when push comes to shove there's no option but to stay away

 

[RM-Taylor]

Doubt they'll be more than 100 Albion at the replay

Loads of home games, expensive, credit crunch, Christmas coming. No suprise really

I've personally got a better one... I'm not even in the UK at the moment

That's what happen if you charge £18 for a cup game against unattractive opposition from the same division.

[Dave the OAP]

what that all that was there?

blimey, you could tell it was going to be a small gate when we drove down Valley Road and you could have parked right down to the shops on the corner!

 

[Beach Hut]

I was surprised how small the crowd was

Well Chesterfield also charged £18, for uncovered standing at home to a Conference club, and pulled in 6612. Seats were £20 - OK, it was a local derby, but the combined populations of Chesterfield and Mansfield are much less than that of Brighton & Hove. Also, higher League attractions at Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield are also much closer.

I was a tad shocked, but then what do the club expect when they charge £18 a pop?

Lessons need to be learned, and I don't just mean reducing the price of a programme by a quid!!!

 

[clapham_gull]

Any reduction in price would have to be agreed with the away club.

It's the FA cup remember.

And I'm in the newly independent Kingdom of Somersetshire.

(King Rincewind,in case you ask.)

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Any reduction in price would have to be agreed with the away club.

And the FA, if I'm not mistaken.

cup game following a mid week cup game, rain was forecast and people got soaked last week. Does not add up to a good mix

more excuses

did you go today ?

 

[Del Boy]

Overpriced, bad marketing from the club.

 

[portlock seagull]

Stop bleating on about small crowds at Withdean, we all know why, especially after the Day After Tomorrow II was part-filmed at the Millwall game. Moreover, Brighton are a smallish club - have been for 5+ years now. And not a single game got close to 5 figures today. I'm not in the least bit surprised.

 

[clippedgull]

Even Leeds got less than 10,000 last night.
