Waiting List
- Thread starter amexer
- Start date
I know ?? On the basis only 2% of available STH numbers (400) look likely to be up for waitlisted people (as 98% have renewed), a lot on the waitlist are going to be disappointed ?

haha, good point............they'll be easy to spot anyway in their half and half scarves
In his programme notes before a match in about 1985 Chris Catlin wrote that he believed Albion had potential to be one of the top 10 clubs in the country and followed this up with something like "I'm not talking pie in the sky, it's the truth". Unfortunately I gave all of my old programmes away in a mad decluttering moment after I got married so I can't put my hands on it, but the comment always stuck with me. Seems old Chris was on the money...

I assume from that statement that you've actually watched a game at the Amex? Wow!
I recall Rick Wakeman on the regional news programme from Southampton (BBC or ITV) a few years back, when we were at Withdean - Talking about his lovely of Pompey.
Out of the blue, he brought the Albion into the chat, saying we really were the sleeping giant in British football, have a hugely populated catchment area all to ourselves and would be a great buy for the right entrepreneur.

Anybody would think Arsenal or Chelsea haven't played at the Amex yet.

Which, as you frequently point out, you now spend watching football on Sky down the pub. Each to their own

I even travelled 150 miles to watch to Brighton 1 Milwall 5 - LDV Round 1 1997.
Beat that.
Think the 22/23k number includes 1901 who don't count in the published renewal number of 20k or 98% because they have to sign up in 5 year blocks.

That would be 99%.........
98% of 20,000 is 19,600. So approx 400 available. My lad is 500 odd on the WL so looks like an 8 year old is going to be disappointed

We've been mostly disappointed for the past 25 years, worst case scenario for your lad, he'll definitely get one next year. What a great time to be starting your journey as an Albion fan. Hope he squeaks in though

We may only give the bare minimum to visiting teams as many will to us so they may increase the season ticket allocation and the lad in the 500's will be in easy.
