[Football] Attendance figure for last night???

[El Presidente]

It was really really good cheers. I've posted about it on a couple of other threads. Oh, and sent an email to Seagull Travel telling them so. And posted a very positive Google review also. So, yeah, you could say it was good

Get off the fence Tom.

Watching MotD it is clear that most grounds had a very reduced attendance, even those that were during the day and/or with easy public transport. Huge numbers of empty seats, so nothing exceptional about the Amex.

The empty spaces were far far more evident at the Amex.

 

[Surf's Up]

I asked Toyah Wilcox about the attendance last night and she said It's a Mystery.

Big up to the staff though at the Amex, who were great before and after the match, especially directing people to park and ride etc.

Less of a big up to the bellend who tried to drive through me and some others in his Mercedes at the pedestrian crossing leaving the ground as we were on it. I'm sure though that he's a very important person will a very small penis.

Most Mercedes drivers are, aren't they

 

[grubbyhands]

Not really. 1700, wasn’t it? It’s a fairly easy away trip from London!

It really isn't an easy away trip from London or anywhere else for that matter is it with the "no trains situation"? Otherwise there would have been a load more home fans in attendance.

 

[CheeseRolls]

Yep, great 3 points! Brentford seemed to have a reduced allocation compared to all the other away fans this season - much wider gap of seats than normally between them and the Albion fans in the South Stand - at a guess around 1,000 fewer than Leeds. Definitely made a lot of noise though - shows the benefit of a load of singing fans all compressed in one space together!

Maybe at the start of the game and during a brief period in the second half when they rallied a little, other than that the few silenced the many.

I enjoyed the game from ESU…at the end the players were waving at me …well and the 13 others

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

When Palace finish their super new main stand, which surely can't be very long now, they'll be able to put is to shame with their 40,000m crowds every week.

They seemed confused as to where they were ….something about a library and forgetting people were there on several occasions

Maybe some fans also gave up when they got near the ground as the car parks at the University were all full.

Big queues around kick off on the University ring road, were the places over sold?

Problems with 1 of the park and rides, they were dropping off on A27, at the station, then police turned up waving them on. They were told not to stop there.

The uni car park wasn’t full. We were in the multi storey and there were at least 2 floors above (maybe more) unused that could have taken more cars.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

They always lazily repeat that nonsense. It works both ways, I know a Liverpool fan who is a Scouser (he's a steward at Anfield) and has come along to Brighton games with me and others and now has Brighton as a second club. Palace were getting gates of 14,000 in their promotion season. Where did the extra 10,000 fans come from? There are also 'fans' of palace online who have a 'first' club. I once pointed this out to one of the muppets on here who said pretty much what the palace bloke was saying to you in the pub and found examples online of palace as a 'second' team.

Palace are my second team

[ChickenBaltiPie]

Didn't hear them announce it in the stadium last night. I'd hazard a guess of 15,000. (That's based on going to that Palace cup match a few years ago where there only 12,000 Brighton fans. There were more people there than that last night.)

It was 12k

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

It was 12k

That seems about right. Where is that quoted?

It’s not and never will be I don’t imagine. Under the circumstances I don’t think it’s anything to be that embarrassed about but not something to brag about either haha

 

[Lower West Stander]

Anyone else notice how the SW corner was packed, blocks S1F & S1G. By coincidence, these were the away seats returned by Brentford (or not taken) and sold at full price by the club. Surely this showed there were fans who wanted to attend but couldn't get tickets together in the East or West.

Yes - I did. And these were exactly my thoughts.

Swathes of empty presold seats to season ticket holders but the general sale seats were pretty full. It was no more than half full where I sit.

Combination of factors but all points to the club maxing out on potential revenue and fans not being able to get better seats.

I wonder if Matthew Benham drives a Merc?

spurs announced theirs as actual fans ( sorry customers ) that turned up 40,539

we won't want to do the same as will concerned it is seen as admission that previously insisting tickets sold measure is only way might be wrong approach

no doubt in will appear in next home programme as say 30,796

But Paul Barber has said we only do it that way as the PL or FA or some other godlike authority says we have to, doesn't he?
