Now i may be wrong but i would think most of the fans in the highest point brackets will go irrespective of the points on offer because they simply want to watch and support the team. Maybe the zero points idea would be useful if applied to games with reduced allocation i.e. Brentford and...
Just had a look at availability and the club have released more hospitality seats mostly in W2A.
Grand total of 112 left, 105 hospitality, 6 wheelchair and one, yes one in W3A
An horrific thought!
If that were to happen they would probably be better off joining all the trains on southern together so you could get on at Brighton and walk all the way to Falmer. It would have the advantage of being inside if the weather was inclement and you could stop every 20 carriages...
I had to think long and hard about whether i should reply to this and on balance thought that i should.
So you start by agreeing that as we both know the points system is not perfect and can be difficult for fans in some situations. You then suggest the valid idea of keeping some tickets back...
That's what happens when you go by a figure someone else has posted without checking up yourself! So in retrospect only about 30 bought in their lunch break! :)
My reply that you have quoted was an explanation as to why when you go down the points ladder there are more people in a smaller band width. I agree with what you are saying but would not probably call it a vicious circle but more having to do the hard yards. Games like Brentford and Bournemouth...
In response to this the club have made available more seats in the North by allowing people to buy in the disabled areas right at the front including quite a few pairs and even some triples.
Currently 183 left.
Something i have not seen discussed on this thread is that, with no waiting list, if not a lot of albion+ members or others take up the unrenewed 7% of season tickets then there will be more for the club to shift before the exchange will open. This will probably mean that there will be a reduced...
Thinking about it logically it does make some sort of sense.
At the top of the points list are people like jackalbion who go to every game but there will not be many like him. The next group down, say about 50 points back will be those who go to a lot of games but by no means all who are...
Looks to me as if you were both right, as with the four rows at the front blanked out and the very large segregation area to the right of block T (as it appears on our site) i make it a total allocation of 2300 give or take a few. There are also 3 rows blanked out at the back of each block but i...
After the match i left the west upper to meet up with some friends in the west lower and as i re entered the stadium they were just leaving. I asked if they had enjoyed the game and thanked them for visiting which seemed to go down well and thought that was it. However after waiting for the p &...
We originally had 1,500 on sale but when it became obvious we were not going to sell that amount the club moved those that had already bought tickets in L7K and returned about 300 to the toon so virtually spot on 1,200.
100% this.
I had already posted something similar towards the end of the Bournemouth thread and i tried my hardest to stop our fans singing it at the Leicester game by shouting "too soon" but to no avail unfortunately!
Please, please, please can we have no singing of europe UNLESS and UNTIL it...
This.
Personally i do not like all those "negative" songs which seek to deride opposing fans particularly as they seem all to often to come back and bite you on the arse.
I was very disappointed to hear some of ours singing your second pet hate to the Saints fans especially as so many on here...
