Look long term. Falmer in 2010 will need these young adults, keep 'em interested.

While technically it is a possibility, if that were to happen the investment in the future fan base who would probably be hooked by having a good team and probably much improved atmosphere, would be worth it in the long term.
Which means the club will lose out if we're at the top of the league and capable of selling the ground out.
Sorry, I should clarify - the club will lose out financially if we're playing well, at the top of the league, and are capable of selling out the ground or at least getting 7000+ gates at last years prices.
Not true.
Thanks to the cheap U21 season tickets, I will be spending £140 on a season ticket upfront, instead of maybe 3/4 games at £23 a pop without a season ticket.
Therefore off me alone, they will be making £50+ more than they would have if they didnt do U21 prices.
Unfortunately, I doubt there will be many more adult season tickets sold, thanks to the shocking policy of keeping those prices the same.

if being the key word there
Our average gate during the last promotion season (2003/4) was 6618, capacity at Withdean is approx 8800. Talk of selling out or average gates of 7000+ seems wildly unrealistic, particularly without the current economic downturn. 6500 maybe, provided the team continues to progress.
