Is that right? Blimey, take them off the list then, the club is getting more exclusive. But then again that was a midweek, we play on a Saturday. Any club missed?

Bloody hell. Have we really not played Fulham since Goldstone days?
Fulham had Fayed, Brighton had Archer.

1901 "spare" hospitality is sold out for the first time this season.

Agreed and that is people walking through the turnstiles or tickets sold!

Technically we are not getting that amount though are we? It's all tickets sold now, which is very good as a figure on its own but it's not the actual people who turn up on the day. There is an argument now that if the mediocre season continues the optimistic, occasional fans who bought season tickets this season, won't bother next year and you may get a more accurate 'attendance' figure next season.
I've never been comfortable with the tickets sold figure being announced as attendance.

Up the Albion!
Just absolutely gutted I'm not there for this one. Big crowd, a game with an edge to it, should equal a cracking atmosphere.....should do.

Soup! Why didn’t I get any Soup?
We were given two extra batches of tickets, I think its getting on for 3000 now. Fulham did it on a one per season ticket holder points basis and said it wouldn't go on general sale, because of this quite a few have bought tickets in the section next to the away end.After getting this last clump of tickets Fulham actually put the last few on general which has seriously p***ed off fans who got em in your bit.I'm pretty sure you wont even know they're in the there, they'll be well behaved and wont go broadcasting it. Dont think it'll be like the game in 1996.
Reading this thread our visit might not get the juices flowing for some of you but Brighton has always had a bit of a derby feel for Fulham fans,I've probably witnessed or heard of more trouble involving games with you than any other club.Remember big crowds home and away in the late 70s.Second biggest crowds of the seasons at the Cottage two years running.First saw us at the Goldstone in 1983, and seen nearly away game at Brighton since.
Really looking forward to the weekend , be great to play in front of a big crowd again.

tbf we have had more dust ups with Fulham than most London clubs,recall the Fulham fan with a kniife in both hands slashing an Albion fan behind the goldstone west stand,and the only fans to attack us going back to the heath were fulham,having said that i enjoyed my trip to hamburg with Fulham.

Fulham fan with two knives slashing a Brighton fan??, you sure mate?.Never heard of anything like that before.Been going Fulham home and away for 36 years and know a few of the faces. Cant imagine anyone carrying a knife

Well the guy with the scars around his throat must have been mistaken,we have been attacked with glasses wooden bats returning on the train from the goldstone even the girlies were tooled up! Not always been one way but we have had alot of trouble from a supposedly family friendly club,i first started going to fulham 41 years ago.

Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
Well I'm shocked ,first I've heard of it and thought I would've done, doesn't mean it didnt happen though.As you say it wasn't always one way but lets leave it there. Tooled up girlies though? at Fulham? Have I woke up in some alternative reality this morning?

I wasn't disagreeing with assertion that we are doing well to get approximately 28,000 tickets sold when we are in the bottom five. I was stating that we won't actually get that amount of people through the turnstiles.
Where is the proof that 'every' club announces 'attendance' as tickets sold now?

I'd be amazed if anyone doesn't. Certainly all the big clubs with lots of STHs do it.
