First of all, listen to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1_aod.shtml?r1moylesfri - 9 minutes in to the recording, and thats why we are going!!!!!!
There are 126 blocks in the Millenium stadium. Given a capacity of 75000 that makes 600 seats average in each block. I would be very surprised if the central blocks M9 and M8 are for anyone other than corporate/directors/guests. That leaves the favoured blocks M7-M5, the ones everyone is moaning about not getting, with about 1800 tickets. If, as some have suggested, season ticket holders get prioriry, with an average of 2 guests each, only 600 season ticket holders would have got seats here anyway. If you got seats in M1-M4, you were still one of the first to get tickets, and it will still be an amazing view.
I doubt than fewer season ticket holders than that got seats there anyway. The so-called glory-hunters are not the people who turn up at 7.00 in the morning to queue for four hours - its people like us who do that.
Kids with Chelsea/Arsenal shirts on are quite probably sons of season ticket holders being taken for a day out. Nothing wrong with that and maybe after the games they'll want shirts with 'Knight' on the back.
You're going to be in a crowd of 30,000 Brighton fans. When was the last time any of you were in a crowd of 30,000 Brighton fans? 1991 play-off - and then we played in pink. The last time we played in blue and white in front of a crowd of 30,000 Brighton fans - the last season the lego stand was there? Wembley 83? Its going to be amazing, absolutely amazing.
I'm going to be in a crowd of one listening on the radio. Spare us a thought.....
