Probably because of the price! I upgraded a ticket from U21 to adult and was charged £35.11 for the privilege. Because the full one-off price for the ticket is £63.....
Bought mine as soon as they went on sale. Now can't go because of work. Contacted the club to return it so someone else could go and was told it was non-returnable and non-refundable. Shame.
I'm about to put a load in the recycling unless anyone out there wants them:
1970s: 48 home, 1 away
1980s: 148 home, 30 away (mainly from the early 80s, looks like a couple of seasons of full sets at home)
1990s: 18 home, 9 away
Amex era: About 140 (could be more) mainly home, but also quite...
Put it in Premium Bonds and when HMRC ask for the money back agree an interest free payment each month to pay it back, cashing in the bonds as you go. Or if you can afford the payments then keep all the bonds and at the end of the payment period you will have £20k saved. All the time you will...
Very true. But that’s only really happened in the past few years after success in the Championship and getting into the Prem. If we were in League Two they’d all be wearing City, Liverpool and United shirts.
This reminds me of the story a few years ago that actually made it into the Mirror, who sent a trainee reporter to Millwall v Brighton at the Den and wrote about fans singing Sieg heil and doing the Nazi salute. Turned out it was Albion fans singing Seagulls and pointing at the opposition fans....
And this hits the nail on the head. It happened to one of our players in their box. So definite pen. If it had been one of their players in our box we’d be saying definitely not a pen. It was one of those. Sometimes given, sometimes not.
But however you manage this, there will always be a point where a millimetre difference will either be offside or onside. The line has to be somewhere.
The Athletic are going round all the nationals poaching staff at the moment. Offering signing on fees, share options and doubling their wages in some cases. Also obviously taking local journos too. They must be confident to be throwing such huge sums at people but difficult to see how the model...
They were very happy to enjoy a bit of bantz when they were winning (and there was no animosity towards them at all). But they weren’t so friendly after we equalised. Plus they were away fans in the home end. Why are you implying I’m the one in the wrong for being threatened?
Not the experience I had in East Upper on Saturday. I put my son’s seat on the exchange and it was sold to a Newcastle fan (how is that allowed, Paul - feel free to DM me). His mate sat in the row in front. All was fine until Brighton scored. I encouraged them to at least stand up and one of...
Being bone-headed, I missed the window to get a ticket when the first wave became available (got my dates wrong), but I've just picked up one that came available this morning in block 117. Worth checking the website regularly if you still want to go.
