Brighton have moved Wednesday's FA Cup fourth-round tie against Durham to their training ground because of heavy rainfall.

The match was due to be played at Broadfield Stadium but rain has left the pitch "potentially" unplayable, the club said.

"With the support of the Football Association we have taken the proactive decision to switch the tie to the training ground," a statement added.

The match will now be played at the American Express Elite Football Performance Centre, with a 19:00 GMT kick-off.

All tickets bought by home fans have been refunded because of the limited capacity of the training ground, but the club will now release 150 tickets for season ticket holders.
