FA Cup: Fatboy Slim and Peter James among those cheering on Albion

People from all walks of life, from DJ Fatboy Slim to Green MP Caroline Lucas, sent messages of support ahead of the match against Manchester United tomorrow.

Brighton play their second FA Cup semi final in four years at Wembley against the Red Devils, almost 40 years since their historic cup final tie against the same side.

Hove DJ Fatboy Slim has a longstanding connection with the Albion and even unveiled their new home kit last summer at his beach festival.

He said: “Wembley, Wembley. It’s a great big town in London and they call it Wembley. Up the Albion.”

Hove and Portslade MP Peter Kyle said: "This is the third time that the Albion has been in the FA Cup semi final and I know it's going to be third time lucky. 

"I can't wait to be there at Wembley to cheer the Albion on and I'm predicting a 2-1 win. But I have just one thing to say, up the Albion."

Lizzie Deane, who became mayor of Brighton and Hove in May last year, sent her message of support in for the Seagulls.

She said: “I would like to wish you the best of luck in your match against Man U at Wembley.

“I know you can do it, the whole city of Brighton and Hove is behind you so I just want to wish you the very best of luck and sock it to them. You can do it.”

BBC Sussex presenter Allison Ferns said: “Seagulls. Come on boys, you can do it. We are so proud of you, now get us to that final.”

Peter James, author of bestselling Roy Grace crime novels, gave his support, as well as Kemptown MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle.
