[Albion] Europa League / Conference League - 3 match STs for the group stages.

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Do you think it's like the Sussex Senior Cup?

Good idea, lets field a team of legends for it from Blooms era. Like Gary Hart (was it his last game for us at the Amex?) and Calderón.

I doubt it. There was another thread saying that the number of tickets required by UEFA means there would be very few, if any tickets being available for non STH. Even STH may have to move seats.

Sorry, I didn't word my original post very well.

What I meant was, will there be an option for existing STHs to buy a three match bundle of tickets for our group games....

 

[Easy 10]

I would assume, like any other Cup game, that STHs will have a window to secure their own seat for each individual game before it goes on general sale.

There's no reason whatsoever to expect STHs to cough up for all 3 games in advance.

Oh, I see. Again though, I doubt you would get a discount because a European campaign is supposed to generate revenue for the club to be competitive. There would also be no shortage of demand for tickets so no need.

With all the big bonuses going to players and staff would it not be a nice gesture from club for ST holders to have one of the home games free

Yes, Hart scored the first ever competitive goal at the Amex. Might have been a record attendance for the competition but not sure.

See, now I was joking. Maybe we could petition to be allowed bottle tops for European ties?

May not be the case any more but the front rows often had to be blocked off at UEFA games because of bigger advertising hoardings restricting views.

It’ll have to be on a Thursday evening. We’ll know the homes and away dates very early. Kick off times will be either 19.30, 19.45 or 20.00.

I may be wrong but don’t some games kick of at 17.45.

I went to a couple of Europa League games in Germany this season that were 18:45 local KO so taking into account the -1hr, yes. I 'believe' early UK kick offs are 18:45 local? I stand to be corrected - it's late and I can't be arsed trawling through results to check.

No need.

Our first ever European games, each will be a sell out.

Even on a Thursday night? West Ham were only getting 30k in the group games

They’ve kind of had a turnover of fans in leaving the small Boleyn. To fill the athletics stadium they brought in deals to bring in newbies, families and initially the suspicion was crush Orient at the same time.

This may be a one off in Sussex, so imho there’ll be a load of interest. Ticket price permitting. We virtually fill it for plenty of weekday nights in the season, subject to the old prettendance trick started by Arsenal.

Books of tickets might be a blunder, in that people might grab them, then not physically attend one or two games.

HALF of all group stage games overall kick off at 5.45

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022–23_UEFA_Europa_League

whether that discounts English teams I am unsure as we are so far west in the continent but can't rule anything out

I have found instances of Celtic and Arsenal kicking off in an early slot but their games were moved for other reasons so fingers crossed British teams are exempt from home games in the early slot

Having seen the absolute BARGAIN of 3 x Europa home league games for £100.00 I think the club have got this spot on.

Yeah, mine's £85 for the 3 (WSU) so I'm not going to complain about £28 per game. Plus its an early OPTION, you don't have to take it up. As you say, the clubs played this right.

 

[Napper]

I'm in .... as long as Barber doesn't penalise if cant make one of the 5:45 KO's (if there is one)

 

[Beach Hut]

£85 three match home package, absolute bargain

 

[East Staffs Gull]

Excluding travel?

Almost certainly - I believe the deal with GTR only covers league matches.
