Bit glib. The guy doesn't have to respond to every little petty issue fans have with the club, and in the grand scheme of things, this is absolutely trivial.
Yes, this seems an important choice of words. I reckon ESU will be open sooner rather than later.At least we know they will open the ESU when tickets are all but sold.
It isn't though. In their view, they are selling tickets and they've responded with reasons why they are doing it this way.Would still hope that selling tickets was more than trivial, even with sky cash. #openupperstadium
Presuming that the decision is based on the East Upper being at the same level as the 1901, so 'level 2' would be full before opening WSU, which is higher.
Also, the TV cameras face ESU, so may look better for the highlights?

Anyway you hardly ever go so why do you care?
First point is a fair one that I hadn’t considered.
Second point. Football is now at a point where fan decisions are based on what it looks like on telly. Modern football is Shit.
369 left now
So to summarise it is all down to those who could not be bothered with the 3rd round game where all the stadium was open but only 15000 sold?

So the extra 15,000 that turned up since Withdean or the 25,000 since Gillingham are all allowed to pick and choose when they are going to be Albion regulars but I'm not allowed. Sheep
Jesus, what a pathetic decision, that gets worse as every hour passes. As it stands right now it definitely is "ALL BUT SOLD OUT" Mr Barber so why not open the upper east right now for gods sake?
Whereas what the club are currently doing instead is shoe horning a few poor uninformed sods into the last remaining shitty lower tiers seats and then the day after will be opening the huge 'wonderfullly appointed with magnificent views east upper, just to rub it in their faces !!!
Theyve pretty much admitted they will open it so do it now ....................... my spleen is going to burst this is indefensible nonsense aaaaaaaaarggggggggghhhh
Just chill and buy a seat in a day or two.
Anyone thought about how much money is actually involved here.
300 x £18 = £540 and that's at top wack. Average would be a lot less.
The club are really waiting for £540 in the till?
But then there are the other costs to open Upper East.
(these figures are rough). 50 staff at £40 = £2000
Sales at average £12 at 3000 seats £36000
Anyone see a profit there? I do. Even if they open it block by block and one entrance and one kiosk, still a profit.

At least we know they will open the ESU when tickets are all but sold.

Bear in mind we don't keep all those gate receipts. Didn't someone say it's 45%?
