Are you going to the Amex tonight

[Bruntburger]

Strange how people feel they have to justify themselves if they can't be bothered to go for one reason or another?

If your going great, if not its so what! Not why not?

Yes myself but only because I'm using up my season ticket and fancy a beer in the sun.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Not for this Sailor.

 

[Lincoln Imp]

I wonder, if season tickets didn't exist, how many people would put their hands in their pockets and go tonight?

In spite of the weather I doubt it would be more than 10,000, maybe less.

But because of STHs the club will be able to announce sales of perhaps 12,000 more than that. That's a quarter of a million extra pounds in one game, without allowing for merchandise and food/drink sales. If STH retention, using every last one of the methods available, isn't an absolute priority, then Tony Bloom ought to be asking for the key to the P45 cupboard.

 

[wsupp]

I'll be there, just about to leave!!

 

[brighton_girl87]

Nope, can't be bothered. I've found someone else to use my season ticket instead though.

This although we would probably get 15,000 - 18,000 without STH's if it cost £15 on the gate and you had the option to stand.

I think there's been a noticeable shift in focus of late, with far more attention being paid to those who do come (or, who pay to come anyway) rather than those who do not.

Assuming your 21000 figure is accurate... it's more like 3500.

No you take the % of sth's so 28 out of 181 is 15.46% x 21000 = £ 3248 no shows, however I have factored in a NSC " Uber Fan " upgrade meaning more sth's from here are likely to be loyal, with this upgrade to the overall non shows of sth's tonight, I have calculated 4586 sth's will not turn up, I have also factored virtually no extra sales, 400 and 500 Huddersfield Town fans to arrive at the actual gate tonight of 17314

Barber has the money from season tickets it is the walk up supporters who matter to the club tonight and if they won't turn out then things need changing before it is too late

 

[leigull]

For the first time ever I've passed on going to a home game when I could have gone. Fed up of this season and just didn't fancy it at all (much like Leon Best). Fully expecting a 5-0 home win and best performance of the season now!

Utter tripe. If anything, NSC's spotty internet nerds who can vote on this sort of nonsense during the day are MORE likely to wimp out than those who are out at work earning an honest crust.

 

[StillHateBellotti]

No, stuck in sheffield after work so will sit in the Brentford end at Hillsborough........gutted, well not that much. Get to go and watch the biggest club in the world get stuffed.

Fantastic mathematics. I love it!
My wife has 21 pairs of shoes of which I've only ever witnessed her wearing 4 of these (pairs not odd shoes)
We have been together 6 years and must of had 15 pairs when we met...
She's seems to throw out a pair a month too!
How many pairs of shoes will my wife accumulate before I die?
I need to both budget and provide adequate wardrobe space to accommodate this necessary basic female need.?
In case relevant to your calculations, I'm 39 and my wife is 29.

It is 474

 

[KJP]

Still on the fence, will probably decide about 6pm whether to go or not

 

[Driver8]

Nope but will be at Wigan.

 

[willow147]

I was going to go but have today been told I'm not allowed to drive for 30 days and as the trains don't run home after the game I'll have to miss it

 

[m20gull]

Nope but will be at Wigan.

Ditto

 

[smudge]

On the way

 

[dangull]

I saw in Palaces websites they call it the Mansex. Had to laugh even though I am a Brighton fan.
