WCP - you speak more significant sense than most of the rest of NSC put together.
Our support is, and always has been, excellent for the size of our club and what we have been dished up.
The atmospheres at home, and away, come and go with what is happening on the pitch. When it is good then...
There are about 350 non-season tickets in each of W1I and W1A. These 700 tickets are normally the last to be sold in the stadium (not great views and relatively expensive to other places with better views). For the Arsenal game, when there were still hundreds of better seats available around...
"Day-tripper" is football parlance for an uncommitted fan who you are unlikely to see again anytime soon. If you looked a bit more carefully instead of jumping to conclusions you would notice I acknowledged the modern day realities of football finance.
In my extremely humble opinion, "Tony"...

Will the ground regulations be strictly enforced on this occasion or will Barber's army of stewards be under instruction...
As mentioned earlier in the thread, it must be to do with "holding tickets back for employees and sponsors" or some such. It is routine procedure for league games - doesn't normally affect WSL but clearly is this time.
SPURIOUS "facts"... How many tickets will be sold to full paying adults? Certainly nothing like 29,000.
The 2,000 extra people in the stadium would also spend another £20,000 on merchandise to bridge the relatively small revenue gap and, you never know, some of them might even come back...
"BRIGHTON ANNOUNCE TICKET PRICES FOR ARSENAL CLASH". Adult tickets have been priced from £28 up to £38. The club hope that fans will appreciate not being squeezed to the highest available price point and expect that tickets will quickly sell out to Albion STHs and those with loyalty points...
