[Albion] League Cup Round 2 draw

[AZ Gull]

Not so sure. 15k Max I reckon. I’m pretty certain our highest attendance for a League Cup game at the Amex is approximately 17k v Gillingham - which was our first mid-week fixture played there, so understandable. Most have been below 10k. Can’t see any reason why we’d sell this out tbh.

16,295 for Gillingham

17,090 for the 1-0 win over Premier League Sunderland.

What round was Sunderland?

Sunderland was the 2nd round. We had 21,897 for the defeat to Liverpool in the 3rd round.

Considering Crawley have been to some big teams in cup matches, I'm not sure this would be a pull for much beyond their usual home crowd. It's an early League Cup tie. If it was the 5th round of the FA Cup then maybe.

I'm going to estimate wildly and loosely and say a total crowd of 15,000.

I think 15,000 attendance including 2k Crawley would be a decent attendance for an early round League Cup game. It may get more if it captures the public imagination but I’d say that’s the less likely scenario tho I’d love it if it made it into the 20ks.

Crawley are on a crest of a wave, two wins out of two even after losing all their best players this summer. They run a lower league version of our data operation and they just found good replacements just like that, very impressive. Scott Lindsey is a very good manager destined for higher things, the bookies like him for the Preston NE vacancy.

I’m sure we’ll play our squad team it’s in between very tough games Arsenal and improving Man U but our squad players are very good, in Japan dare I say it they even outshone at times the main guys: something like

Rushworth
Hinshelwood Igor Samuels
Offiah Baleba Ayari Adingra
Cozier-Duberry Enciso
Sarmiento

We're ball 5.

We'll probably get Brentford away or similar.

That's an extremely large sack is it not? If I were Brentford I would stay away also.

'You dirty northern bastards' was sung by the North Stand for most of the game.

Remember the first one . 5-0 , 18,000

[pasty]

Weird. With this draw it’ll be the first time in 50 years I live nearer our opponents ground than ours.

 

[HHGull]

I suppose it would be 'Sussex by the Sea'

“Good Old North (might as well be in Surrey) Sussex By The Sea”

How many tickets will we give Crawley do you think? (or must we) as Im sure they will bring thousands, took over 10k to Wembley so Im sure they wont have trouble selling tickets. As all games are televised then surely it will stay Tuesday 27th?

Daft question - who is televising them ? Website doesn't say and I'm out of the country for the match but would like to watch it.

For a biggish attendance, needs to be cheap ticket prices as on Sky Sports+.

Potential banana skin if the kids are fielded.

Have you seen the kids?

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

I went Tuesday night to their match with Swindon winning 4-2 courtesy of a Sky freebie...

Their second goal was a proper worldy and they played some good stuff albeit in patches....

Should be a good atmosphere as their fans seem pretty dialled-in and made plenty of noise...

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

What is Crawley’s equivalent to Sussex by the sea ?

10:15 Saturday Night

 

[Right Back]

If priced correctly it will be a big crowd. A record for us for the league cup?

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Fellas I reckon I, we, you should make an effort to get to this.

Tony has done his bit.

Let's give Crawley the allocation they ask for.

Let's price sensibly and market hard.

We can sell this out

'always hated those entitled seaweed fans'.

I smell palace.

 

[Hometownglory]

Palace was freezing cold start of January when no one has any money and it was priced as a Category A game. If I recall there was a train strike and we were already playing them twice in the league anyway.

What I’m saying is we have none of those factors for this game. Make it £20 an adult and kids for a tenner, give Crawley a large allocation and I think we’ll come close to a sell out

I agree. It would be great to have a real Sussex Derby feel about this game - without any trouble obviously.

 

[Wallace]

Did quite a few palace come down in 92 with Crawley ?

Why would Palace fans come down with Crawley? Palace fans live in Surrey, Crawley's full of Chelsea, always has been.

 

[HCxUK]

Crawley would hopefully be able to sell out the larger 4.5k cup allocation..

I'd imagine we'll be able to sell out the lower tiers and open one of the upper tiers - do they normally open WSU or ESU first?
