None of us really know what our crowds are for evening games, the true attendance is never reported. It may well be that Athens will end up being the biggest Albion crowd at an evening game in the all-seater era, because we know that all tickets are being sold to people who can actually go.
That may not be the case - some people will have bought the 3 match package hoping that the first game would be Away, as they can’t get to it. That group of people unfortunately includes me. I’m not sure if the club will activate the Exchange for Europa League matches? If not, there could still be quite a few empty seats.
To be honest, you come across as a clueless cock.
Yep agree completely - and no trains either remember for that Palace game. Pathetic to focus on that one game to ridicule our home support
Yeah, the way he writes that is ridiculous, need never be embarrassed about our turnouts.
The embarrassment related to my response regarding the palace cup game from a few years back.Embarrassed, why? The club did a special 3 match package at a bargain price. The take up was so popular that by the time individual Europa League home games were up for grabs there were only around 4,000 tickets left (for AEK). That means 25,000 Albion fans had already purchased tickets for all 3 Europa League games. Hardly embarrassing when you consider for UEFA fixtures the capacity is reduced and that you still have the away fans allocation to take into account.
Please explain how we let ourselves down at home? Our capacity is 31,800. The average gate for this season’s three home games has been around 31,600. I would say that’s very encouraging.
Well done
Jesus man - why bother going if you're so embarrassed by our support? Away fans are always in the home ends - when we play in London there are loads of Albion in the home ends - but especially when it's big teams playing provincial teams. Empty seats galore very rarely but absolutely no different to other similar sized clubs. Leaving early perhaps more than average but we have quite an awkward set-up location wise being so reliant on trains etc. Not many walking to the ground compared to many other grounds. Palace cup game was a complete one off unique set of circumstances. Atmosphere - I don't know how often you travel but I can safely say the Amex atmosphere is nothing to be embarrassed about overall.
Most of the seats that have 'pairs +' are right by the away support. The away lot are an unknown quantity. I'm quite happy to sit nearer to Palace than what I am about the proximity of my seats to the away fans for the AEK game. Where's the Brighton equivalent to that West Ham fan going to be sitting (just in case)!
The AEK tickets are in E1F & I'm thinking that's a bit shady!! I'm most unimpressed that my usual spots on west lower were taken for both games! 
And me. Bought the package knowing I was going to be away for the first game (but obviously didn’t know whether that would be home or away). If the exchange opens or sharing is allowed I’ll put it on/pass it on, otherwise it’ll be empty.
Yeah sure, we don't have the huge support of the bigger clubs and northern football towns, but it's growing all the time. I think that Palace attendance, as disappointing at it was at the time, was a blip, wouldn't be repeated now.
You really are digging yourself into a hole here. You criticise the home support and yet it was loud and proud against Newcastle, as it was for many home games last season. If you ever go to Albion away games, I do by the way, you tend to find the opposition home crowd seem to be quieter. That’s the nature of the beast - away fans are always more vocal and enthusiastic.
We will still be faced with the family stand conundrum. Those with young children or with a long journey, may decide that watching a 20:00 kick off on TV is the better option. These seats then become hard to sell, as you need to have kids in your party.
Do you know the majority of supporters have a working life?
