I too am a little disappointment that my six years of buying an Amex ST on the off chance of promotion has only saved me £40.
Even those who jumped on half way through last season may be thinking they've been cheated.

Oh definitely, I could have run with the rest of the family when I was five and supported Chelsea, instead I picked the internationally renowned Brighton and Hove Albion back in 1973. Indeed when I moved to Liverpool (and relinquished my season ticket, as I was otherwise engaged on match days) to coach for one of the lesser known clubs up here I didn't flounder in my glory hunting ways, I stuck with Brighton. 43 years a glory hunter and proud of it!

I assume S1A to S1F has at least 4,500 tickets available ( [MENTION=15277]kingcole[/MENTION] ?) to allow for the amount required for FA Cup games.
Therefore at least 1,500 available for all league games.
Must be at least 3,000 available without these for league games I'd guess ?
c200 new STs being available implies a renewal rate of 99%, which instinctively doesn't sound wrong - so we have approx 23,000 STH, 3,000 away and 4-4,500 matchday tickets for a normal PL game ?
Whooooosssshhhhh... I was pulling your leg!
Except for the visit of Norwood, how many seats are lost to the two covered anti-fighting zones? A few times last season they were ludicrously wide for visits of clubs we have no history with.
In the Anfield Road End and at OT, just as examples, these zones are surprisingly narrow, with a line of stewards sitting down them instead.
If the Albion insist on 2 bands of 10 seats x 29 rows, that's up to 580 fans deprived of a chance to watch and pay good money.

In which case I apologise for being brusque. I have had the misfortune to have been on the end of similar comments, usually being branded a 'plastic' for not already being a STH by people who have no idea or interest in why. Once again I apologise, just been one of those days.
I didn't know that about Stoke. They used to travel in big numbers & haven't been to the Amex. Burnley & Hudds won't bring anything like 3000. Swansea probably won't. WBA also might be a bit short. Surely Bournemouth will sell out for their Cup Final though

No, S1A to S1F is pretty much 3000. For the cup games, as was demonstrated when Arsenal visited, the southern 2 blocks in the ESL were added to make up the 4500.
Caustic sarcasm is my bet. Not betting more than a tenner though......

Maybe the Scouse and Mancunian stewards are a really vicious bunch and they don't feel that their fans need extra protection by a wide sterile area, compared to our namby-pamby namesakes, who may just part like the Sea of Galillee when faced with the rampaging hordes of visting hoolies!

Indeed. But as did the Sea of Gallillee, damn good bloke that Moses.

Galilee.
Moses also parted the Sea of Galilee? I wasn't aware of that.
We seem to strayed slightly off topic here - my apologies.

The issue is our stadium is very new and safety certificates take a while to accumulate.
The size of segregation will come down in the years to come.
