cup game following a mid week cup game, rain was forecast and people got soaked last week. Does not add up to a good mix

That's mainly my reasons for not being there today, plus I had other things I needed to do. Bad fan

Will be there again for Swindon paint pot though . Good fan

 

[pasty]

Couldn't afford it, and couldn't be arsed either

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

That's what happen if you charge £18 for a cup game against unattractive opposition from the same division.

Too true. I know the club's hands were tied as Hartlepool have a say in prices BUT it has to be said they both got it wrong.

Yep, shot themselves in the foot with that disgraceful decision, even if I wasn't working I wouldn't have gone for that price!

 

[BensGrandad]

As has been said the entrance fee is determined by both clubs and the FA as the gate money after expenses is split 10% to FA and 45% each club I think, so you cannot just blame BHA.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

DISGRACEFUL ticket prices, given the current run of home games.

Brown/Knight/Perry/Adams out

Close...

(i) In matches prior to the Third Round of the Competition Proper (other than replayed matches in the Competition Proper), the net gate receipts of each match shall be divided equally between the competing Clubs.

Can't be too much left after expenses today.

 

[BensGrandad]

I was fairly certain that it was 10% to the FA and the rest splt but that may be in later rounds.

thought this thread was about the year we move into falmer

[BensGrandad]

My terminology was wrongi t is 10% to the pool administered by the FA but I said to the FA

 

[clippedgull]

My terminology was wrongi t is 10% to the pool administered by the FA but I said to the FA

But still didn't apply to todays game.

 

[BensGrandad]

We lose money at nearly every home game so today would have been a catastrophe so reducing the prices would have made it worse. We would have had to sell an extra 1000 tickets for each £5 that the ticket price was reduced by just to get the same income approx. So it wouldnt have happened.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

did you go today ?

give me some credit

 

[Jeep]

For me the reasons were:
1) 3 games which are outside the season ticket in a week.
2) The prospect of none of our loan players being available

Bad fan. Will try harder in future

 

[El Presidente]

give me some credit

Why? Can't see a bank doing that either.

 

[sod1]

give me some credit

was it because Hartlepool aren't firm enough for you

 

[sir albion]

Stop bleating on about small crowds at Withdean, we all know why, especially after the Day After Tomorrow II was part-filmed at the Millwall game. Moreover, Brighton are a smallish club - have been for 5+ years now. And not a single game got close to 5 figures today. I'm not in the least bit surprised.

More like 15 years

sadly we are a medium club who could easily get 20k,but due to shite after shite with falmer its a surprise we get 5-6k for league games in that shite hole

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Well Chesterfield also charged £18, for uncovered standing at home to a Conference club, and pulled in 6612. Seats were £20 - OK, it was a local derby, but the combined populations of Chesterfield and Mansfield are much less than that of Brighton & Hove. Also, higher League attractions at Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield are also much closer.

Cheaterfield and Mansfield HATE each other. Not surprised they had a big gate.
