If he has your empathy why would I?

Under Gus in 2012/13 - our best season perhaps in the Amex. 16 out of the 23 home games were either draws, defeats or wins by a single goal...

Quite simply, I would not pay £31 to watch second tier football.
£31 is the cheapest seat no?

I share completely Darren's sentiments. Its quite a long 180 mile round trip haul for me, and I know others who come from further (Jim in Bristol, as did the OP himself not so long ago), but I can't see them or me drifting away. Luckily work isn't as fraught as it once was, and my home games are now as inescapable as a morning shower.
But Brighton never was a 'football town', and we always had a bit of an inferiority complex, as one might expect given our meagre 4 buttock clenching years in the top flight, interrupting largeley a division 3 slog.
One thing I think has improved, and is the hallmark of transition to more widespread confidence and self respect, is the diminishing amount of ref baiting. 'You don't know what you're doing' is rarely heard in the top flight, but was an every match event before we moved to the Amex. We hardly ever get it now. Maturity.
It is transition time, and we are heading in the right direction, and we can hang on to our pride and growing confidence, and more people will come to love The Albion as most people on NSC do. Seagulls!

Spot on. The atmosphere at the Amex is, on the whole, very good.

I personally (as a sth) would have no problem with many more £10 ticket games etc - even if it worked out better value than my season ticket I'd much rather see fuller attendances than empty seats. Anyone who disagrees is being incredibly selfish IMO. £30-£40 is silly money - even £20 a game would be nice in certain areas...
Total nonsense.. I have enjoyed this seasons football more than any other at the Amex. It nice to play with two up front and with wingers. If we had better strikers we would be spanking teams. The togetherness of the squad is there to see which is another bonus,

Not if you pick tickets up at the ground it isn't.
I'm in the seasons ticket camp, but thinking of binning the whole thing off next season.

Yes, exactly. Any of those three would walk into our 1st XI. The difference is we've already brought quality into the rest of the team and still have money to spend whereas those three spunked a huge chunk of their total budget on one player and still have big deficiencies.

The north stand and west lower wings are £25 for a C game, for a full adult. You can use P&R by saying you are picking up a ticket at the ground, or print off a ticket at home for use on a train or bus.

PS: If you already knew the answer to the question. Why ya askin ?

I did one for that game last season, v Blackburn I think it was, when there was hilarious guffawing at the announced attendance, something like 24k announced and in response to the RFI it was under 17k IIRC.
