FA Cup Fourth Round Draw - Albion will play Swansea City or Arsenal at the Amex

[Vegas Seagull]

I can't see how United at home to either Fulham or Blackpool and Luton away to Norwich could be seen by either ITV or ESPN as more appealing than our tie. If United were drawn away and Luton at home then maybe

ITV (Advert supported) will pick the biggest supported club in the World 1st pick every time for the rest of history

Doubt it, whilst Arsenal might bring an extra 1,500 compared to Newcastle, can't expect people who could not afford to watch us against Newcastle to find the money for Arsenal, and many people will be skint as near the end of the month. The Albion are not going to reduce prices, so probably about 23,800.

Might
Arsenal will sell all 4,000 entitlement & another 6,000 it goes on open sale

 

[The Birdman]

I have a wedding on the 26th (not mine) so I praying this tie is moved to Monday night!

Think all the fans who travel hundreds of miles to home game. Should move back to Sussex, only joking

 

[Guy Fawkes]

It's ITV and ESPN, they could not give a shit about the romance of the cup, it's just viewing figures that matter.

And the romance of the cup might encourage more to watch the game on TV than if it was a Championship club vs a top flight club such as the Albion vs Swansea

whenever it is, i just hope my wife doesnt go into labour near that weekend, due on the 31st

Due date is irrelevant, chances are statistically the same for all days 14 either side of the 'date'...Hope this helps!?

 

[The Birdman]

Wenger was very supportive towards our campaign for the Amex, he should be well respected for that and applauded for it.

So we can't chant you going to be sacked in the morning?

 

[brightonmark1234]

arsenal will get the whole south stand side of the ground

 

[Jim D]

So nobody thinks that Brum/Leeds v Spurs or Oldham v Liverpool are worth showing?

 

[BensGrandad]

Perhaps you could get the allotment AGM moved for TV!

Impossible as there are too any oldies who are not interested in football only the odd shaped ball or cricket I would stand more chance approaching either the TV companies or FA or reluctantly miss the AGM and send wife in my place.

 

[natterjack]

Come on Swansea!

I cannot agree i think it will be the first genuine sellout totally rammed,remember 1988 the clamour for tickets will be immense,whatever the price...

Leeds - Spurs yes then no to the other options.

Brilliant, the ex is an Arsenal fan and the mother-in-law is from Swansea

 

[Change at Barnham]

Am I right in thinking that the visitors are entitled to 15% of the capacity if they can sell the tickets? Therefore if It's Arsenal could they potentially bring 4500? Which I guess would fill the south stand and maybe part of the East (south).
It's also a big advantage to us that both Swansea and Arsenal have midweek games in both of the previous two weeks, including a league cup semi-final for Swansea against Chelsea on the previous Wednesday.

 

[8ace]

Should have beaten them too

 

[Djmiles]

i wish it was the other way around away to arsenal or swansea

You'd rather travel 250 miles each way to see us get dicked on at Swansea? I think you're on your own....

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Brilliant, the ex is an Arsenal fan and the mother-in-law is from Swansea

Who does the current one support? .............waits

 

[Tomnorthi]

How do you get from Brighton to Swansea and back for less than a fiver?

Swanseas ticket prices would of been lower than ours I would of thought?
Wouldnt mind paying slightly more for a new ground and a trip to Wales.
