Brighton and Palace used to get 25000 - 30000 in the 70's. Brighton have had a nightmare 25 years and get 26000 plus for Burnley in the second tier. Palace struggle to get 23000 for Spurs at home with at least 4000 spurs in the ground plus neutrals. Its great to support a proper club. What a moan to have, only 26000 / 27000 for Burnley in the second division, love it.

So irrespective as to what the attendance is, you will arbitrary say the attendance is 20,000, because you know best.

as much as this is a stupid argument, you know the official attendance is not the same as the actual attendance and there will be occasions with very large differences between the two. On one level I think its a shame that we'll never know the 'true' attendance at the Amex

Genuinely, what do Palace´s attendances have to do with yours? It's a shame your proper club didn't make it to The Prem at our expense, isn't it?

My annoyance with the original point I was contesting is at no point will the Amex be only 2/3rds full on Saturday.
A third of seats will not be empty.

But that still doesn't stop people spouting a whole load of garbage doing down and belittling their club.

What actually has to happen for some to say:-
'you know what I love the Albion, it's better than it's ever been, and im really proud to support the team along with tens of thousands of other people'.

A poor opposition , a disappointing start and a very wet day. 25000 announced but around 21000 actually there.

I have 2 tickets which I literally cannot give away. This is the same situation I had at Withdean. Offered them at £ 20 each, no interest. It is not just the ticket price it is the fact the Amex is an arse to get to and back and on a wet Saturday against Burnley with us in the bottom half of the table this was always going to be a a hard sell.

Odd. I had two tickets (my adult 1, and my daughter's under 10 season) available for Saturday and v through a friend I've managed to shift them in about 20 minutes. I guess it depends how you've 'marketed' your tickets.

There's still loads of demand in Brighton for tickets, at a reasonable price.

It all depends on which agenda you peddle.

I keep mine hidden
I'd like to be the same, but I can't just let bs slide by.

I bet it won't even rain tomorrow, and I've seen the weather forecast :lol:

Thanks for the snidey comments. Expect nothing less. Did a thread on here actually. You don't even have to sit next to me as I will sell both tickets.

Genuinely, if you don't understand that the poster has used another club with comparable attendances in the past to illustrate how well we are doing now then your are even more thick than the team that you support would suggest.
