Notts F reject Albions request for extra tickets

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Poor decision.. I'd hope if it was the other way round we would have held tickets in the south stand at least until the rest of the ground had sold out..

I obviously have an advantage being from a non-Brighton post code but my tickets in the Forest end arrived at the weekend.

Genuine question ..how much fun is it being in opposition end when we have a near miss or score... Poor ref decision etc...I find it hard to keep quiet

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Already got my ticket in the Forest end.

Yes, not as much fun, but still worth it.

Hoping to see seemingly random celebrations in the away end, nothing to do with play, indicating something like a winner for Burnley.

I also have a non Brighton postcode (Devon) but the website won't let me purchase!?

It's shite. I went to Palace a couple of years ago in home end, wouldn't do it again, just not enjoyable.

I'm sure that would have gone down well

It appears that if you live in certain parts of the country their database assumes you are a Forest fan

They're now on restricted sale

Who or what is Notts F?

It distinguishes them from Notts C

Yeah I saw your post on the 'other place'

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Too many tickets sold from all over the Midlands and North from first time registrations

You are right of course but I never go behind the opposition goal. Generally as at the Amex the fans sitting nearer halfway are usually the least aggressive. I usually have a chat with fans around me before kick off and own up to being an exile if they seem friendly. Sometimes I will have an informal bet on whether I will be able to sit still if we score and I always try to comment positively on their side's good play. Being of pension age helps and I have rarely had to sit on my hands anywhere


edit: Southampton was a notable exception a couple of years back - total morons!

I went in the Birmingham end once as I missed getting a ticket and thought I was disguising my Brighton support well until whilst texting someone, the large Brummy next to me asked why I had a Brighton phone cover!! Oh.

I'm going to St Andrews tonight to cheer them on (it's only 30 miles away). Loud and proud in blue and white complete with Seagulls hat & gloves. Can't see them complaining on this occasion at least

Should be good. They need the vocal support too. Been dead quiet there the last two seasons I've visited.

Or that other team in Nottm.

 

[Beach Hut]

You cannot blame them for this at all, I suspect their expectation is a sell out crowd to celebrate finishing around 11th in the league

Wealthier cousin of Notts C

I believe someone had already highlighted that Forest had started selling tickets to home fans in an area adjoining the away section. Because of this, although the game may not sell out for home fans, there is not a discreet section available to sell to Albion fans.

I have seen a communication from Forest stating that if home fans are bringing away fans with them into the home end to ask them not to be provocative, or words to that effect. Rather than seek to prevent Albion fans from infiltrating other areas, they are asking punters to be sensible.......blimey football fans being treated like adults, whatever next!

So clearly NFFC recognise that Albion fans are likely to be randomly acquiring tickets all around the City ground - would it not be simpler for them to manage (and potentially safer for all) to keep all the Albion fans together by extending the away area in the Bridgeford Stand on this occasion?
