Is that North Stand Or East Upper Stand?

Why are you so interested on what I posted on #12

Have you noticed the difference between the sensible and relevant comments on this thread and your infantile contributions? If you really haven't got anything of value to add, then your obvious course of action is to . .

Yes, does seem strange, as I am sure that the Albion during the Withdean era said that that there were 20,00 fans on their database, even if quite obviously not all attended every match. As the saying goes, if you build it, then the punters will turn up. Personally I had no doubt that this would happen - take the example of Southampton -the Dell held 17,000 odd max and yet the crowd virtually doubled after the move.

To be honest, I think it worked out well for the club, either by design or good fortune, because of the capacity, quite a few people bought a season ticket first season, just to make sure they got a ticket for the opening game at the Amex, I am sure a lot continued with a season ticket that perhaps they might not have ever had if we had had a capacity of 30,000 from day one.
 




Im in Thailand so not been seat counting this week. The only mass of seats are in S1D with just a few hundred elsewhere. Note that Readings allocationis 700 less than Newcastle and over 1000 less than Villa/Norwich. Had there beena similar number of away fans this time it would have already sold out.

Saying that, today is payday for many. Add in match day sales I still think it will see out. Maybe the front row disabled seats too.

Gutted not to be going

I know a couple of people who are not going as the britfloyd are on at the centre and therefore they are watching the game in the pub on west street.

Wouldn't surprise me if there are gaps in the crowd on Saturday given the stupid ko time and it's on sky.

209 left in S1E and a handful left dotted around elsewhere. Looks like are on a for a paltry high 28, low 29,000 crowd. It is fairly pitiful.

To me it certainly seems they pitched the ground size spot on. In a situation as good as it can get, winning most weeks playing exciting stuff and right in there, we still struggle for 30k. Excellent planning.

Why do we have two home games and two away games. I know the Newcastle is rescheduled, but there are plenty of occasions coming up where there are two and two.

Because there is also a policy of trying to alternate Saturday home and aways.

There would be plenty of unhappy NSCers if we got into a stretch of games where all the home ones were midweek and all the away ones were Saturdays.
