Sky Commentary Box

[Ronnie]

I heard a few weeks ago that originally Albion were to receive 1800 tickets but this was reduced to 1600 because Sky wanted some. I assumed this was for sponsors etc.
Couldn't believe it when I arrived at the ground to find that the 200 tickets Seagulls supporters could not get were in fact to accommodate the Sky commentary box. Yet again away supporters are treated with contempt. There were loads of other places they could have used including one of the hospitality boxes behind the dugouts.

just means 200 more would've been f***ed off at the end!

Although it's easy to feel annoyed about it, in reality there is probably not many places it could have gone in the ground. The club aren't going to deprive home supporters of seats and rightly so. I doubt there would be space on the executive box side. Although it's a shame, the 200 extra fans that could have been there are far outweighed by the amount of people who could watch it on TV thanks to Sky being there.
