Despite their stadium only holding about 14 people, it seems that demand has been somewhat weak for tickets for tonight's game.

It's almost as if Bournemouth are back in the Championship already, and the Premier League glory boys have lost interest again.

Plastic in the extreme! Should've offered us more tickets!

if we don't win this one we are in the shit as far as I'm concerned.

If we don't win this it'll be disappointing and we won't be in the sh1t. On the other hand imagine if by some mere miracle plucky little Brighton manage to scrape a point out of this massive fixture .... come on #keepthefaith (*BTW we'll win and get all three, it's in the tea leaves)

Pretty sure there is a bar in the away section

You might be mixing it up with when they moved us for the FA cup game... they moved us from the side to behind the goal and there wasn’t a bar I don’t think.

Yes, good point, they did shift due to the 15%.

Putting aside for a moment that they provide no bar, I'm baffled by the fact that they can play in the EPL, the biggest league in the world, with such tiny, shoddy facilities. The EPL really should bring in minimum standards for grounds including a minimum capacity.

Back to the bar, they aren't the only club are they? Certainly there were a fair few in the Championship. I wish our club would reciprocate. If the other club doesn't provide our fans with certain facilities, we shouldn't provide the away fans with facilities at the Amex that they deny us.

That might focus the minds of lesser clubs like Bournemouth who don't treat visiting fans in the same way as we treat away fans at the Amex.

Watford too! The way I look at it is screw them, lost revenue. I bet their fans spend more at the AMEX than we do at their grounds

Good job there was no league restriction on minimum capacity at Withdean.

Why make Bournemouth fans ‘ suffer’ with no bar just because we can’t buy a beer there? It wouldn’t change their club’s policy, it would cut our revenue stream, and, we’ll, it seems a bit childish, to me.
I would rather not drink anyway, than have a vastly overpriced can of John Smiths, or shite fizzy lager.

Agreed on the minimum capacity. Should be 50000 to keep out the riff raff.
