[Albion] Will it be a new record attendance at the Amex against Watford?
- Thread starter Hugo Rune
- Start date
ACTUAL attendance, no. No chance.
People away on holiday. People who are not yet ready to sit in a large crowd. People who are struggling to find a way to get there / park / avoid the public transport.
There will be plenty of empty seats.

Folks still on their holibobs will ensure a terrific pretendance, still I'm sure the clapping seals on speed will be out for SbtS (I hope the words are on the new screens).
It may be the highest Pretendance - with all the chatter regarding how difficult people perceive things will be using a phone to enter the stadium the impression created is that a lot of people won't go, won't be able to pass their tickets on and of those that do go, 4,931 (approx!) will be stranded the wrong side of the turnstiles.

Half of east stand lower appear to be on their holidays all season long - always empty seats there for some reason despite always being sold

An interesting point. I noticed that the attendances at most Premier League grounds last weekend were a couple of thousand below capacity. Is this because the authorities reduced the away ticket allocation?

It’ll all come out in the wash, same as decimalisation, wearing seatbelts and having a piss at the Goldstone.

And with holidays and concern about Covid etc, the exchange ticket numbers could be higher than normal. Have we added a few more seats again this year (or since lockdown) ?

I might be wrong here, but surely the £20 fee means that your unwanted ticket goes straight on sale rather than waiting for a sell out?
The £20 allows you to transfer directly to a member, nothing to do with the exchange where it gets sold to anyone. Exchange goes live when the game sells out still

I believe the latest official capacity is 31,800 up from 30,750 of 2019/20 season.

Rather than a record attendance, based on actual people in the ground could it be our lowest for the first home game of a PL season.

I relisted my grandson’s ticket yesterday as he’s caught covid.
Glad you spellled covid with a small c, and didn't glorify a horrible virus like that with a capital letter.
Hope your grandson is well enough for the Everton or Leicester games.

I obviously missed this but can you say how the club managed to increase number of seats? Thanks in advance.

They have added 2 seats to each row in a lot of blocks.
