Because we're not sure what Norwich's allocation is, and if they've sold out, it's pretty difficult to guess. Also, we don't know if the Shelf is open, or if E1H is half/fully open. I'll go with 29,791. Tempted to say 30,000, but I don't want to be a let down.

Yep, although only a few hundred more Albion fans than the Preston game. Still think we could've sold a couple of hundred more if it wasn't for the Norwich allocation.

That's because it doesn't show all the seats. It should look like this, well, kind of.

Is this a mixture of Albion and Norwich fans?

Yep, all 200 of them.

Yes, I understand your point. But if both games do sell out, you couldn't help but think how many more Albion fans we could've got. I bet there are a lot of people who have no idea that these games are close to selling out, so will either buy later in the week/weeks coming, or want to buy on the...

I'm sure you have. I wouldn't consider the Preston game to be big. But who are the big game Charlie's and for which one?

I can barely hear the away fans when I'm in the North, and I'm sure they can barely hear us. I saw an article earlier where Eddie Howe said how he really doesn't want away fans at "The Goldsands" to be behind the goal, as it it would give the away team a big advantage. It's a interesting...

Who knows? They have somehow been there a couple of times over the last few seasons. Done better than us.

Well, for the really big games maybe. But doubt those extra fans would stick around if the going gets tough and we've got Hull at home on a Monday night. Seems some people on here think I'm arrogant because I posed a hypothetical question about us reaching the PL. God forbid that will ever happen.

Yes, but I didn't say it would be this season though! Well anyway, we would only need about 27,000 fans to fill The Amex in the PL. Where are they all going to come from...? :moo:

It's just a bit sad that Albion fans will miss out because the club have given a large amount of tickets to away fans. If we don't sell out, then I was wrong. As for the PL. Interesting that we may have less home fans in the ground than what we will have on Saturday. No doubt they will always...

Oh come off it. You really think we wouldn't get 28,000 fans in the PL?

Don't worry, it's only 27,000 Albion fans that are allowed in the PL, but I'm sure we won't come anywhere near to filling it as we're so small.

How is that arrogance? We got 27,031 "home" fans for the game against Preston...in the second tier. I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest we could get an extra thousand in the PL. Don't most clubs attendances go up by around 10,000 when they go up to the PL? *cough* Palace *cough*

How do we know we won't need them? Both games are close to selling out. 3,000 or so away fans could give their team a massive boost, I would rather not have the money at the expense of a win. Stick them in the corner, less vocal backing, which is better for us. Also, I think we could've sold...

Still, doesn't explain why the home club would do it. Maybe away fans spend more. Seems like clubs are more interested in money then their own fans if that is the case.

Oh, perhaps I should explain my situation. I have a season ticket in the North, but for some games me and friend like to sit near the away fans, so we change seats on the day. If it's sold out we won't be able to do that. I can't understand why we've given them such big allocations. What's the...

What, all 200 or so of them? And that's presuming there will be 30,000 there. Or do you consider Preston a big game?

As I said before, I thought S1F would sell out. Who knows, we might've actually been able to sell some of S1E to our fans if S1F sells out quick enough. Only 306 tickets in there now, so nearly 100 sold since your last report. Last time we played Norwich at home I sat right next to them, and...
