2000 wasn't it? 1981 bought, according to the club.

Yes, it can. Have you seen the number of empty seats at midweek league games? And many of us STHers from outside Sussex drag ourselves to those games (when possible) because we've already paid for them. I have several reasons for not going tonight, but if it had been a day match I would have...

Matt Ryan, Glenn Murray etc?

I wouldn't go on ANY home cup game on a Monday, if that's what you're getting that. As I said elsewhere, I think the rivalry is strong enough to endure my non-attendance. First 'derby' I've missed for at least 15 years, btw. *doffs cap*

No, again, even though mid-week matches are inconvenient for me, I went to Stoke because I'd already paid for it. Albion v Stoke in the PL is more important to me than Albion v Palace in the FA Cup. (West Brom away is more important too. And I'm going to that.)

No idea. At least 4000 I'm sure. There are many Albion fans who simply can't make evening matches. There are many more of us who find evening games inconvenient, but went to the Stoke match because a) we'd already paid for it and b) it was an important PL match.

*yawn* Stoke 'attendance' (tickets sold) was 29,676. At least 23,000 were season ticket holders (many of them didn't turn up, due to work/transport/school/personal commitments etc.) At least 1,000 were Stoke fans. So Albion sold around 5000 tickets for the important Premier League match -...

I figure the decades-old rivalry is strong enough to endure my absence on this occasion.

It's on BT Sport. I bet less than 500k watch it. Is 50 miles the allowed limit? I live 46.9 miles away. Awkward.

Yes, that was my point.

If it was an evening game? Definitely not. Weekend? Probably not. I don't think the FA Cup is a priority for the club this season (or many others), so it's not for me. As I live in London, I'd be more inclined to go if a fourth-round match was away in the capital (any club). More accessible and...

4th round at home to Man City? Well, Palace fans weren't interest in that - and yet you seem to be worried what they think about us.

And I bet there isn't. At least 10 reasons have been given for not attending tomorrow, and everyone is going to have their own combination of those reasons.

I was a STH at Gillingham and Withdean and I'm not going tomorrow night. Same as @Bozza, I believe. So there's two to start your survey - possibly not with the results you had in mind.

Do you both work for Crystal Palace?

Well, we know Scott Dann and Jason Puncheon won't be playing. Both facing "lengthy lay-offs" after making rash challenges in Man City match.

Please list appropriate exceptional circumstances.

Decent-looking match on telly that night...
