There will be a variety of reasons and I have outlined one that particularly applies to me.

If it's a reply, we can always meet up for a latte in South Norwood ?
It's on me.

That's a shame, it would be nice to put faces to names.

Strange one for me. Having been weaned on the rivalry late 70s and early 80s, honestly never though I'd see the day when I wasn't that bothered about a Palace match, but this is as close as it gets. But it is very temporary.
All the factors raised on here are relevant, notably the likelihood of second string teams; lack of club interest and proper pricing resulting in thousands of empty seats; the relative lack of importance compared to the league games this season; lack of decent away allocation; behaviour of Palace idiots last time; and Sussex Police buffoonery dealing with said idiots. Travel difficulties are not really as much of a factor, it is harder on a Monday night but if you want to go, then you get there somehow.
Put it this way, the difference between this and the April away Premier League game - which I have targeted as the game Albion must be safe by - is huge. That will be a proper atmosphere.

Its January, and a few weeks yet until next pay day. Credit cards need attention, and a cold windy evening at the Amex is a test for any ardent supporter, especially on a school night. Some incentive to fill the ground eg cut-price for under 15's? may have helped.
And its Palace, not a big name club....

I love the 'bad fan' accusations. As if BHA is a brain washing cult. Well...
I went to the league game and that was enough. I have a lot of work to do, it's a Monday evening and it's on the box. There won't be the atmosphere that there was at the last one.
I also wanting to save an unnecessary 25 quid.
I'll hang my head in shame. Very briefly until I realise that I actually have a life.

The FA Cup is a friendly.
And yet all three clubs you mention, have reached cup finals, in their most recent Premier League spells...
I agree they'll never be THE priority, but the strength of a PL squad is such, that any Prem club has a chance of a final appearance, with a favourable draw through the early rounds.

8 - you can only expect, it'll be the same when we come to yours
9 - the station is fine. Its only a 2 minute frogmarch to get there (not a half hour+ yomp through town like at some grounds). As long as the trains are behaving, the queues move pretty quickly. I'm usually back at Brighton station within half an hour of the final whistle, sometimes quicker if I get lucky with the timing.
That said, with the train strike I have no idea how the trains will play out on Monday if Southern Fail aren't providing the additional matchday service. That has all the ingredients in place for a bumper portion of chilli-con-CARNAGE.
