It was on Amazon Prime - at the same time as other PL matches. It will have had viewing figures in low hundred thousand viewers if that .Millions. It was on tv.
Many more will have watched MOTD later that night though.

Indeed.my opinion i was amazed so many were insider it looked between 20k to 25k perhaps in the middle there. It was a stack of hassle getting there and i wouldnt be surprised if the real bums on seats inside the Amex was known it was that low. Well done everyone however you follow the club i dont judge you or regard you any more or less a fan whether you came in person tonight watched on Amazon or otherwise. Thanks to you all because it would have been a dull atmosphere inside on my own and had I watched on Amazon it wouldve looked and felt weird seeing noone inside.
must just of been the usual not getting the email and not paying attention at the time then. sorry for upsetting you so much you felt the need to go to all that trouble. I wasn't bothered enough about it to try at the timeKnew I was right on this so even bothered to find it - Albion+ holders got tickets and there were loads left after P4 - 100%:
Actually convinced I was right so thought I’d check and confirm it which I was - didn’t sell out to STH:
[Albion] - Man City (h) ticket ballot
We’re in Priority Group 2, so have a good chance of getting tickets. The email doesn’t say anything about the bars. Presumably they will be selling alcohol?www.northstandchat.com
It was shown all over the world. I’m not just referring to Britain. DAZN, Peacock, Opta Sports, Sentanta, etcIt was on Amazon Prime - at the same time as other PL matches. It will have had viewing figures in low hundred thousand viewers if that .

Ease off on the criticism dear boy. Many thousands of us who would have made the game couldn’t because of the train shambles. Within our ‘supporter group’ of ten, who attend just about every game, only two could go as they live locally in Hove. For those of us that live some distance away we might have been able to get to Brighton but absolutely zero chance of getting back home. That does not make us bad fans.As I said on the match thread, it was disappointing so many could t be arsed. That said, like the Boxing Day Brentford match or the Man City home win (where there were tickets available to anyone), the loyal home fans got a good night. It’s disappointing from some - support the lads.

I take offence and I fall in the former.Not sure on the exact arrangements but my mate got a train from London then one of the shuttle buses from Brighton? I think there were a number who just couldn’t be arsed I’m not going at specifics - if London was a no go clearly my mate lied to me about how he got there leaving at 5 I did say some would have been f***ed by it but some just couldn’t be arsed - anyone taking offence to that opinion prob falls in the latter
Exiting the uni car park seemed particularly bad last night.Indeed.
I left the house yesterday at 2.30pm, in order to get the Hove in time for the lift I’d arranged at 5.30pm. After waiting to the whistle, and then sitting for an age in the Uni car park, we finally got home just after midnight. I was lucky to have enough leave left to take the afternoon off work. Without that I physically could not have made the game last night.
You'd have to question someone who would decide to bin off The Albion over a Christmas party. My office party this year is on the day of the Marseille game, I was ecstatic that I had a cast iron excuse not to go to Donetello's this year.Also:
- Christmas party/event season.
- Live on a service most have access to, or can acquire cheaply.
If the ticket exchange had been open tonight, I may well have put my tickets up for sale and allowed the ticket exchange gods to decide my fate. If they'd sold, I'd have watched from home, if they hadn't, I'd have taken them back and gone.
What I do think, though, is Saturday will be a bumper crowd and a cracking atmosphere.
Everyone knows that’s bollocks! Attendance/Pretendence is always based on ticket sales not bums on seats. It’s an absolute guarantee that for a PL game attendance will never, ever dip below 23,000 even if there’s a plague of locusts over Falmer.Official pretendance of just over 30k. What are the arguments about? Apparently everyone turned up!
Match report says 30,760 (right at the bottom).

I'd say Littlehampton in the West and Horsham in the North.That is ridiculous... I was at the match and was amazed that so many did make it (two thirds full). Surely you know the majority of our fans don't live in BN1? Our catchment stretches to Hastings in the east, to Worthing in the west, and Haywards Heath to the north.
The entire row to my right was empty. Was it something I said?
Less than 20,000?
I left Oxford (work thing, don't live there) at 3pm and just managed to get there in time.I left work at 3pm and arrive 5 mins after kick-off. first time it was worse getting there, then getting home.
Even with that - the live audience wouldn’t be in the “millions”Worldwide audience?
Why does the weather keep getting thrown in?Considering weather, on TV and no trains I thought attendance was v ery good. What was queuing for buses like ?
