[Albion] Assuming a limited capacity in the future how should the club decide who goes?

[LamieRobertson]

Possibly (not beer though - would require a law change). May be allowed to bring in a flask though

Oh come on a flask that’s never going to happen

 

[Withdean and I]

I think all of us who sat, soaked to the skin and frozen at Withdean on 10th Dec 1999 to watch us lose 3-4 to Rochdale in what is now League 2 should have first shout!

No away fans, that adds another 3k and reduces overhead on stewards etc. obviously we then can’t visit other grounds but that seems sensible anyway.
Then a weekly lottery, families/friends can apply together, get whatever seat is allocated in your stand. If you ‘win’ one week you don’t go in the next draw.
Part STH refund.
It will be shit, the atmosphere will be shit. The queue for the bar will be better.

Residential distance on basis that further your are from stadium the more preference you have.

Freeze season ticket holder accounts , refund any outstanding monies , make it first come first served online , as long as a fan has purchase history cant see the problem , hopefully as soon as things go back to normal then the season ticket holders get thier favourite seats back .

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Refund season tickets, as [MENTION=12422]Taybha[/MENTION] says and then charge a small premium on top of normal ticket price to go into the Albion COVID fund, and then just sell as they do away tickets, based on points?

What’s the Albion Covid fund ?

Albion As One, I think it's called, isn't it?

Ah, I see what you mean. I think Albion As One supports a number of local charities. I don’t think they are necessarily Covid specific. Could be wrong.

 

[Rogero]

Maybe anyone with a birthday in July.

Even better then, I'd say.

Does anyone realise that members exist? Those of us who pay every year to get priority on matchday tickets, money which me and my family paid in June despite all the uncertainty? Seems everyone wants the lottery to be a closed shop of STH's.

It would be pretty shite to buy our memberships and then be told we had zero chance of tickets.

That is all

I would like a lottery of all season ticket holders and members for each game.

Nobody deserves to go over anybody else for home games, so a draw for each game seems fair to me

Thank you, only person on this thread to mention the members.

Here is a thought how about tickets allocated using ability and willingness to sing and chant. Last thing we need is a stadium 1/4 full with silent f***ers giving the team no help whatever.

 

[Giraffe]

Clearly a vetting process is required as such I have come up with a 5 point plan if you can answer yes to the following your in;

1. Must have seen Peter ward playing for the Albion ( charity and testimonial games don't count).
2. Must hold a current season ticket.
3. Must have previously held season tickets for the Goldstone, Preastfield and Withdean.
4. Must have attended a school sports day at Withdean. ( bit random but it means you grew up in Brighton).
5. Must have seen the Albion play at Wembley ( on TV doesn't count).

Failing this I suppose the club randomly selects a number of Season ticket holders who are offered a seat for a specific game

1. Tick
2. Tick
3. Tick
4. Cross, damn.
5. Tick

That's me out then.

The crossbar challenge - whoever can hit it gets a seat!

Possibly the best suggestion yet. It would certainly limit the numbers quickly.

Does anyone realise that members exist?

Thank you, only person on this thread to mention the members.

I mentioned members in the original poll.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

I really want to get back to The Amex to watch The Albion - but in reality how likely will that be when it's going to be winter when games are being played and reports like this come out..........

Because currently they are saying singing and chanting are amongst the highest risk factors

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Simple - if you own a Withdean poncho, you’re in.

Aren’t singing performances still banned for this very reason ? Might be some interesting guidelines on singing when grounds do re-open. Perhaps just open the East Stand for this reason

 

[Napper]

so sounds like the restart date is going to be september 12th with 25% crowds allowed to start and more by the end of the year.

That gives us about 8,000 supporters.

Would assume can still go to games with your usual groups and theose not selected to attend can remain in the pubs which will of improved further by then.

I know, thank you for including it, but the NSC collective appear to be treating it as one of the comedy options . When presented with the otherwise identical 'all STH' or 'all sth and members', 5 times as many ignored the members.

Considering that STH will get refunds if they aren't allowed to attend matches, us mere members are paying more per game than STH for the behind doors matches. We stumped up the cash to stay members in the middle of the lockdown, may well get absolutely nothing for our outlay (no TV vouchers for us) and probably shouldn't have paid it if it wasn't for our loyalty and love for the club.
