We averaged 26-27k in the Championship for the 5 seasons after the Amex was completed to a 30K capacity. I’m sure we wouldn’t lose many STHs, and I doubt that we’ve got many Premier League only STHs as hardly any new seats were available to buy in 2017.
I had a season ticket for the last 10 years at the Goldstone.
Again at Gillingham (although hardly went)
Again at Withdean
Then things outside of The Albion changed and I couldn't go often enough to justify a season ticket. I go rarely now, but as often as I can.
The point is... I'd LOVE to have a season ticket, regardless of what Division we are in. Hopefully if / when we go down, we can have a ground FULL of genuine Albion fans.

We do have a ground full of genuine Albion fans. Where I sit in WSL, I’m surrounded by the same people I was when I first bought my ST in August 2015 (on the back of a really shit season).
small steps at a time

It's a Paul Barber work of fiction anyway. He recently claimed there are 8000 on it. There aren't.

3 of us offered tickets for next season but we have all declined and will not be renewing our bronze membership next season, not all on waiting list will take up offer even in the premiere
That's fine, if that is your decision, but if we do get to a semi final again, please don't bleat about being low down in the pecking order.

Looks like a 2k~ variance between good seasons and bad in the Championship, and another 2k added on for top tier.

Falling into the Championship will mean the end of Saturday/Sunday football.
Home games will be Friday night as Sky always choose us.
And with Leeds back in the PL we will be picking up their load.
That should affect season ticket decisions this time next year.

I bloody LOVE a Friday night game. Atmosphere is always loads better.
Norwich are up, and I reckon Villa will also go up.
Leaving multiple European Cup winners Massive on their own as THE elite club getting Friday evening TV games.
We’ll be an also ran with Saturday matches, which is fine by me.
Yup. Where I sit in WSL there are some STHs, but also a whole ton of day trippers. Gazing at their print-at-home tickets failing to understand that 191 is likely to be next to 190, phones out, packed lunches, asking ‘who’s that player warming up, it is Lua Lua ?’ etc.......and then when the game starts spouting all manner of bollocky comments (mind you the STHs do that as well)
Me too. Friday game rules, especially when we win. Derby, Reading, Leeds , Wedesday a couple of years back... happy days
Kicks the weekend off perfectly. Enjoy a win on Friday night and the rest of the weekend is stress free too........
That Sheff Wednesday game is still probably my favourite at the Amex.

We have an outstanding record on a Friday. Only games I can remember us not winning in the last 3-4 years has been 1-1 against Spurs last season and the same score against Villa that night the trains went on strike. Im fairly sure all the other Friday night games have been wins, and some biggies to:
Forest 1-0
Brentford 3-0
Fulham 5-0
Forest 3-0
Leeds 2-0
Wednesday 2-1 (with 10 men)
Reading 3-0
Derby 3-0
West Ham 3-0
Man Utd 1-0
West Ham 1-0
Bring on the Friday night fixtures!

I never have moaned regarding this issue, I'm sure I can watch the earlier rounds which even the sth seem to blank in big numbers. Also I knew enough STH who were not taking semi or potentially final tickets so not a problem thanks.

Just to update on the ST list I checked and I’m actually just under 7,000 having joined pre season so the figure of 8,000 banded around is probably accurate accounting for MyAlbion+ purchases for the cup and general demand
