I don't have a problem with that as it highlights the number of fans attending on a match to match basis.
If you'd read this thread during the darker Withdean years it would have seemed like the stuff of fantasy. Superb.
26438.
The first line of my last post should have read 'in one of their last games at Withdean.....'
Doh!
Are the seats in the north-west corner the last to be installed?
The estimates for 700-800 for Huddersfield are too low IMO. They travel well. In one of our last games at the Amex they filled the south stand which was 800 and could have brought a whole bunch more. This is a new ground for new.
As for the Overall attendance, I predict 26305 which should be our highest league gate at the Amex
The new capacity will be 30750, but the NW corners don't look like being used at all (minus 1800). The Huddersfield fans will fit in the 1300 allocation in the south, and it does not look like we will need any of the SE corners (minus 1600). Huddersfield will be 150 shy of their 1300 allocation (minus 150). The eastern half of S1G will not be used (minus 325). There will be 50 unsold seats in the new 1901 wrap (minus 50). 2 of the new south stand boxes won't be used (minus 20). There will be about 500 unsold tickets from N1H and S1B (minus 500)
i wouldn't say a team that took 700 30 miles down the road to Burnley Tuesday night as having good away support
reckon 700 is about right
We will see - My prediction for Hudds is 1200 - they have a win under their belts now too
"Today's matchday attendance is 25,831 and that includes..."
...by the looks of the empty seats today that included about 1500 absent season ticket holders.
I'm not saying it's right and I'm not saying it's wrong. It's just the way things are.
