Interesting that yesterdays email from the club re bruno stated ''less than 800''..indicating more than the figures quoted here

This ties in with what a few of us have been saying: the ticket offices (phone, Queens Road and Stadium) are all likely to have tickets available exclusively to them, so the online availability is not the full picture.
 




I think I have figured where some of the extra are. It's block S1H.

Basically, in the event of a 15%er cup game, the divide will go down in the middle of S1H. The online ticket sales thingy isn't clever enough to offer just half of a block. This could account for over 300 of the said available 800. We already know about the 120 in the SW corner. We also know there are a few in the family stand (which they are considering shuffling bums for to make pair available, so they can be sold). I guess there are also a splattering of singles elsewhere.

Not fact, but an educated guess from someone who is very sensible!

Wouldn't they just set up the whole block and treat half as sold so they would be unavailable

So how many have we sold then?
And are we really 10th in the country?
And if so, who is above/below us?

No - The precedent is block C in the East stand. Half of this is the family stand. The other half is normal. It's a club rule that the family stand is not sold online, but when there has been a sale for all stands (cup games) block C is never offered and only sold over the phone.

Not sure Everton are above us. Thought I saw them quoting 22,000 somewhere???

In fact Everton's club site quoting 21,000 ( as a new landmark ) as of late May.

As much as I appreciate the excitement about this issue, this thread is a little bit pointless as seemingly is not accurate.

BHAFC ‏@OfficialBHAFC (25/6/12 late pm)
Less than 800 #BHAFC season tickets left for new season. Hurry if you want yours as tickets still going very fast. Don't leave it too late!

Surely that's the most accurate assessment of where we're actually at?

I know we're in a period where so much is happening it's easy to become a bit immune to signs of our development, but for me this is the most incredible fact I've heard about the Albion. 10th in the ENTIRE league? Amazing. Just amazing.
