We start of with the tickets, I phoned up at noon.
Ordered 3 tickets to pick up at the ground.
Got to the ground at 7.05 pm to be met with a queue of ten and by 7.10 i had my 3 tickets.
The queue did start to form around this time to hundreds, I know the situation needs to be looked at but at the same time it is possible to turn up to the ground and recieve your tickets so you dont miss ten minutes of the game. The club and fans can sort this out, but moan moan moan, will not do it.

Referee decisions, I support the albion, but also feel I have a balanced view point. As I have been a fan and ref for several years.

Tonights ref did not have the best game, but Murray deserved to go.
Adams and Murray should take the blame.
You just been cautioned for involvment in a sending off, dont give the ref the opportunity to walk you aswell.
Though, if Adams replaced him instead of fuzzy (i know fuzzy is old , and needs looking after) we would not be missing Murray for a game.

I challenge all ref critics/fans to go on a course, and learn the LAWS of the game you are watching and just see a balanced point of view. 90% of you dont understand what is happening in front of you and only see blue shirts. Go to sussexfa.com for course details.

3 in 2 for Virgo, but really was his preformance tonight worth man of the match?
Two goals, but what else did he bring to the game?

Bring on the stick, and bring on next season with championship football. We have an excellent team this year and will steam roll this division.

Should people REALLY need to get to the ground 40 minutes before kickoff to pick up their tickets ? Sod that. I wouldn't go to the cinema 40 minutes early to sit there twiddling my thumbs for more than half an hour waiting for the film to start.

If everyone got to the ground 40 minutes before kick off, then we would have the same problem. There were hundreds waiting and with no hope of getting their ticket before half time. I got there at about 7pm and it took ten minutes. If everyone got there at 7pm, then there would be the same problem, albeit they may only miss 20 minutes as opposed to 30 minutes.

Shame the ticket fiasco has deflected from a very good first half performance.

When i went and saw The Dark Knight last month i got down the marina straight after the Charlton game and got my two tickets there and then as knew there would be a huge demand. I must have been down there before 6pm and the showing wasn't until 7:30.
Then i went and got something to eat and a drink whilst i waited for the start of the film, obviously not everyone will have the time to do that or get to the ground really early but if i had to collect tickets there i would get there as early as possible and if it ment i had ages until kick/off once i had my ticket i would then nip round to the sportsman for a quick pint.
Saying that i would be able to use up 40 minutes just waiting too get served!!

I would hardly say there was 'huge demand' for tonight's game though.

Completely irrelevant. When you saw' The Dark Knight' you didn't pre-book expecting to pick up quickly at the cinema. In this case the numbers of tickets that had to be distributed were known in advance and the situation should have been dealt with. Anyway, whilst you obviously have plenty of time to twiddle your thumbs, not everyone can get to the ground early. And even more to the point, the club advertise the pick up as a service, so why should people have to give up loads of time to get the ticket. I'm not saying it's a great idea to roll in at 7:43 and expect your ticket straight away, but frankly if the cretins who are supposed to be in charge had organised this properly a good proportion of tickets would have been distributed by then anyway.

Of course not, my point was with Batman i made sure i got my ticket sorted first as i wanted to see the film and the same could be said about the game tonight. I agree that the club are yet again looking very amateurish but i think that people should also take abit of responsibility themselves in getting there ticket in there hand as soon as they possibly can (be it weeks, days or hours).

I brought my ticket aswell as the Ipswich one the same day that we played Lewes in pre-season friendly last month, only took about 5 minutes before i got my tain out to the dripping pan.

or half hour.

I too booked early for batman, I used the online ticketing system and paid by credit card. Took me all of 25 seconds to pick them up from the ticket office. Im not saying it should take us 25 seconds at the withdean but it shouldn't take 40 minutes.

But would this work for Wall:E ?

I need to know. I might be seeing it Thursday. Should I turn up an hour early, just in case ?

If Ken Brown is in charge of ticketing-I'd get down there now.

Reckon you should be alright as its been out for a couple of weeks, Mamma Mia might be abit dodgey tho.
Was a proper disgrace that it was sold out and couldn't see it the other week!!
