There were two announcements close to each other. This on 12/02/19 for this season, still available at that stage: This on 15/03/19 for next season:

Young Seagulls membership is £12.

The membership cost is peanuts, I pay it. Just £22 a year. Shirley that inconsequential to any Albion supporter?

I’m not either, but are you a Bronze Member?

The only name of note, from later fame, in that team was goalkeeper Mike Walker. I still have the skinny programme.

Isn’t it easier to deduct the remaining unsold figures per block (by hovering over each block online in seagullstickets), from our 33,400 allocation?

My Goldstone introduction was a 6-0 win over Colchester in Jan 76. Liked it, liked it straight away. It wasn’t just the winning football, it was the buzz of 16,000 gathering in one place with one unifying cause, the chants, the stadium.

BBC Sussex reckoned less that 30,000 in 2004. Still huge numbers, given the small home gates after the Goldstone was stolen!

My second game was near there in Feb 76 (an evening league match where we beat CP 2-0, circa 33,500 there, the match “Seagulls” was invented apparently).

2004 - 29,000 Albion fans at the Millennium Stadium 1991 - 34,000 Albion fans at Wembley

So, you were attending from 6 months old then. Still plenty of life in the young-ish dog.

I missed that as very young (didn’t even know BHAFC existed.... shock, horror), but my older brothers did, and told me all about it. Plus there’s the odd old NSC thread about it. I assume you were also there for the 32,000 to 33,000 plus home matches from 1976 onwards under Taylor, then...

May 72 - 34,766 versus Rochdale, with next to no away fans. Two or three thousand locked out.

This. 27,000 (but very soon to be 33,400) who’ll be spending countless hours travelling on the day and the cost of it all. All sold in a few days. It does not indicate that our home stadium should never be enlarged, far from it.

Some with Pinocchio noses, who never/rarely went.

Just logged in, 2,025 in the queue, but straight in. Lower deck - between 0 and 6 seats available per block. Club deck & exec boxes - all sold out. Upper deck - between 0 and 489 seats available per block.

Very low, especially down the sides.

No way. People with just a purchase history would’ve got better view seats than thousands of Bronze members (many are ex STH’ers) who’ve paid to go countless games. There are still 10,000 seats left with huge blocks available, enabling the people in the scenario you mention to get sorted next...

20,000 sold already is good going.

I had that at first, it made me log in at the top of the webpage a second time, but you don’t lose all that time spent queuing.
