The guy who had a moan up about the booking fee,he assumed that the friendlies should have brought in 20k so he says 8,000 boycotted the game.

Unwell but still smiling
Over 10k for both matches is a superb result, anyone who thinks different is deluded

Boycott?

Thanks to Guinness Dave

What a knob.
This.
I wouldn't say it is a 'superb' result. I'd say it's about what you'd expect. 20,000 would have been a superb result.

I would say that it is.
12,000+ then 10,500+ for a friendly when compared to 7 to 8k crowds for a league game at Withdean just shows you how far this club has grown and what a good crowd we managed to get for games that weren't necessarily that attractive to go to watch.

Taking everything into account like holidays etc I think the turn out was good and about what the club would have expected

The only boycott I've been involved in was the 2nd half against Mansfield and even then I wasn't that keen on leaving...
I hope it WAS Mansfield, but if not that was the game I left at half time after the fireworks (??) went off? It really is all a bit fuzzy now

strong and stable with me, or...
I took part in an unfriendly boycott and was very rude to everyone I passed.
I don't really see how you can compare the crowd at a league game at Withdean to a friendly at one of the best stadiums in the country against Premier League and La Liga opposition. Who the hell would have gone to Withdean other than did hard Albion fans? The friendliest at the Amex against top level opposition are always going to be more attractive. 10,000+ is a good effort, and I imagine pretty much exactly what the club were expecting. 7 or 8000 would have been poor.

I'm pretty certain it was Mansfield, but it was only the last 10 mins or so we walked out for (you are correct fireworks signaled the walkout. There was another game where fans turned up and refused to enter the stadium. Some climbed walls after the game had kicked off to avoid paying but I cannot remember who the opponents were.
