[glosterseagul]

A roof and at atmosphere will help, but realistically we can expect to average 12-14,000 in the current division with a poor side, add on another 4,000 if we are doing well and take off 3,000 if we go down a division.

Bank Holiday weekend - the schools go back next week. Lot's of people on holiday.

Always happens this time of year.

Simple!

Everyone f*cking hates the withdean and cant stand the sight of it!

We will fill falmer because it will be our own lovely 22,000 seater STADIUM!!

We have been written off by some of the Glory hunters who now have better things to do. Read some of the posts on here recently, and these are written by some of our most ardent fans


Couple of wins and they'll all be clamouring for tickets again and asking about the 2,000 extra seats.

That's why i've stopped going to home games, wont do more than 5 this season, or any season until we get Falmer.

Away games all the way for me.

 

[Thimble Keegan]

Well I am stuck seeing as I have to keep my run going of not missing a home game in all competitions in over 11 years...I will always be there.

Albion & England forever.

me2, cant afford to go to brighton and back to southend for home games, and would rather be going to away ones which is what i do now.

 

[Wardy]

Same for me tend to only do away games for a few reasons. I don't have to rely on either the postal lottery or a season ticket holder whos not going for a ticket, better day out, better atmosphere and people who love the Albion even though we are s**t.

[Stuart Munday]

Same as everyone above, its nothing to do with how we are playing or what division we are in Id rather spend my money travelling to away games.

 

[Brighton till i die]

i would follow our team even if we went down to the conferenece - i can take a lot.................but Withdean i cannot!

sorry - its a SHIT HOLE!

i will go to most away games and ALL the Falmer games!!

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

I know at least 15 people who do not set foot in Withdean but would go if we got Falmer.Some occasionally some probably often.

I believe the crowd today was below 6,000. Is this partly because season ticket holders are paying for a seat and not using it? If this is true, I'm amazed people buy a season ticket and waste it.

How many tickets did the club have left for today? Anyone know?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

away games are far far better i hate withdean, but its better than going to kent

I know of several people who are season ticket holders but are shift workers. Ned is one of them.

He works 4 days on and 4 days off so therefore 2 Sats in 8 he cannot make the game.

season ticket holders who did not go today have not wasted their seats we are the current lifeblood of the Albion because we put our £500 where our mouths are but some of us have certain other comitments this time of year.

 

[London Irish]

We've had this debate a 1,000 times now. Today changes nothing.

The amount of unsold tickets didn't amount to that many. Preston were some way from selling out their allocation and many ST holders were probably away with their families for the BH. I reckon we do have a fair amount of well-off fans who can miss games and not worry about it so long as their seat is there for them when they want it.

 

[Beach Hut]

I think a lot of people will not pay the high prices at Withdean as casual supporters.

Let's all hope when Falmer is built the whole season ticket cost structure changes to encourage kids to go more - most other non-premiership clubs charge aroung £50 for child seasons, will the club realise this will fill a new 22,000 seater stadium ?
