Season ticket countdown.

[Brok]

Prefer evening games myself

Only one game in three is on a Saturday - the Family Stand will be empty and where does it leave the fans of the future? Not good

That sounded shocking, so I checked. According to the website there are 14 home games on a Saturday

So just under 2 out of 3. Not bad, but not great.

[edit]

Acshully I make it 15, which is 2 out of 3.

up to the end of this year there are currently 6 Saturday home games out of a total 13 but the Birmingham game clashes with an Open Day at the Uni so will definitely switch and it's odds-on that the game on 15th December will switch as is usual close to Christmas. At best 5 of 13 and probably 4 of 13 are therefore Saturday games.

I haven't gone beyond the end of 2012 as games later in the season will quite possibly be subject to amendment nearer the time and yes, it is shocking.

It's a real shame for the younger ones, definitely. Realistically it'll be 11:30 or even later by the time I get home so there is no way I can take the kids to evening matches, and as either I or the wife will have to stay at home to look after them we're down to (at best) 1 person out of 4 going. I'll do what I can to pass the tickets off to others, but I'm sure there will be plenty of empty seats there apart from ours...

 

[Easy 10]

As a comparison, the scum at the other end of the A23 have 18 out of 23 home games on a Saturday.

But then there's rarely any danger of Sky wanting to show their games.

We really need to sort this out, we get a ground we are supposed to hang around in have a few social beers to save travel chaos and it is fantastic to have a drink up there on a saturday evening and now i think we have 4 or 5 home saturday games at 3pm :-( let alone how many kids are going to be allowed to go to the night games

 

[Silk]

Yes, having bought season tickets for three youngsters this is really not good. Obviously there have to be some midweek games but this is a bit much.

Not good, that's crazy!

Ah, that makes more sense.

 

[Goring-by-Seagull]

It is a shame the the younger ones will miss a lot of games before Christmas.. However I would hope that people will just get their tickets upgraded and take a mate.

I'll be taking my boy to the first game (it'll be summer holidays still) but after that he'll only be going on a Tuesday if it's half term. For the ones he can't go to I'll just be taking a mate instead.. Which leads to the question: how much do the club charge to have an under 10 ticket upgraded to adult for one game? Anyone know?

 

[nevergoagain]

Not much worse than usual to be honest. We only had 16 Saturday games last season at Withdean and we're now a much more attractive prospect for TV. I'm expecting to lose more games as the season goes on, hopefullywe'll have a decent cup run, plus I can't see Palace remaining at 3pm Saturday.

What is pathetic is bending over backwards to be raped by the uni at every turn.

The same University that backed our bid to get Falmer? Provides us with much matchday parking? That were there first?

A good point worth stressing back to the club...perhaps a non-Sky reason for moving could prefer Sunday or earlier/later on a Saturday to allow kids to still go.

Not as good for me I have to say, but I believe the children are our future...

 

[severnside gull]

Not sure any of that is relevant to be honest. We're pulling in 25,000 people on a Saturday afternoon. They're just noncing around with a few students, showing them some empty classrooms. Why haven't they been told to schedule this nonsense for the international breaks?

Not a Sussex graduate then.

In fairness without them there is no Amex

Mix it up with a few Sunday games rather than all midweek - it may be difficult transport wise but would still be preferable for families who could attend whereas midweek rules them out completely and it is such a high proportion of our games pre-new year at least.

 

[severnside gull]

10 season tickets available in West Stand
17 available in South Stand





and that it seems is it!

At this rate they will all be gone tomorrow

 

[Gangsta]

only 24 left in whole stadium.

There's no seats there, there's no seats there...etc etc

 

[severnside gull]

Down to 18.

Maybe a question of what time tomorrow we sell out

 

[spoonie]

flying out the door now all gone by tomorrow !
