[Marc]

probably got down here and headed for the beach instead!

Our home support was pretty shit too

What was the attendance? I did not hear it. Good to see the family stand overflowing, but it was FREE wasn't it?

Ps If anyone caught the Withdean Wager number, I would be much obliged....

6675 ?

if they had sold out the away end, that woulda been a 7,000 attendance.

6,300 home fans *isn't* bad

They sell them for £5 per ticket.

As for the original post, it's a lot of money for a shit view. First time we came to the Withdean, we sold out quite quickly and had to get tickets in the home end, last visit we didn't sell out. A lot of people cited the cost for such a shit view as the reason for not bothering.

I think our rivalry with Orient is at an end, they brought a pathetic few and our support was shit as was the teams performance. I do not remember a game against them that had so little passion from the fans of both sides.

QPR were only ever in that end once weren't they?

To be fair to Borient they haven't got the greatest catchment area.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Not nearly as embarrassing as our midfield.

What was the attendance?

6,675 (6,331 home; 344 away)

Attendance at the first two league games of the season (Bristol Rovers / Orient) is up 19.4 per cent, compared with last season (Northampton / Southend)

Again, mainly due to the U20's offer, the packed family stand, and optimism after good away win.

Many more games like that however, and we'll be back into the 5000's in NO TIME.

I can understand away supporters not wishing to sit in the area we allot them, I would not accept to sit in that stand if it was available to home supporters.

Family Stand - free for Seagulls Club members plus one adult. I doubt many people in Family Stand actually bought a ticket for today. Would be interesting to find out how many people paid to get in.

I paid today, but only because we got our voucher late and didn't want a repeat of Barnet nightmare. Will use our vouchers for the Huddersfield and Crewe games instead. Doubt many in family stand paid today though.

Was very surprised at Orients lack of numbers today too.

I wasn't commenting on the numbers - you could have heard a pin drop throughout most of the match

I was very dissapointed with the Orient turn out today. When you consider that we played them last season on a saturday lunchtime up there (and it was live on sky) and we packed the away end out with around 2000. They didnt even bring 300 for a 3.00pm kick off!

Talking to an Orient supporter at work, a lot of them got South Stand tickets because of the view from the away end. If it's a choice between being able to wear colours and offer, intermittent, vocal support and actually being able to see the game, many opted for the latter.
