[Albion] Millwall vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Weststander]

If you’ve got a season ticket pretty sure you’ll get one. Last year both teams got 28000 tickets.

Can’t believe the FA allow 34,000 neutrals to get tickets for just an FAC semi final. Shirley the “football family” etc aren’t interested?

Just read this thread.

Stand by my comment that the team has a very negative approach engrained in them by CH now. No doubting the character though

127 points hints at not being a season ticket holder...

Mine have drastically dropped in the past couple of seasons, probably as bad as that, I'm still an STH though.

Middle tier is season ticket holders, that is a fair few thousand for starters.

And then the pundits will crucify them if they get it wrong. I watched it at normal speed and thought it was off. As did the commentators and the pundits. It wasn't a great decision but you can see why she got it wrong. Many other decisions such as the foul on Bernardo, the offside early in the second half and not to mention the fouls in the box where just very poor decisions.

Most lino's give themselves a breathing space of a couple of seconds before making the decision. She did not give herself any thinking time and got it completely wrong.

Wouldn't it be great if tv gave us the option of just turning off the commentary and listening to the atmosphere.

Or the other way around !

How come there were a few Albion fans in the bottom tier?
Even a few more at the end.

It was where the disabled fans were located

We were so bad today it was unbelievable but quality got us over the line

That’s 16,500, which Club Deck members are free to sell onto to eg ManC fans.

Leaving 17,500 for neutrals. FAC semi finals used to be clear cut only the fans of both clubs.

Wondering if the FA sell packages to (ManC supporting) tourists?

 

[Gazwag]

You have to wonder if anyone will ever own up to leaving the game on 85 minutes to get the train...

The was somebody in our row who left and was on the train when Solly scored. He managed to get off and run back again.

Some became able when we won the pens. The miracle of football.

The pundits will, of course, always crucify someone or other as most just like to hear themselves speaking.

There were some absolutely shocking decisions today but fortunately they didn't affect the final outcome !

Didn't realise that (not a STH myself) - thought all holders would have a healthy balance. Previously, did they allow STH to get another ticket for someone else? If that's the case, then the 28,000 will get snaffled up pretty swiftly. Ah well, I guess I'll probably have to watch it on TV. HOWEVER... we'll be the underdogs this time so maybe the BBC will be willing us on!

I’m pretty sure that Peter Jones, Brackley, Tyler, Sinstadt, Brian Moore did/do simply commentate on what’s before them.

Exactly what I was saying very recently. Martin Tyler (who sounds a lot younger than his 73 years) is the best commentator for that very reason.

The others are like watching a game down the pub and having a couple of blokes behind you talking all the way through and putting their own spin on the game!

Not sure how long Tyler will carry on... will certain miss his.... "and it's live" when he stops!!

Disabled!
Watch them jumping around hugging each other at the end.
2 miracles in one afternoon, you don't often see that.
I know, before anyone has a pop, not all disabilities are visual.

I should imagine STHs can buy more than one yes.
