[Albion] ESU and WSU open for Coventry game

[Moshe Gariani]

IMO the club still got this wrong, Coventry should have been given the ESU seats as then that section would have been full.

This would have allowed the Albion to have loud support behind both goals, thus giving us even more of an advantage and taking the advantage away from Coventry when they kick into the South goal.

And before you go on about our fans being under the Coventry fans, away supporters are put above home supporters in lots of other grounds.

The club would have dealt with this with respect as they do all other fans that come here.

The fans would have supported their team incident free.

The club missed a trick here.

Interesting thoughts. Coventry could in fact have had the whole of the East Stand. With the rest of the ground sold out to Albion fans that would have created quite a spectacle and atmosphere.

Interesting idea but I'd imagine there's a requirement, as in the EPL, to allow away fans to have at least some seats at pitch level.

Ironically that ruling, brought in to stop clubs tucking fans away in odd corners, behind pillars etc in dilapidated old stadia has worked against Coventry here; where they would have had the (2nd) best seats in the excellent new house!

Not club bashing at all. Constructive debate.

Now we are a PL giant this will happen again. What do people think about whether we should find a way of offering more than 4.5K to a team that wants to come for a big day out in the cup...? Coventry obviously had demand of 8-10K for this game - should we have tried harder to accommodate them?

Maybe let's wait and see how many Brighton fans buy tickets before the inquest starts?

Not club bashing at all, its all about opinions.

From Wikipedia:

"The West Stand is a three-tiered stand, which holds 11,833 fans, including 14 luxury boxes and the premium fans' 1901 Club. The East Stand (including the Family Stand) holds 13,654 fans, with 10% reserved for away fans during cup games."

So can I now buy my usual seats in ESU and bin my NS seats!

 

[Return of the Rev]

7 tickets bought esu able to buy 4 on each bronze member, ticket office reckon 22500 sold so far including covs. Sounds good

PHEW! I'll sleep easier tonight, knowing that you secured tickets in your much-desired location

 

[worthingseagull]

ticket sales seem to be going pretty well, I reckon this stand will 'all but sell out' after Stoke game and as the game approaches

Well that’s clearly bollocks too. The East is no way larger than the West.

What about Newcastle?

The West figures may exclude 1901?
