pottert said:

I think the club were surprised by the poor turnout for the Palace game as was I.We bang on about what a big rivalry we have with Palace yet when we draw them I the cup we cannot even half fill the ground.Yes it was a Monday night yes It was on TV but it’s Palace the team we despise the team that we have a rivalry with that nobody else understands.So if we can’t can’t half fill our stadium for a game against Palace why should the club think we will fill it against a team from league 2.Lets be honest if this was a 3rd round tie we would be lucky to get 15000.

As far as I can tell no one really cares about sitting in their own seats, that's not the crux of the complaints. I don't know if anyone has complained about that, so I'm not sure why people keep bringing it up. People just wanted to sit in a part of the ground of their choosing, namely the upper tiers.

Those with a football brain chose not to support their team against their bitter rivals.
What is a football brain by the way?

If it was against Man Utd or Chelsea or any other top team would there have been such a poor turnout I think not.I get the irony that in any other season this would have been a really big game but this season was seen as a bit of a hindrance.
What evidence was out there to suggest that a game against a league 2 team should warrant opening the whole stadium.

Why don’t we give Cov more tickets and open our upper tier?
They took 8,000 to MK in the last round...

Presumably segregation/ security?

Didn't we get nearly 20,000 ( in the smaller Amex ) against ex-league Wrexham for a Saturday 3pm FA Cup round 3 match ?

Why give the opposition an extra advantage?

To create a cracking atmosphere, support a club in trouble (we were there once) and get the extra £
