Any early word as to what the crowd will be tomorrow?

[Baron Pepperpot]

THE crowd will be significantly less than announced. Like the famous 30,000 for Wolves, which was far less than the Palace game (which is our biggest Amex attendance).

 

[One Love]

I would be extremely surprised (and concerned) if the crowd isn't big tomorrow.

First league game at the Amex of the season. It should really be a sell-out.

 

[crodonilson]

I am predicting another bumper audience.

 

[Giraffe]

Having a discussion about it before every game is just dull IMO.

Quite amusing that you have now posted twice in this thread then

Valid point.

26,174 and Palace are still willy-pooh-bum-heads!

 

[Nottseagull]

Our two tickets will be used by Scarborough STHs no less tomorrow and it is their 2nd Amex experience

Is this some sort of holiday exchange, i.e. you're in their period Scarborough mansion and they get your beach hut?

They have beach huts in Scarborough too A popular holiday destination for Yorkies on a budget.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

I think the club will. They should be looking for late 20's for every game this season, 30+ for the big ones. If they are struggling to sell tickets it would be a worrying sign that the bubble has burst just a little bit.

Even a pessimist should expect us to clear the three-figure mark.

 

[Canonman]

With holidays etc, I suspect it could be a low one, but as they report tickets sold it should be 27k+.

What would be good, what would be bad, and what would be a total disaster?

30,003 18,000 10

 

[SeagullSongs]

Excitable.

 

[Justice]

Certainly a lot more if match by match tickets were cheaper should have left the cheaper tickets at £28 at almost £35 you have to ask yourself does the quality of the team justify that amount?

 

[martyn20]

I hope 26k+, I was gutted by the crowd on Tuesday

Rubbish. There were (officially) >30,000 in the stadium ONCE last season, so why on earth should that become a regular occurrence this early in the season and with no indication of how the season will go?

I have no idea why you worry about such things: you must have been weeping every week at Withdean.

Tuesday's crowd was embarrassingly low.

 

[B.W.]

26k+ would be good for Derby game.

 

[BensGrandad]

I would expect around the 25k mark as many people are away on holiday of our little group of 4 there are 2 away on holiday.

I think 2 factors contributed to the low figure on Tuesday:

1. People have got used to the idea of seeing a shadow squad put out for cup ties.
2. The opposition was not the best to get people to go to the match I think it may have been slightly better if we had drawn a reasonable Div 1 side.

 

[bennibenj]

25,871

 

[Icy Gull]

Plenty of empty seats in all four stands and no more than 24k attendance although the tickets sold will probably make the official crowd figure around 26k

 

[sydney]

first proper home game of the season.........24 - 26,000 and a 3-0 would be great

18 ,000 and a 0-0 or a loss would be pretty shithouse.

Fortunately not, we are in Turkey so it is juniors god parents using them.
