Crystal Palace complain over FA Cup kick-off time

Crystal Palace are "surprised and disappointed" that the club's FA Cup third-round tie at Brighton has been scheduled to kick off at 7:45pm on Monday January 8 after being selected for live television coverage.

The recent Premier League fixture between the two rivals on Tuesday November 28 was marred by crowd trouble as some fans without tickets tried to force their way into the Amex Stadium. There were also disturbances at Brighton railway station.
