[Albion] Bournemouth Sell Their Allocation - Tickets Left for Home Fans

[dougdeep]

Who next, Plymouth. Its a couple of hours from Brighton, if you support the Albion from Hastings then its nearly 3 hours away.

What the hell do you drive?

 

[Notters]

With bums on seats around 21,678

if that.

just hope we turn up and put in a really good performance and get behind the boys and make the atmosphere as it was for the Leicester game as the atmosphere for that game was the best its been for a long time

The atmosphere on new year's day tends to be dire as everyone is hungover and there are loads of empty seats.

Bournemouth's allocation was 2,000 - same as all other away sides this season

Almost every team has been given 1,200, not 2,000.

It takes ages along the coast? It's dual carriageway most of the way so takes about 90 mins. The only difficult parts are around Chichester and Worthing.
Rotherham to Derby is much closer in fact, less than 40 miles, so not a comparable distance.

90 minutes my arse.

I make this journey for every home game and my best time so far is 95 minutes after an evening game....and that's really going some! On a Saturday afternoon it's more like 135 minutes!

That's quite impressive. I usually reckon 2 1/2 hours; then they've got the park and ride to deal with. Portsmouth took nearly 2 hours on Friday as the traffic was so bad.

On a average Saturday it's 1 hour from Bournemouth to Chichester, another hour to Coldean Lane and 15 minutes to Mithras House. My 95 minute run relies on decent weather, an empty A27 and a Mini Cooper S!!

 

[Billy the Fish]

I drive to Bournemouth quite often for work and it's usually 2hrs give or take from Burgess Hill, as long as I don't hit Chichester at rush hour. I go via Storrington so it avoids the really crap bottlenecks at Arundel and Worthing, if you're going to Brighton that way it's going to take longer on a saturday.

It's on news years day, there will be too many with hangovers from the night before to want to shout and sing.
So guess it will be a quiet affair.

Other teams would also have had the option of 2,000 tickets if they had sold their initial allocation

Indeed. But they've also reported that they've "sold out" their allocation of 1,200 on several occasions.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Good that they have sold out their allocation. May boost the atmosphere- I usually find New Year Day matches have a hangover feel about them so maybe this one will be different.

 

[Footsoldier]

What time is kick off on new years day as that could have a bearing on the atmosphere.

3.00

Should be enough time for peoples hangovers to wear off. Remember the last time I attended on new years day it was at withdean and a midday kick off and felt so rough.

Matt Ritchie to run the show

We need to give him an Adam and Rohan sandwich early doors, ex pompey scum.

Need to show him that his one man show was a fluke

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Will there now be a late rush for tickets after today's win ?

 

[brightonmark1234]

asked a bournemouth fan and got this back on twitter Sorry I took my time! We have sold our allocation of 2000 for Wednesday. It should be a good atmosphere

Nice One. It should be a good atmosphere.

I love that a two hour drive could be considered a local derby. I live in Warwick and reckon about 2 hrs to leeds. I am sure both cov city and leeds consider that a local derby.

Cardiff is about two hours too. Cardiff vs villa is the local derby everyone is talking about.

It's not always a question of geographical proximity - Arsenal and QPR, for example, are just a few miles apart but there's no local rivalry to speak of. Because Brighton and Bournemouth are similar types of town - both big, prestigious South Coast resorts - there's an obvious rivalry that extends way beyond football.

Bit like the Pompey/Plymouth thing. A long way apart, but because of the navy connection, there's a deep-seated and historical rivalry.
