1850 of us ...

Amazed the attendance was 12,000 and feel very sorry for the MK Dons fans where to whip up some atmosphere you have to wack a cardboard fan against a seat, I sincerely hope we have something more interesting on offer at Falmer

Very strange atmosphere today. Loads of Albion but very little noise. Can't work out why. Even when we have nothing to play for we are usually loud! Maybe it was because it was a really bad game? Even so, I thought it was unusually quiet in the Albion end today!

That whole ground, club and even town just has this air of "plastic, family day out, not really football" about it. Personally I felt like I should have been driving, having a hot-dog and coke, and going to the cinema and pizza hut afterwards.

We did it at our last game last season, Fulham did it on Thursday.

Shame they didn't make it a plastic fan really, but then it's hardly a surprise to find out that Franchise FC don't do irony. What a shit day out.

For some parts of the game the atmosphere from the Albion fans was very Withdeanesque.

But it wasn't when we started playing better in the second half. Is there a link, perhaps?

1850? Bollocks, we had 3000 seats and no way did was their 1200 empty seats.

They didn't open up all 3000 - there was an empty block to the right of our support where fans could have gone if required.

Pretty impressed by the turn out given the factors of engineering works, a meaningless game, the fact that it's no longer a 'new ground' and the hiked ticket prices - almost as many as well took last season.

Shame the game was so utterly abysmal.
