For my tuppeny worth, I think there is a combination of issues at play..

yes your point about not bothering is actually a good one. I have a few mates who are all STH whose priorities have changed and although we all remain STH through loyalty to the club and it is because we have “ always done it” most of us have put more and more tickets on the exchange.

travel when you look at it has always been a ballache wether it is by a sporadic train service, or massive queues on the roads leading to the ground from the day it opened. We all knew that and have signed up for it..moans and all! The last couple of weeks with the A27 has exacerbated the travel issues and at the end of the day, Falmer was the only option and we all knew getting to and away was going to be an issue…sometimes when it is bad it is really bad and people think twice about if they want to have that “ experience ”

we have a lot of fans who do come from a decent distance like @hans kraay fan club etc and they are really dedicated to the cause that they battle through roadworks etc to get here. That is NOT a criticism of those who “ cant be arsed” but more a example of people who in effect put up with what we have.

your perspective on life changes as you get older and there is a bit of a feeling about of “ we have seen it all” ( from the bottom of the 4th division to the week we were top of the premier league) and therefore, like Sunday, I wasn’t that fussed that we didn’t get back to Brighton in time to sit on a bus for 2 hours to get to the game. Years ago I wouldn’t hesitate to have tried to go

Sums it up for our generation. I wonder how the younger fans feel. I see some of them “less hurt” by a defeat and out for a good day out with their mates.

Sold out or pretended attendances?

Club crowds are tickets sold and they have been for decades. So yes. All tickets sold. Point stands. Predictions that crowds might tail off - substantially- if club relegated - perhaps exaggerated but pray that thesis not tested

A sense of disenfranchisement sums it up. It’s hard to put your finger on it but decisions made by the club about what we must and must not do keep chipping away at any sense of ownership.

I agree, it’s a combination of factors for me.

I turn up, have a beer with friend, watch / cheer on the team, go home.

It feels that this is not what the club want.

I think they generally say that passengers can stay while the players and families are doing their lap ... but then to make your way swiftly back to your bus/coach.

They should give info on their facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/EventTravelHub

And 'X' - https://x.com/EventTravelHub

Drivers also sometimes confirm arrangements - depending on how helpful the driver is.

Do we definitely know if anything is happening so late on a Monday night?
