See Palarses fan number drop by at least half when they eventually get relegated it always does. 12-14k when in the Championship only went up
when they got into the playoffs and suddenly doubled overnight when they had their first match back in the Premier League.
Wow I wonder where those extra ten or so thousand were before that ? ha ha
They will all be back watching their " first " teams in London like Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea when the scum are relegated.
It makes me laugh when Palarse fans say" well you only had 5,6.7K at Withdean !! Thats right you thick ***** because that's all it held !!!
Then you get the " well the Goldstone never filled up " well it did look back on the records, the only reason it didn't for the last 10 years or so was because over half of it was condemned you brainless human filth.
RANT OVER
After 10 years plus of rain soaked games against shittty teams like Carlisle and Crewe.... people were a bit jaded with the idea of paying twenty odd quid for that standard of Albion experience .....Without sounding controversial didn't we struggle to fill an extended Withdean at times. Lets face it we have benefited massively from the new stadium effect.

Not for me.... it was a turgid experience.... though yes, some good performances.I can't have been the only one who thought that Fortress Withdean was alright, yes I love The Amex, but I enjoyed the Withdean years. Who can forget Rocket Man, away fans when they were in the right corner before we moved them closer to Shoreham and chips .... yes chips, I love them chips! Queuing at The Sportsman, cava in plastic cups when we thought we'd got planning permission, Hartlepool 4-2 under a constant drizzle, those Championships, Zamora!, Cullip, Carpenter, Hart, Mayo, Watson and Lee Steele! Wet seats, away fans in the woods trying to see the game, and for a while a pitch akin to an allotment!
The first 5 years of the 12(?) Withdean seasons were great fun, as was the last season. In between, it was pretty turd IMO.I can't have been the only one who thought that Fortress Withdean was alright, yes I love The Amex, but I enjoyed the Withdean years.
