Another 2 here as well, so there is a definite cross over, if not in huge numbers. Good to see you yesterday by the way.

I think most people would come along, if it wasn't in Crawley, that is the main blockage to people attending IMO

What have attendances been like for their games held at The Amex in recent years? That probably gives a decent benchmark to go from.

6-7k, which with the new planned stadium by all accounts is similar to what they are planning with maybe a bit extra capacity for expansion, I think if the games were regularly in Brighton people would buy into it and go a lot more IMO.

8,369 at the Amex in mid-October for the visit of Manchester United.
With the team doing so well, there's no reason that West Ham's visit on Sat 16th November couldn't see similar, especially during the international break.

Next target surely must be a 10,000+ attendance. You'd think they might have a chance if they move the Palace or Arsenal games to the Amex in Feb/May next year.

You're probably right. I live in Mid Sussex and I can't really be arsed with Crawley even though it's, what, a 20 minute drive for me.
I've never really been bothered by watching the women's team but I'm starting to think about it this season (yeah, I know: bad fan) therefore I'm sure plenty of others must be in a similar boat. I might go to the West Ham game if I'm not working that weekend.
Oh and anyone sniffing at attendances of 6,000 for an Albion team must have a very short memory....

That is a weird stat. Were there underlying factors?

According to this (https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/match-reports/match-report-crystal-palace-women-brighton-wsl/) it was a record attendance at Sutton.
Both Palace's other home games this season have been at Selhurst against Chelsea where they lost 7-0 and Man City which was a 3-0 loss. The Chelsea game was their first home game at WSL level so would have drawn a bigger interest.

Arsenal charge £13, or at least do for our game against them on friday.
