I went to the cinema the other day and the chap at the ticket desk asked me how many times I had been to the cinema this year, I replied just the once. He sneered at me and ushered me towards the plastic seats!

I can't wait for my half and half scarfs. In particular:
Brighton and Hove Albion v West Bromwich Albion
Coming in at 5m long, going to be one to look forward to.

Exactly. In our case the stadium (home sections) was virtually a sell out anyway. Add the larger away contingent given to many PL clubs at the Amex, plus all the long standing Bronze Members being first in the queue for non ST tickets, which leaves barely a seat for more plastics.

Agreed, your definition of a plastic fan is spot on. Also to look out for is when they refer to their chosen Premier side as "we", as in "we played well" or "we were unlucky", oh the irony !

Real plastics don't go too lower division matches as their image of supporting a prem side would be tarnished forever
So the 10,000+ people who didn't go to the Withdean but went to Falmer aren't plastics?
Right, okay.

Disagree.
Our crowds still held up even under the utter DIRGE we were watching under Hyypia when we were at the arse end of the Championship. The Amex is going to be RAMMED week in, week out next season regardless of where we are in the table and who we are playing. This is a brand new adventure.
And personally, I'm wetting my knickers about seeing Everton. Its one of the few clubs I've never seen us play.

How to spot a plastic fan, from very recent experience, probably replicated the length and breadth of Brighton in recent weeks:
December 2014 - disconsolate me gets home from game and trudges into local pub 90 minutes after full time. Man propping up the bar asks "how did they do? Oh, lost again, do you think they'll go down?"
March 2017 - merry me skips into local pub (a full) 90 minutes after full time. Same man asks "hey, how did we do?" I stare at him in surprise, and inform him that we won again, too polite to ask why the bloody hell he didn't know that already. "Great, we're doing really well, aren't we? We'll be up this year!!"
But that's ok, nice to see someone gradually seeing the light. Share the love.

With the ticket exchange also looking pretty effective for the back end of this season, can see there being very few empty seats from absent ST holders too next season. They'll be enough people regularly missing out to ensure the less attractive games are also sold out.

I can just imagine the bloke behind me in the chicken run, as I took in my first ever live game aged 8, snearing......plastic
I don't think there are any plastic fans, not the Goldstone, nor Priestfield or Withdean and certainly not now at The Amex. The only place they exist is on NSC

What about someone who has literally never been to a BHA game in his life, but within a week of us reaching the Premier League, has bought a membership card under the impression that for his £25 investment, he'll be able to get tickets to see us when Man Utd et-al rock up ?

There should be a points guage introduced to measure your plasticness.
Were you at this game? Were you at that game? How many STs have you had? How many aways have you done....extra points for north of Watford?
Do you sing? Do you stand at home? How old were you for your first game? How many programmes/replica shirts do you own?
Sake.

No because we had 30,000 on the database back then from people that brought tickets during the withdean years etc...Wouldn't get 20-30k in the withdean would we?
I'm sure we had many fans who did a few games a season etc back then
That's not a plastic fan though as they went to games while we were shite regardless of how many times they went.

This is my Facebook post after the Wigan game.........waited a long long time to be able to post it but after all the years and heartbreak finally got there......
" Well what can I say don't think it's sunk in yet...........honestly the second best day of my life after marrying the love of my life !
But I do have this one thought........
All the people I have met and had this conversation with............
Them " so what team do you support ? "
Me " Brighton and you ? "
Them " oh Liverpool / Chelsea / man Utd / arsenal etc etc but my second team is Brighton , always look out for their results "
ITS DECISION TIME !!!
And please never ask me if I have a spare ticket when the Albion are playing your first choice team !
Big love to all the people who have made my Albion supporting life so much better over the years.........."
" COME ON YOU SUPER SEAGULLS "

A mixed thread on Bristol City fans talking about going to the game on Saturday, and how smug we are!!
Varying comments on their unsold tickets being returned to our club, for our fans to go, and oh yes I forgot, our smugness

Exactly. And let's not forget the lowest possible attendance is pegged by the number of season ticket holders, so the pretendance will always be close to 30K.
Anyway, this thread is completely stupid.
