Attendance v Fulham on Saturday...

[Moshe Gariani]

Available unsold seats at 10.30am today (Tuesday)...

ESU 180
E$L 83
WSU 141
WSL 656
N 383
S 92

Total available: 1,535

How many unsold seats are not showing on the stadium plan?
Will the NW shelf be occupied for the first time for ages?
How big will the empty "sterile areas" be around the away fans?

If played today my guess would be tickets sold announcement = c. 28,400

Current weather forecast for Saturday is decent.
Prediction for Saturday = 29,056

Not a "sell-out", but not too shabby.

It will be way lower, I know at least 3 STH not going, which seems to be the norm now. About 26k in the ground I reckon.

 

[Simster]

Fulham has always been a fairly attractive fixture down the years. I don't know why that is the case for Fulham any more than say, Charlton or Brentford really.

I'm sure crodo will agree there will be a "bumper audience".

I'll go for 28,312.

26,000 for an Albion match where we are in a relegation battle from the Championship eh! Mental times!

Hugely impressive really, even if not everyone turns up.

I see Villa had their lowest home crowd for 15 years last night.

That can't be right. I'm sure i read somewhere that because we are in a relegation dogfight, our attendances are plummeting

The fact that we haven't actually played them since 30 November 1996 will probably draw a few people out as well. Must admit until I looked it up I didn't realise it would be as long as 18 years.

In fact that last time we played them at home was a month earlier and thanks to Hiney's programme site I can see that the attendance was 8,387

I wonder why it's never used? Seems like an excellent idea to get the kids from local schools in, but they rarely do it. One for Mr Barber to answer, I guess.

 

[brightonmark1234]

i feel the crowd that gets annonunce on sat might be right for a change

 

[Surf's Up]

I predict the attendance will be 36,747

I went to that game; it was 0-0 I think, and it was the first time I'd seen a lineswoman. Details.

Quite a few Fulham in the home terraces as I remember.

Where are those figures from? The club hold blocks of tickets back from the online shop

Depends on how easy it is for Fulham fans to get tickets other than the away end which they've already sold out.

 

[Bombadier Botty]

I personally don't see Fulham as a particularly 'attractive' or scintillating fixture, but will be good to see more buttocks on seats on Saturday.

 

[Napper]

We've always had a bit of a thing with Fulham.

Should be good saturday

I love this myth, that often crops up when a visiting allocation gets sold out, about hundreds of away fans buying tickets in home stands ... it rarely amounts to more than a few dozen, if that, and certainly won't do for Brighton v Fulham.

 

[Luke93]

Twenty 8 thousand, tree hundred & 20 two is what I reckon will be announced.

 

[jgmcdee]

Don't know the number but reckon it'll be the largest attendance of the season.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Should be a Twickers-like crowd with lanyard numbers well up on previous games

 

[perseus]

Can't get tickets near us for people who want to go according to the Stadium Plan. The row in front of me that was full last season and empty this now seems to be full for the first time this season (full most games last season).

 

[Poyningsgull]

Not as many as Christmas 1958
