Wilkins: We Need You!

By Paul Camillin |
Dean Wilkins is urging fans to help his team maintain their excellent run of home form against Leyton Orient this weekend (kick-off 3pm), as the Seagulls look to extend their unbeaten League run at Withdean to seven games.
It's over two months since Albion lost at home in League One. They last lost at home to Nottingham Forest in early December, but the Albion boss knows his side face as tough a test as any against promotion-chasing Orient on Saturday.
"It will be very difficult because they have been up around the top of the league all season," he told Seagulls World.
"We know from experience that in the live game on Sky, in the first half they caused us a lot of problems.
"But our second half performance that day was terrific, and if we can produce that kind of form for 90 minutes on Saturday we're in for a good day."
Albion have already sold well over 5000 tickets for the game, and with Orient expecting to bring a decent away support it should make for a good atmosphere inside the stadium.
Tickets are still available in all areas of the ground online, via the Ticketline and in person at the Ticket Office in Queen's Road.
Wilkins has also thanked fans for their continued support during a run of five successive matches at home. "I would like to place on record my thanks to those who have attended the games, but especially those who will be at all five.
"Much has been made of the attendances at Withdean, but to attend five matches in a row at home is a real commitment for any fans. That level of support is superb; on behalf of all at our club, thank you."
Meanwhile, Albion have already sold out the family stand for the home game with Swindon Town on Saturday 22nd March - but fans can take advantage of the special family prices and extremely low group rates for this match and others.
For Swindon, the family area will be extended into the east stand; however family tickets are still available for Saturday's game and the match with Doncaster Rovers on Saturday 15th March.
