Yes, of course. I was referring to the empty seats which you could see, and seemed odd, given that folk had to make a conscious decision to buy the ticket.

Yes, thanks. It may be just coincidence but on reading the club briefing, the wording about the trains was that the service would be enhanced, and I thought that was strange, as they always talk of a full match-day service. The cancellation of that train going to Falmer also seemed odd and was...

I may be able to shed some light on this, though couldn't account for such large numbers. I went to Hastings station to catch the usual 12.37 -looked during the week for planned engineering work, and there was none - so get there on time to be told that the trains leaving on 37 minutes had been...

They didn't miss much

Whilst you may well be right in terms of business acumen, this really does not stack up with regard to today's rubbish of a game. Everyone knew that the attendance would be as it was - so why wind up the thousands of season ticket holders unnecessarily, as there was plenty of scope for new fans...

Exactly - why annoy the thousands of loyal fans who wanted their own seat in the upper tiers, quite understandably. I neither expect or even want the club to lose dosh on matches, and have happily moved to other areas, when it was obvious that the opposition or occasion was such that the...

I am on oldie too -I find the season ticket very good value for PL football, plus the travel subsidy. presumably you have looked at season ticket prices?

There are obviously clear benefits to sitting in WSL

Yes, that may well be the case -meeting said person; is that good or bad/?!. .

Let's hope for a bumper crowd and atmosphere to get us to round 5 - winning can be infectious, and we have a much better squad now, assuming that the whole squad will be used for this match.

As I said, it is not the end of the world. Suppose you were looking forward t, say, a works xmas function, and being with your mates, only to find that you were allocated a table with folk you didn't know. Would you take the view that you are telling me to do? I think we both know the answer to...

Not sure if I expressed myself badly or you have misunderstood. Of course it is the same as last year and for other cup games, and I was fully expecting that the lower tiers only would initially be opened, though it was entirely predictable that the upper tiers would also be needed. And yes ,of...

Actually, I am in a different part of the ground and there is something to be said for trying out other areas, I fully accept. But the fact remains that I, like( I am sure) thousands of other fans would have preferred to have been given the choice. It is not just the seat itself, but the good...

Wasn't there a similar situation last year, when the Albion had to choose what allocation of seats they wanted at Manure? I am not totally sure but think that had we gone for the upper allocation and then not sold them, we would have been billed anyway. Is this why clubs open up certain sections...

Yes, you are right about the cost of opening the whole ground, but in reality did you or indeed anyone think that only the lower tiers would be needed, given that the fans mojo at present must be quite high? At least ESU or WSU could have been opened immediately, thus keeping regular fans happy...

With our relatively good home form, you have to be prepared for every eventuality . .

Make sure that your shoes are clean and bring a clean hankie

Yes, likewise; normally ESU. Would prefer my seat and chances are that the upper tiers will be open. Are they nice people in West lower?

Yes, fair point -always good for a few pages; Probably why they have done it, to read and have a larf at all our moans. . .
