Brighton & HA pack their bags to visit Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Seagulls will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The previous match played between the two at Ashton Gate was within the last three years, in May 2004, with Brighton & HA inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Robins in a Football League Play-Offs (Lvl 3) match.
