Yeah, I was commenting from my vantage point at the back of the east end of the North - could see empty seats at the north end of the East (as always?!) and the West/South/from what I could see of the North it didn't seem too bad. Motd made me realise there were a lot more than I thought.
This is EXACTLY why the exchange should open when a stand/tier sells out rather than waiting for the stadium to sell out. Only 200 odd tickets left to sell yet I'm sure there were many many like you not able to get tickets together to go in a group so not bothering/being able to go.
Yeah, I was always confident too. In my lifetime its always been a disadvantage being so close to the big London clubs, so it's great that things have changed so much in terms of youngsters supporting BHA since the Amex opened.
Back on topic, it's mad really that we're at a point now where...
Perhaps, although it's hard to compare clubs in modest towns/cities of the South to the old industrial powerhouse cities of the North... I always find it quite impressive that London has so many big clubs with big fan bases, and then a load of middle of the road sized clubs to boot. Outside of...
Yep.
But Liverpool etc are huge clubs where demand for tickets is massive. Its not rocket science that the smaller clubs in the league are the ones where you see empty seats bar the games against the big guns. Tis the same the world over.
We don't do too badly over the course of the season...
A big part of it is also because we are what we are: a relatively small PL club with a fan base similar to clubs like Saints and Palace where you also regularly spot empty seats, and I'd say larger than Watford and Burnley where you usually see plenty of empty seats. Believe it or not we don't...
Was hardly swathes of empty seats today. East lower next to North as always loads of missing ST holders (still can't work out why that's the case there, game after game?!), otherwise empty seats dotted about but nothing like swathes...
Agree though that it's a real shame the club have changed...
I agree. There really should be a cut-off point in tickets remaining. It should be obvious to the club that those seats left aren't as desirable as most that will be on the exchange.
