Are they Cat4 queue-jumpers?
Was a reg at Goldstone, just stopped going into the Withdean years.
Wasn't being serious.

With slight reservation on making a comment being a NSC newbie;
There are 28 of us hoping to sit together, the majority of us supporting the Seagulls right back to the golden days at the Goldstone, of these 28, 9 are priority 1 whilst the others are priority 4, some of which are season ticket holders at present. We are hoping to sit together with our growing family, I encouraged my daughter to follow the Albion, which she has for several years and travels away when possible.
Ideally we all would like first say on where we sit, but we will have to wait until 31st January before presentation. I am hoping that those of us who are not P1 are not considered queue jumpers as most of us have been far and wide, plus endured wet nights at Withdean when not holding a ST. However, I sympathise with those having to wait until they get a viewing under P4 and I wish them luck in getting their preferred seat. To be honest we are unlikley to get to sit where we want, but anywhere will be better than no where.

A mate just text me to say that he knows a SPURS fan at work who has NEVER been to an Albion game in his life has got a front row seat in the upper west thanks to a STH's +3.
Now THIS I disagree with.

Do they actually show you the view from every area of the ground or do you get to shout out requests?
Would have been good if the club had made the virtual tour available to all via the official site so we could browse for ourselves.

I'm surprised at the p1 sth for introducing him.

Yes, damn him for bringing a new fan and another £500 to the club.
Damn him to hell.

As I understand it the only area that is not for new ST holders at Amex is the Southern end of the East Stand. This is to allow for away fans to have 15% for Cup matches. So about of those 2,000 seats are going to be in that area.

I just don't understand why you'd want to spend £500 on a season ticket if you support someone else. Weird.

FFS, supporting the Albion isn't an exclusive club. This P1 STH has converted a spurs fan, that's got to be good hasn't it?

While the +3 is a good idea in theory to get people in I think it has been badly managed and has been at the detriment of current STH who have kept the club going. Why if all +3 are friends/family are the club not making them sit together? That is the bit that gets me, if you want to bring mates then surely you want to sit with them and if not then why should they be able to jump the queue?
No I don't have a better way of doing it because I'm not a marketing person but do firmly believe that there is/was a better way of doing it and you should look after your current customers first and then attract new business. Unfortunately its too late to change anything so all anyone can do is what and see what seat is available to them, if it's no good how many will walk away with out getting 1 (personally I will) and the club know that.

I can only go by the 2 West Ham fans and the Spurs fan in my group. They don't attend games at WHL / Upton Park (save for the odd occasion), and they want to get back into going to football regularly. They've always had an interest in the Albion having lived down here for years, and they've attended games in the past at the Goldstone, but for obvious reasons have not fancied going to Withdean. However, the wow-factor of the Amex has seduced them into wanting to invest in a season ticket.
Do they deserve to be ahead of existing STH's in the queue ? No. Would they bother investing in a season ticket if it wasn't sitting with me and our group ? No. Does the club want and need these additional bums on seats to make this whole thing work ? Hell yes.
They're not going to turn into die-hard Albion fans overnight, but we have GOT to expand the fanbase of this club. And if one of the ways is converting fans of other clubs to follow the Albion with the rest of us, then thats a good start.
