Regardless of STH not showing, it will not hamper the overall attendance as it is based on tickets sold, not bums on seats, so I expect high 29k to 30100.

I've got and adult and concession ST and have brought 2 more tickets for my other children for plenty of games this season but night games are a real problem for children and parents too in some cases. If it was a sat/sun we would not be having this conversation.

So the kids might be a bit tired the next day. So what. This is Palace, with the chance of a trip to Wembley at stake. Games don't come much bigger than this. My boy is in the middle of his GCSEs but that didn't enter into it, you can resit exams; this game will probably never happen again and there's no way, no way at all that my boy would miss it.
Call me a bad dad if you want but some things are more important than school.

E1A starting to fill out, just out of curiosity what could the number of STH not being able to go ,for any reason, be? Could be a few seats gaping empty since there won't be enough time for the exchange to do its business. Then again can't be very many, if even a noticeable figure. Even if it is a Monday night in the rain.

There will be no ticket exchange for this game as all season tickets holders had to purchase their tickets. Same as a cup game.

Thank you. I really should have read more on the club website, stupid of me. :facepalm:

if u look at the weather forecast i dont think it will be a problem..

The weather forecast on BBC says there is high chances of rain between 1900 and 2100 in the Brighton and Falmer area.

2nd Year Uni exams start the day after the final (if we make it).

I've already had the conversation with my old man, and i'll be at Wembley if we make it. Sod exams.

I sold out in about 2003 when i first had my online commentary sponsored by Yazoo, until i learned of their Glasgow child labour camps in which all the non-understandable gingery freckled tearaways yanked off the shivering, half-drugged dromedaries that filled their enormous sandy warehouse in Govan. Then i upped my fee to a tenth of a penny per hundred posts. I don't sleep much any more.

STH no shows for this game = tickets not purchased and therefore re-sold.

Probably first occasion since Donny where bums on seats will broadly match the "official match day attendance" figure.

Silly old bat
Not necessarily, I know of a large number of people who were either on the auto renew scheme simply to get the loyalty points and then just choose whether or not to go to the games dependent on other circumstances.


Simply can't see that being the case tomorrow though.

They paid £30 for tickets just to get the points?
