Modern football is so shit. A half empty stadium in an FA Cup game in the top flight against our biggest rivals. 30,000 watching us play Burnley in the league.
How has this happened? I don't understand it.
Best wishes... hope you don`t miss the game....
Individuals no doubt have genuine reasons for non attendance. But have we really become so billy big bollocks after 6 months in the PL that Palace in the 3rd round of the cup is of no interest? I'd be interested to see how many of those people would want tickets if heaven forbid we made the final?
Seriously you don’t UNDERSTAND?! After reading NSC day in day out? Surely you’ve picked up on the security issues at the last fixture,the reserves being played, the lack of goals, the lack of cash, the Monday night etc.
You might not agree with peoples non attendance reasoning. But they’re very understandable IMO!

Hopefully some kind od advantage would be given to fans who attended matches in the previous rounds.
All in all, it’s a sad state of affairs. They might as well just ditch the FA Cup, as it is clearly dead and buried anyway. What a shame that is.
No I don’t. We get nearly 30,000 against the likes of Stoke on a Monday night.
Security issues? Seriously? How many Brighton fans were hurt at the last game? Zero? Are people really that worried? Have we really got that many fans who have only been going a few years and are that concerned about ‘security issues’ against our rivals that they won’t go to the game?
Lack of goals? Really? Our fans won’t go to a game against our rivals because we haven’t scored enough goals recently? That really is a depressing thought, if the Amex crowd is genuinely like that. We have thousands upon thousands of ‘fans’ who don’t understand what supporting a football club is about, if that is the case.
Lack of cash? Yeah OK, but in the relatively recent days people would have prioritised Palace in the cup against Bournemouth or Watford jn the league.

Or they could have just tried holding this FA Cup Tie sometime - anytime! - over the course of FA Cup Tie weekend. Would have added 5,000 minimum to the gate.
I'm not missing the game Simmo. Just commenting on the stupidity of WD's comment. Not everyone wants to go and I can understand that.
No they couldn’t do that because it would be just too terrifying for poor Sussex police, they wouldn’t be able to cope with 2000 Nigels from Croydon rampaging their way through Sussex at the weekend. And having it on a Monday night will
mean that nobody would dare have more than two pints, as they’ve all got good jobs to go to in the morning.
Plus of course nobody that does work has any annual leave left in the first week in January to take two days off and drink all day, do they?...
I notice you skipped over the "reserves" which must be the main reason. For those of us who are not local putting in a heap of effort to watch two reserve sides is no turn-on. Now that clubs don't care about the Cup I can see why fans don't care too.No I don’t. We get nearly 30,000 against the likes of Stoke on a Monday night.
