Reality Check

[Nemo]

As good as it was last night i can't help feeling we are getting carried away. About what you may ask. My question is this, Are we as big now as we were in 1991? I think we will not sell 31000 tickets and could be left with egg on our faces. Hope i am wrong of course, I know you lot will correct me.

 

[Happy Seagull]

My feet are well and truly on the ground. I don't think we have a hope in the final but that'll make it so much sweeter when we win

And i think we'll sell our allocation

 

[B.M.F]

Big as 1991. I very much doubt it considering we were 90 minutes away from Premiershite football. As for selling our allocation I can only say OF COURSE WE WILL

 

[Beach Hut]

There are issues which may mean that not all tickets are sold and don't flame me just think it through:

Half-term week - a few of us are away, I am but in the New Forest so I can go

You need to go somewhere to get a ticket - many people at times cannot be bothered.

But let's hope I am proved wrong

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Why the f*** be downbeat after a night like that?

 

[SK1NT]

I don't think we have a hope in the final

what the f*** is that all about, i reckon we have a 50/50 chance of winning!

 

[Nemo]

Far from down beat, I am as happy as pig in shit. I just want us to sell out but i don't think we will because of the travelling that could be involved to collect a ticket.

I nearly always have bad feelings about games we HAVE to win. My mates always take the piss when i say shit like that, coz they know everytime i say it we ALWAYS win

Lets be honest will having to go to Withdean REALLY stop people buying tickets? I would be amazed if it did and if anyone is put off going to our biggest game in years just because they cant be arsed to get out the house for an afternoon then they can f*** off, we dont need support like that.

Everybody I know who is going for tickets is also taking Mum & Dad and Auntie Trudy as well so mulitply the 6000 we normally get with a few from the family and it soon adds up.

I think there are going to be people disappointed rather than not selling our allocation.

 

[Turkey]

Travelling can't be an excuse! You can get them sent to you if your outside BN! If your inside you should get off your arse!

f*** THAT - I'm getting my sleeping out now and bedding down for the night tonight in Tongdean Lane. GOTTA BEAT THE RUSH. Who's up for joining me. WE CAN POST ON NSC AND SAY WE WERE THE FIRST TO GET TICKETS - YAY!!!

 

[Bwian]

People can also get tickets from the ticket office after 9:30 am.

I drove down from Guildford this afternoon, handed in the postal application for me and Mrs Bwian, gave them the stamped addressed envelope, card details, etc.

Anybody living in the BN catchment area who want to go have no excuses for not getting tickets-other than terminal laziness.

 

[Terrace Dandy]

We'll sell-out without a doubt. Was at work today and the blokes I work with were asking me a hundred and one questions. Can one go down and buy a ticket but also buy his friends and family one as well. Couldn't believe it, these people haven't been in 15 years and now they are falling over backwards to get one. I don't mine one bit, the more the merrier.

They are bringing their children as well so that's a good sign, future seagull fans. We'll sell them.

 

[Gazwag]

You need to go somewhere to get a ticket - many people at times cannot be bothered.

You have also got to remember how many people actually know where the Withdean is

 

[Crazy Cornish Gal]

We'll sell them easily! In work today there seems to have been a transformation of people who normally couldn't give a shit about the albion and have probably never been to a match, and suddenly they are albion fans!! (actually that is quite annoying!)

 

[Gullet]

Any unsold tickets will be snapped up as the week goes on and the Final feelings gain momentum. If we dont sell out (and I think we will) there will be too few empty seats to really notice. It's going to be great, and we're going to be the underdogs so let's just go and enjoy it and stop worrying.
