Is that just palace fans having to attend with tickets and ID?! Got a mate planning on using another lads season ticket for the game (both Albion)

Yes because i knew you we're joking, so i was saying im sure it will be more than you'd actually imagine the figure to be though. Despite the stated attendance for stoke, the actual attendance is always a few thousand at least lower for mid week fixtures. Stoke was no different. You really...

Nope, i didnt say over 10k. I said i think you are underestimating though. Probably around 4/5k I reckon that won't be there tomorrow because of the distance they live and/or work away from the amex. Weve got great support nowadays, especially considering the thousands of potential fans lost...

Let's be honest, everyone already thinks its a bit of a joke rivalry anyway!

If I was watching a third round game on a Monday night between, say Boro and Sunderland like yesterdays game - which im sure would have seen a similar attendance to our game had it actually been tomo night on telly - id think nothing of the ground being half full. The magic of the cup died ages...

Blimey some people need to get a life. 'i don't think people get how bad this is going to look for us' I also think you are underestimating the amount of people who live/work far away - we have a high number of fans up in london for example, either working or living, or both. I know a number...

How have we not even sold 12k tickets when the thread stated 12k remaining ages ago when it was started!?

Palace managed 17k v us back in 11/12 for a league game...

Its a saturday and not on telly ffs

We sold out just last month. We will do again when we next play them in the league. We would have got close to a sell out if the game hadnt been on a Monday night despite overwhelming evidence that both clubs couldn't give a shit about the fixture/cup.

Shhh, you can't say that, we should have sold out in ten minutes, anyone who doesn't go is a jcl, we're an embarrassment to football, etc ...

It may not be true tbh, someone mentioned it earlier! The rest still stands though imo! :smile:

Well to be honest anyone who thinks our support is shit can do one anyway. We've had very good average attendances for years now, the atmosphere at the Amex could be better but is no where near as bad as some make out compared to many others, our away support is very noisy most of the time and...

I'd suggest perhaps you need to get out more. Having traveled all over following the Albion, and having lived in various places outside Sussex over many years, the vast majority of proper, real life football fans of other teams I've met/known speak very highly of Albion fans, are very...

It seems that some on here seriously believe that if the Albion aren't the be all and end all in your life then you can't possibly be a true fan.

I have my ticket, and I enjoy the rivalry. I can completely understand why people have chosen not to go though. I also know people who are waiting till after Christmas to buy a ticket - I think there'll be a bit of a rush then.

That's just b0llocks. Over 20k (will probably end up 23-25k I reckon) would be a good turnout imo considering it's the 3rd round, Monday night in Jan, on telly. Yes it's palace, but not everyone believes the hype around the derby (same goes for some palace fans I know) for a start.

I'm guessing most of those moaning about ticket sales don't have many other priorities in life. Just after Christmas, on telly on a Monday night, extra hassle that goes with the fixture and evening fixtures, £25 to watch two reserve teams... pretty obvious why ticket sales are slow despite being...
