A lot of people who are so wrapped up in football forget that actually, most people (and this includes the vast majority of the 25,000 that head to the Amex once a month) have no interest in travelling a 320 mile, 6 hour round-trip to a grotty town up North to watch a football match. Only a small percentage of our support go regularly to away games, and people often seem to forget that, and assume there are 20,000 people all trying to get tickets. The people who are usually in the biggest flap about whether they can get an away ticket, are often the people who are almost guaranteed to be able to get them. It's strange.

True. It's a ground we've been to many times, the view is rubbish, crammed into a corner, and being pedantic, it's in the Midlands (sorry)
There's a fair few categories of fan who haven't had a chance to buy yet, although I have no idea how many people are in these groups.
Everywhere is north of Brighton!
France isn't nor Africa.

I guess it's not a new ground for a lot of people. And it's holiday season.
Yes it is.
I'm still below the ST points threshold so keeping fingers crossed. It's Mrs EP's birthday that day so she's hoping for a sell out before it gets to my points level.

I'm not. But I would hazard a guess that every UK-based Brighton-fan is further north than me
Wrong again.

So how many points do you get for going to away games under the new points system
5/10/15 depending on opposition and popularity, maybe date/time as well? Leicester is worth 10.

I believe it is 5/10/15 but don't know how it is split up. Presumably cat c games 15 points and 5 for cat a..
Again?
And no I'm not. Calais and Dunkirk are both north of Brighton.
I know, I've just decided to go with the 'argue for arguments sake, even when you're completely wrong' approach. It seems to be the thing to do.

It was never likely to, we are still on a points threshold for the next 4 days before it's open to any ST holders, then purchase history a couple days after that.
As I said before, M1 looks like the last block to sell out which began at the back rows and they seem to be selling all the way to row A now so chances are what's on offer now is the last available. Plenty of room I would imagine for those oop north without ST holder points.

No it isn't.
