I used to go to the odd game in the 80s/90s but a little younger than you. Most my life lived miles away from Brighton but still supported them. Now I have moved back to the area (just outside Horsham as it happens! :D) and apparently that makes me a JCL.
Actually, I suspect some of the people...
I don't necessarily disagree with many of your points, however I DO with the above one.
I'm not sure if you've been to the Amex yet or seen any photos but there is ALREADY large(ish) empty spaces in the corners and above the east stand. The atmosphere is going to be the same whether it's stand...
Also worth noting that empty seats look FAR better than the "unfinished" look of the corners/ESUpper.
As said, if attendances goes down (there will be more bad years as well as good ones) then they can cover the corners (with ad banners as they are now) and certainly cover/block the ES Upper (a...
Firstly the Gillingham game is an early round cup tie, was never going to sell out anyway.
The first match was a very minor game and the capacity was reduced anyway.
The Donny game HAS sold out almost TWO weeks before the game. Yes it took the whole of two days (which isn't very long at all...
Note that the WHOLE division isn't a "step up", many of the bottom teams are probably no better that Brighton/Southampton before any signings were made. We did beat Pompey and Watford after all.
The bottom teams of a given division aren't a step up from the top of the lower division, in many...
Even with no purchase history (but am registered), is there any guarantee that one will get a ticket once they get through to an operator?
Quite a waste, waiting from position 40 odd in the queue to get someone and then they say no. How much will the call cost too!!!
I hope you're right!
Will try and see if I can get a ticket on the site tomorrow morning. If it stops me, I'll try calling (where in the queue I'd be, who knows! :D)
Disappointing.
Recently (ish) moved into the area (been to many games in the past, Goldstone etc.). Got to see a game at Withdean recently (Sheff Wed) but bought here so (home games were always sold out), although I am on the database, have not any "official purchase history" so won't be able...
There is possibly potential in this as many PS teams will want their players learning the *right* type of football which Gus is trying to achieve. This will especially appeal to teams like Arsenal and Chelsea (Gus I assume may have contacts a the Blues) who don't want their players just to play...
Normally, segregation required a few columns of seats empty (where the actual segregation is) so the capacity, so if there was for example 8 columns (26 rows) that's 208 unusable seats leaving 2300 seats. Half that is 1150 seats. The unused columns can probably be moved depending on sales...
As opposed to a Windows laptop that is obsolete a week after you buy one. It very quick that another one is on the market that is higher spec for the money etc.
You can upgrade Macs, although what you can do is limited and it can be very fiddly/awkward if you don't have the right tools. RAM is...
Hi
When will tickets be available for league games, in particular the Doncaster game?
Does one have to be a member before buying? If so, how does one get membership? (I am registered on the site, no buying history, recently moved to the area)
I understand a smart card will be issued but not...
Cracking stuff superphil! thanks :)
Esp like the Amex east stand banner, makes it look a lot less bare.
Were they also covering the open bits at the SW corner?
