[Albion] Chelsea 6k allocation

[Drpepper]

Sorry if its been mentioned but ive only just seen that we have given Chelsea 6k allocation for saturdays game.

Is this the biggest away allocation given at Amex? With the poor result yesterday, the timing of this match and how slowly its selling i think there is going to be alot of chelsea in the home ends aswell. Not good

Only silver lining to the late KO is fewer Chelsea fans will be tempted to attend. I know I thought twice about going being based in London.

Most Chelsea fans live in Redhill or Woking though. There’s probably 1k in Crawley.

Yeah, awful descision from the club. Half empty home stands, 6k scum behind the goal and loads more with home tickets. It will get proper grim if they go a few up. On the bright side though, even sweeter if we win.

Should of played the game at Stamford Bridge, we would of had more fans there , than will be at the Amex

What’s the awful decision? To give them 6k? At least that limits the number in the home end.

Disagree. At least they have to sit down and shut up in the home end.

I think the highest away attendance at the Amex so far was the 4,934 from Liverpool for the 4th round FA Cup tie on January 29 2023.

Arsenal had a fair few down for the cup tie, Ulloa’s debut.

Think maybe the poor home form is starting to turn a few fans off?

Dreadful home form, 7-0 walloping on Saturday, injury prone squad in disarray and the potential (though this would need us to play well) for the game to finish at 10.45 with only one main line service possible to connect onto. And it’s on telly.

Feel free to use any of that in a cheery promotional poster Paul. No charge.

I am not sure a poor game on Saturday can be blamed for an allocation decision taken a week or so ago.

It obviously can’t but it won’t help us sell our tickets, which will justify that allocation internally, where they’re just looking at bottom line figures.

Giving Chelsea 6k really could come back and bite the club (PBOBE) on the arse. Last time that many came down was August 83.

Very true but those who were waiting for payday at the end of Jan might now be reconsidering.

Looking on the bright side it will soon be spring.

P.S. If, as you say, Chelsea have been given an allocation of 6,000 why would they want to be in the home ends? By the way, for FA Cup ties the away club is entitled to 15% of ground capacity - that’s 4,770 for the Amex. On the basis that Chelsea are taking up the whole of the South Stand and corners an extra 1000+ is no big deal. We’ll all get over it if we win and won’t give a toss if we lose.

Better still, why not Wembley? A good rehearsal for when we reach the semis and the final.
