I think STH who had a season ticket in last year at Withdean will have minimum 1125 (1000 + 250/2), before you start counting home cup games (20 alone for Arsenal which everyone went to)/aways this season and a half of last season's points. Therefore guessing there will be a fair number (well over 3k with more points than you). That's not to say they will all want to go!

Ah, thanks. I'd forgotten about the Withdean STH legacy points! Could be a nerve-wracking few days if we get through ...

Cheers. I've also got 1110, so am in exactly the same position. It'd be interesting to know how many people there really are with larger numbers of points than this, given that our away attendance probably averages not much more than 1,000 (?), and a lot of those are, I think, the same people.

But those who had Withdean ST's still have more (I think, an extra couple of hundred) I've only done 5 aways this season and didn't do the Newcastle cup game. Also think our average away attendance is a lot higher than 1000, maybe more than 1500?? Knowing my luck they'll draw one of the lines at 1150 and can't see me getting one then

10 May = Match B 1st Leg and my birthday

the last game I went to on my birthday was the 2006 UEFA Cup Final in Eindhoven, poor Middlesbrough, stuffed 4-0 by Sevilla if I remember rightly. Here's to the same result this weekend!!

I don't think Sevilla are playing Middlesborough this weekend :thumbsup:

I think we'll be playing Leicester on the Thursday night at home. Dunno why, just do.

Cant see Leicester getting 4th! With only 5 games to go they would need to close a 6 point gap on Palace (as well as get more points than us, Bolton and Forest) and still to play Bolton, Palace (away), Watford and Forest(away)!

This is definitely different to last year. They announced the precise dates, home or away, according to the position that the team finished. So when the results were in on the last day, you knew exactly where and when you would be playing. There was even a special set of permutations just in the Championship for Brighton, so that we did not play at home on the (then) Bank Holiday Monday.
I can only think the prospect of Albion v Palace needs some planning, but they will have very little time to do so. You now need ten days notice to 'organise' an FA Cup replay, but only 5 days for a play off that could be in 4 locations against any of 3 teams.

They don't play the play-offs before the final game of the normal season!
