Is that the most you can get when you're top of the league and supposedly playing great football?

I've been quick to praise your side when you've been doing well, but I can't understand the lack of support today.

It was a beautiful and well forecasted day, early on a Saturday therefore the rest of the day is still free and you are top of the league playing in a local derby (as Poyet called it) yet still didn't get close to selling out.

Don't get me wrong I know Sky effect even the lower divisions, but surely selling 8,000 home seats should be easy for a club the size of Brighton?

 

[Eggmundo]

Wonder what that works out as a percentage?

 

[Smithy]

Oh do shut up.

Oh do shut up.

Why?

He has a point, it's a pathetic turn out, we are top of the league for crying out loud.

I know but I thought that was the standard response to a palace fan.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

what the f*** has it got to do with you anyway?

 

[Steve Foster]

Only 300 seats remained unsold at the start of the game.
Not the clubs falt if ticket holders don't turn up!

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

LET HIM PUT THAT POST ON HERE THIS TIME NEXT YEAR

I know what you mean...I was shocked to learn we had 652 of the Withdean faithful engaged in sordid capers with the wives and mothers of the Bournemouth travelling fans today. It was partly cloudy in Bournemouth today, but apparently a lot of fun was had by all so we'll forgive them!

 

[steve-c]

would you want to pay near on 30 quid for a ticket, plus transport ect to sit in a seat not big enough for a teenager , get evil looks from stewards, consistantly get told to sit down by someone half your age who thinks he/she is in the sas when you get excited by the action on the field and show some passion, or are you someone who sits and politly claps when we score, i think i know the answer , see you at charlton standing at the back :albion1::albion1:

Exactly. I have no doubt that the fans will return next year.

 

[fire&skill]

85% on a rough calculation

Touche

I'm going out now for my shandy actually. If anyone wants to see me, I'll be in the Pav Tav at 9...

Not that any of you will be there, a bit like todays game...

 

[Foolg]

£24 a ticket, only 300 unsold, in what is the worst ground in the league. One problem is apparently those free tickets given away through the gullys gang scheme dont get added to the attendance.
I know people who will go to Falmer reguarly, but will just simply not pay those prices to go to Withdean. Attendances will be higher than Palaces this time next year, nothing to worry about.

Selling 8,000 home seats would be remarkable seeming as though there aren't 8,000 of them.

Really? So all the season tickets etc that didn't turn up today weren't counted in the attendance?

Bull0cks

You're crowds will be good next season, I've no doubt about that. When the initial buzz dies down, will we see that support die down? I think so.

 

[Hunting 784561]

We sold more than 7348 seats, but no shows ( ie season ticket holders who dont turn up) are not included in the final attendance figure.

Enjoy your half of VERY BITTER shandy.
