Just made the exact same observation to a pal. The take up rate in blocks 113 and 114 has been very slow for the last few hours indeed suggesting that a number of fans are waiting for the middle and upper tiers to become available. This generates a false impression of Albion fans' "day 1" demand...
Sounds fair. There are 7 available blocks and for a Saturday 3pm KO which is likely to attract a big Albion contingent you'd have thought the club would have been confident enough to guarantee take-up of at least 4 or 5 of those blocks as a given, offering at least two middle/upper tier blocks...
