totally agree, been twice this season in the north stand and almost got booted out both times for making too much noise- f***ing nazi w@nker stewards.

Yes but with greatest respect that's Barnet in the JPT, few people want to watch that.
I wouldn't even call those prices cheap for that game, it's only a few years ago that those prices would have been the average for a league game.

SERIOUSLY!
What a load of nonsense. Also, these 'rug and flask fans' are there for EVERY game and don't look for any feeble excuse to stay away. In fact, they probably made up the majority of the crowd for 2 years at Gillingham. As for trying to blame them for destroying the Withdean atmosphere-I suggest you cast your gaze on the team because if they serve up regular helpings of crap there'll be no atmosphere-even if you ban the scarfers.

Also consider the current economic situation - interest rates up, predicted blood bath on the high street with retailing, numerous people in debt so what goes first ?

I was going to say the same thing.
I was offering Ned's ticket free for this Saturday and only three people contacted me.

If the product was right then people will come!
Just look at reading, wigan and middlesbrough, i can remember them playing to crowds under 5k. Build a good stadium and put a winning team on the pitch and people will come.Its only the die-hards who will part with £25 to sit miles from the pitch in all weather conditions to watch crap!

Paying £75 for a 330 mile round trip to sit in the rain surrounded by a load of moaning bastards who complain when you stand up to watch frustrating football just got to much. If I lived in BrightonI like to think it would be diferrent but I'm not sure, Withdean is bloody 'orrible.

I like the idea of Bradford City, they made season tickets something like £120, but only if a certain number of people signed up. Be good if we could do something like this, would get attendances up massively, and wouldn't really lose money.

So do I but it really would be a step too far for our Commercial people at BHAFC

to agree with the opinion that we haven't had a large support for many years. my first season '87 i remember the arsenal game being a big crowd (27k+) but the gooners had all the east stand. other than that i don't remember many big crowds since. falmer will only be 8-10k for quite a few seasons unless cheap tix.

I used to go to football regularly watching Brighton but coming from Eastbourne the travel costs and the prices at Withdean ,I have been priced out .
It costs around £40 for the day , cant afford it and now watch Eastbourne Borough for £9.50 on my doorstep. Plus I like to stand up and watch a match and not sit in those crappy uncovered stands.
I know of a lot of people that have stopped supporting Brighton and are now watching teams lower down the pyramid. Lewes and Crawley are teams that possibly have gained a few as well.

interest rate rises = 2 kids needing food, clothes and shelter + no pay rise for 2 years + petrol and council tax and gasand electric prices risng.
What you gonna do? cut down on beer (the albion) or the kids new gear. Not such a big decison when your 43

Exactly it is very expensive football these day, paid around £900 for 1 adult and 2 kids season tickets.
Annoys me though when all other league clubs manage to do very cheap child season tickets

Think that about sums it up for about 10000 people. Falmer will see all the stay aways come back where they can watch football with like minded people and not the flask and rug brigade mentioned.

Now listen to me Unameable, you can not come on here preaching about NSCER'S not going to Withdean, its not as if they are all on here on home match days banging on about how many times they went to Gillingham or own Peter Sudaby's match day sock is it its just not on, a lot of people can't get to The Withers cos Fantasy Island's on UKTV Gold for instance or they have to sort their recycling out .....so come on be fair.
