[Albion] Brighton v WBA FA Cup 4th round Saturday January 26 (3pm)

[blockhseagull]

Because the 2 parties that run football in England will decide so. TV as they will possibly screen 1 game and the police especially The Met who will say they are pushed for men as some will attend Pompey. Because we are also at home they wont be able to borrow from Sussex.

So what about this weekend ?

Amazing .... what a gormless reply.... far more high profile games this weekend than in the FA Cup.

But won't your Saturday 3pm games be moved for overseas TV Coverage as per the 3rd round, so many of these will be moved to 12.30

Take a look at the games, which one will you want to watch as a fan bought up in China on the PL?
Newcastle (replay dependent) v Watford could go to 12:30
And there has to be something at 3pm to televise overseas.
Can you imagine the Asian market gambling on Doncaster v Oldham?

EDIT
Do BBC 5Live and TalkSport get any say in which games have to be played at 3pm for them to cover?

£20 per ticket. Fiver for kids. Free travel. Market it around town like crazy, (billboards, radio ad's etc). Tell WBA they can have as many tickets as they want.

Yes, we'll lose money on the gate, but we'll get loads of people coming for the first time buying a ton of merch and some of those will want to come back

For Coventry in mid Feb last season it was £18 for adults, £6 for kids. Free travel. Coventry had full allocation and it was nearly full. (27K).
Assuming its Saturday 3pm (might well not be) and with caveat that West Brom might not have as many coming as Cov (doubt they'll sell out) then wouldn't be surprised with a repeat/and a similar approach to pricing/travel/sales.

Never going to be these prices, we'd make a loss - I paid £7.00 to watch County League football this weekend.

To get a decent crowd, P&R / Trains have to be included, plus VAT comes off the ticket price.

It is of course a really good chance to reduce ticket prices, and get some people who perhaps don't get the chance to come along, especially with kids.

I believe Coventry was £18.00, but no transport included.

I'd go for £22.00 for adults to include transport.

We can make a loss - will be a drop in the ocean with our prem finances and guarantee a big crowd. I don’t think they will, but it’s just an opinion that would be a good price. Have done it before for this sort of price - few years ago but Villa away in round 4 (I think) was £10 all round.

Correct, as was the case in the 3rd Round when only 5 games had a Sat 3:00 kick off.
International agreement allows them to move more than 1 game as was the case with our game at Bmuff.
The same happened on Sunday.

The cost of this game will have to be creative when the Kick off's are announced.

That's how I understood it to be. Overseas tv games primarily the 12.30 games

I think that you are the one being gormless as the 2 high profile games have been switched to 1230 Saturday and .4 pm Sunday The rest are not games to expect trouble or serious crowd control. Ours certainly wont be nor I doubt Portsmouth v Blackpool or Palace v Watford.

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

QUESTION: i havent ever been to the Amex as a fan only on business. Can i as a home supporter just buy a ticket for this match or do i need to be a member of supporters club or something if i want to go and if so whats the process..thanks

You’ll need a fan number. Easy enough to sign up and get one.

Would be nice to get something back for the thumping they gave us last season.

I completely agree that there is little chance of crowd trouble at those 3pm games.

However there is also little chance of crowd trouble at our game with West Brom, so I fail to see the difference between this weekend and the FA cup weekend.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

It's about time that the FA announce any fixture date changes.

They need to *pull their fingers out* and *just get on with it*.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Have the club said when ticket, prices and game details are going to be announced.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Already THURSDAY and the FA don't know when the match is.

 

[Bob!]

Naylor reckons it will be 12.30 or 3pm on Saturday 26th.

But I think we all guessed that anyway.

 

[Ernest]

Man City v Burnley announced as 3pm Saturday so hopefully we will know soon
