dons.

Tickets will be available on the gate for the match, with prices set at £10 for adults (including concessions) and £5 for under-18s.
