Eh? If there are people who never go to 'regular' games, then surely they are just not Brighton fans?

How many were there for the pre season friendly match when we played the European Cup holders? Can't remember if there was P&R for that game, I know I thought Eden Hazzard looked like an expensive mistake!
£20 a ticket is reasonable considering the opposition, I've had several non-Albion supporting mates ask me about it and saying they'd be interested. I'd like to think we would get 18,000+ for the game. I sadly quite enjoy the preseason friendlies, no pressure, nice and relaxed, a few beers in the sunshine and a chance to see our new signings.

Sorry, but no way will we attract anything like that number.

We easily could.
Playing the 4th-best team in Europe and with a squad containing some brand new big name players.

There wasn't P&R for that game. I was there.
Hazard has broken his ankle playing for Belgium.

I beg to differ. Can see very many Spanish tourists/language students/Sports Direct zero hours contract employees on their rare day off being very interested in this one. Plus the Albion has now been blessed with the Premier League magical fairy dust which means that people just go stupid for no reason at all. Equivalent of a medieval pilgrimage to the shrine of St Someone Of Something to catch a glimpse of their miraculous metatarsal in a fancy box.
Same old half-arsed training exercise in the end to the rest of us tho eh?

Regular games? What do you mean? This is the first game that the Brighton Albions have played since 1983.

Lazio, Sevilla, Norwich ! in recent years haven't attracted that sort of crowd agreed but Chelsea did (17K) although they opened the WSU just for their lot and they must have brought a few thousand. AM will have a hundred or so at best.

Well that's it, a high percentage of fans there that day, were Chelsea supporters, hence the inflated crowd.

yes but there was also a hefty Albion turn out too. far in excess of other recent friendlies because it was a very attractive opponent and AM are certainly up there.
Chuck in a few expensive signings, the premier league shine, a sunny day and what looks like reasonable ticket prices - it could well be in the upper teens.
Most will buy to get the points for the away games
Not that they give points for friendlies...
Whooshhhhhhhhh

Enjoyed the Chelsea game, a bit of bantz with Fat Frank although a tad miffed about having been moved to the Norff for that one.
'Here to see the Chelsea' was the roar.....wasn't to be honest..

It doesn't look like the Bridge car-park is open, just Bennetts field, seems a bit weird.
