Bournemouth's allocation was 2,000 - same as all other away sides this season

 

[Blackadder]

Agree we started badly in the first half at Bournemouth but I thought the second half was ours.

 

[keeper01]

Bournemouth entitled 10 % full capacity !

Incorrect. League rules state away sides are entitled to 10% of capacity or 2000 tickets whichever is lower. Therefore their allocation is 2000.

What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?
Away fans are housed in the South East corner of the stadium. This area not only includes the corner section but also part of the East & South Stands lower tiers. Around 3,300 fans can be accommodated in this area. It is worth noting that the Club charge away fans more for sitting in the East Stand rather than the South Stand or South East corner. As you would expect from a new stadium, the view of the playing action and leg room are both good. Plus the added bonus of padded seats is a rare 'luxury'. Food available inside the stadium from the wide concourses includes; Cheeseburger £4.20, Veggie Burger £4.20, Burger £4, Homemade Pies £3.50 (in conjunction with Piglets Pantry in Shoreham-on-sea, baked on-site: Steak & Harveys Ale with mushrooms, Chicken & Ham with leek, Vegetarian butternut squash with spicy tomato). Peter Llewellyn adds; 'The Amex Stadium is an excellent venue, very nicely set in the countryside. The concourse is extraordinarily wide and spacious for such a small stadium. Comfy cushioned seats, excellent view, plenty of leg room, great pitch and the best acoustics of any stadium I've been to. The home fans singing was deafening, all down to the acoustic effect of the stadium design.'

Well give them some more. Great effort from them. Its a long way (despite the press thinking its not) and they have a smaller fan base. Great turn out. Long long time ago since I went to there place in the 80s, it took bloody ages to get there. Harry R as their manager spoke of Brighton's large and vocal away support.

"Great turn out"?

They're less than a hundred or so miles away, they're still full of the excitement at playing at this level after years of 3rd & 4th tier football, and they've never played at the Amex before (plus a fair few of them still inexplicably seem to think it's some sort of "derby" clash).

Of course they were going to sell out- without coming over all Sheffield Wednesday or Leeds here, it's probably one of the games they were most looking forward to when the fixtures came out. I'd have been disappointed if they didn't sell out.

Bournemouth is as much a derby game as Rotherham is to Derby. Its 100 miles or so and takes ages along the coast. Although the press dont seem to have worked that out, so yes 2000 odd for a club the size of Bournemouth is a great effort. OK Brighton these days might be an attraction (might be, as no matter what, Brighton are still an fashionable club that the press all but ignore) but its a 200 odd mile round trip and they are not the biggest supported club in the world.

I Don't care what anyone says,it's a south coast derby on new years day.2000 Bournemouth fans are welcome in my stand.Atmosphere should be fantastic.

It takes ages along the coast? It's dual carriageway most of the way so takes about 90 mins. The only difficult parts are around Chichester and Worthing.
Rotherham to Derby is much closer in fact, less than 40 miles, so not a comparable distance.

Exactly, its relative. Nobody thinks Rotherham v Notts County or Shef Weds v Stoke is a derby so why Brighton v Bournemouth just because they both sit on the English channel. Who next, Plymouth. Its a couple of hours from Brighton, if you support the Albion from Hastings then its nearly 3 hours away. Derby? Good on Bournemouth I think its a great effort from them. Give them more tickets if they can sell them

I hope it sells out. It's one we need to win.
