Where did you sit at Lords?

[Brovion]

Bloody hell that attendance is SHOCKING! Can you imagine Wembley being only three-quarers full for the FA Cup final? I didn't realise the 50 over game was so unpopular these days. I know the tickets were a little pricey and Sussex didn't help themselves with the way they sold them (and ended up sending about 20% of their allocation back), but I don't remember seeing Lords that empty before for a final. Has all the recent success made Sussex fans blase? ("Oh, not, not the chance to win ANOTHER trophy, think I'll give this one a miss.")

EDIT: That's what happens when you get two little teams in the final I suppose.

They say it was 20,000, didn't look 20,000. If it was the 20:20 final that would have been held at Lord's, what would it have been then?

Those who are commetting on the attendence, my first photo and others were at the start of the game when there were a lot of empty seats but once everybody was there, other than the Pavillion and the far right of the grandstand lower, there didnt appear to be many gaps

In front of me in upper compton was a Sussex supporter who also supported the palace!

If it's who I think it is, he was born in Sussex, but his old man comes from pikey land. Goes regularly to Sussex games. Also saw a Palace player there, took the banter well

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

I must have been sitting just around you/

I was in row C where the bend started.

I thought the attendence was okay, after the Lanky game I thought it would be a sell out. Lots of people hung around the bars once we lost 3-4 wickets and watched the game on the screen set up on the Nursery pitch.

At halftime I spoke with lots of hampshire fans who thought we had more fans than them and they all said we were much louder. I think they suffer from having two footy sides as all the singing I heard early on was anti Pommy/Saints stuff. One lot started a play up hampshire chant, now if your a saints fan you are not gonner join in with that. Imagine a Sussex we are Glad all over chant....

When I worked in East Grinstead their were lots of Sussex/Palace fans, very odd. I think its where they work and play in Croydon due to the train service, if the trains still ran down to Lewes from there may have been different.

I know someone who went as a Sussex fan and a Pompey fan (family history apparently). I think he was unsure whether to join in any songs about Fratton Park!

I was sat amoungst a load of Hants fans, all of which were Saints which was quite good as they hated Pompey more than we do.

There was a youngish (19 or 20) Sussex supporter in an old Pav Sussex top on the train on the way home who was talking to his mate about his team - Palace - he was going home to Hastings

Or maybe when cricket becomes less prominent a sport in popular consciousness because big finals like that are hidden away on Sky..?
