Only 7000

You won't regret it. Unless your boss is there with Kazenga and he approaches you pointing and saying "that's the one, it's her"

Haha I was most careful to disclose only information that would have been publicly available to anyone else who'd been passing

I can't understand why, if you've got nothing better to do and it's geographically possible, you'd sit at home and miss the FIRST EVER game of football at a stadium we've all waited 14 years for.

It's an historic occasion, tickets are £10, you can see OGH in the stripes one last time and hopefully see the Albion lift a trophy at the end of it all...seriously, why WOULDN'T you go if you can?

because its the sussex senior cup final featuring a team of painters and decorators versus a team of albion players half of whom 90% of the crowd wont recognise

i can understand why people want to say "i was there for the first game", but to me the first time i see the place i want it to be full to capacity, blue and white everywhere and a league game where we smash somebody. not a cup final to decide a trophy from last season

The idea grew on me all week. Eventually bought a ticket yesterday. Now, I can't wait. 14 years and we'll get to see a Brighton team at a stadium that never seemed likely to happen.

On top of that, it's a chance to give Harty a fantastic send-off that the bloke massively deserves. If it wasn't for his contribution a couple of years back, we certainly wouldn't have been looking forward to Championship football now.

26000 in 1965 ish. I think it was against Notts County. They offered vouchers to the FA Cup game v Chelsea

Remember that well.

waiting for spurs myself although it is painful!

 

[Scotty Mac]

im not sure how that is a flounce, but carry on

 

[Washboard Didgets]

Waiting for a call from my mate in Brighton. If his cricket match is cancelled we are booking up and coming!

If anyone is sitting in MY seat you will politely asked to move! W3H ROW S...

I thought this was sold out. What a crummy ticket site. Now finding out it is not, I have tried to buy a ticket. When I click on stadium plan though, instead of being able to choose block and drill down to seat like the old system, I get taken to a page to change my details.


Is there some weird combination of frigging menus to go through?

 

[Marc1901]

Im really thinking of going but then again I don't wan't to, argh!

No, just confirm the details- change your password or whatever- click save and it will take you to the right screen.

THe biggest attendance for a reserve game that I can recall was Albion Reserves versus Notts County Reserves in 1967 when FA Cup tickets against Chelsea were on sale. I think the official attendance was around 20,000. Oh, and I think a guy called Frank Croney scored the only goal (for the Albion)

 

[Marc1901]

I really want to see the Amex under flood lights which it is bound to be today aswell.

 

[amexee]

Edna, thank you.

Got as far as selecting blocks, can you no longer select specific seats?

THIS

So so tempted. Thought it was sold out earlier in the week. Have no idea how to get there though. Brought a parking space for the season, but I dont think that covers today

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Edna, thank you.

Doesn't look like it, it shows you options for seats which you can then remove and start again, but I think it will keep offering you the same one until they're gone.

Good point-it's perfect conditions really.

 

[Lush]

TBH as a 'ramp up event', at which there are bound to be a few teething troubles that need taking care of, I would think 7,000 is just about perfect.

Where are you sitting? Was toying with the WSL as its the same price as the WSU and it'll give me a different perspective from my season ticket seat, then again it is pissing down and the front of the WSL will no doubt cop it. After years of soakings in the South Stand at Withdean, I'm rather hoping to avoid that outcome.

Hi Edna - well done yesterday at LGW! If you do go to the game today, could you please check out how many rows at the front of WSL are actually affected by the weather, and post the info? Many thanks - enjoy the match!
