i am not i am only have my say for gods sake

Your 'say' is still whining.

Why should they reduce prices ?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

How come. Blackburn are still in the Cup, playing Derby. Are they going to play two games that weekend then

True enough.

i am sorry everyone

 

[portslade seagull]

what and lose 4-0 to arsenal

Have some faith Mark you support BHA after all don't you

I suspect that even though the game wont be live it could easily be one of the extended highlights games, meaning it could be picked up for live coverage abroad resulting in internet streams.

Don't worry about it, Mark! The ticket prices may be a bit steep especially after Christmas, but enjoy the spectacle .

Interesting that those on ST waiting list get next priority (After ST holders) before non season ticket holders irrespective of loyalty points. Bound to upset some I would think.

I don't know why so many people were so sure it was going to be on TV. If Arsenal win the replay its a top 6 Premier League team against a mid table Championship team. If Swansea win its mid table Premier League against mid table Championship. Neither particularly exciting games to a neutral.

If Arsenal win I could see them doing to us what they did to Reading so probably just as well its not on the box after the Liverpool game last season.

Amazed it isn't going to be on TV tbh - one of the big four away to the best-supported team in the Championship, who beat a Premier League team in the last round? Bizarre.

But you're like David Steel in the two David's from Spitting Image. I'd give up if I was you, you're wrong as were others the last time. The club is a business and needs to maximise its profits, simple. A home tie such as this is a bonus and that can only help with budgets (players?). Stop moaning

The fact we won't know the opponent for another week probably made a difference, hard to sell a game to advertisers when you don't know who is actually playing

No need to apologise Mark, you're entitled to have your say

i bet we lost money on saturday against newcastle

 

[tweenster]

I'll have to give it a miss then. Burns' Night 25 Jan so there is no way I will be fit to drive at 0900 to drive down to the Amex. Never mind.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

If it's Swansea, i'll bet £10 it's a sell out.
If it's Arsenal, i'll bet my left bollock it's a sell out.

I presume that the left bollock is supposed to indicate the greater sacrifice or certainty. Personally i would rather win the £10.

And I wouldn't bet against the time being changed for it to be televised, especially when it is clear who we are to play.

 

[brightonmark1234]

no i am not thou

 

[TottonSeagull]

same prices what a joke

Well if you don't like it watch it on TV, wait a minute it's a crap kick off time of 3 pm on a Saturday and not on TV. What a prize Tool you are!

They do seem to prefer making a decision and not waiting for the outcome of replays, still surprised though. I guess they thought Brighton v Swansea wouldn't be enough of a pull.

This logic doesnt stack up - if this is true, then why were we picked for tv in the 3rd round? We were picked because a chance of any upset, and if it turns out to be Arsenal, as a top PL side, they would be on the tv incase there is a potential upset...
