I highly doubt it, 4 sets of fans at one ground means limited tickets for Sussex in the first place.

 

[BensGrandad]

Really glad Sussex have won - it means there will be more tickets for pay on the gate fans at Brentford.

Brentford is all ticket for away end according to the ticket office

Now that is how we bounce back from Saturday!

Face it, we were awful... but they were even worse !

WHAT

So the question is ....do we go in the home end or pay £10 to join a scheme I paid £10 for a lifetime membership for only a few years ago.

Just checked the official site, it says "Any unsold tickets will be available on the day of the game at Griffin Park". So hopefully we will have tickets left over for pay on day fans.

I went to the finals in Edgbaston in the early years of Twenty20. Massive fun, but I don't think I shall be going this year. I would rather spend £50 odd watching Brighton on my doorstep than spending £150+ watching Sussex in a porn show.

They could ask Brentford, but I very much doubt that they will move the game. Ultimately, it is up to the Griffin Park bigwigs.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Would we postpone a home game against Oldham if Lancashire got through to finals day? Of course not, so there is no chance Brentford will.

thankyou for clearing that up.

I guess it will boil down to lost revenue. If they think that we would not bring sufficient people due to the finals day and we could convince them that they will miss out, then it may be a goer. But I do not think we stand a hope in hell. I am sure the club will investigate.

With a tie relatively close (geographically) I am sure we stand a greater chance than the examply you gave.

Possible clash - Brentford away Edgbaston Twenty20 Finals Day - North Stand Chat

Is the club talking with Brentford about the possibility of rescheduling the game at Griffin Park in the event of Sussex reaching the Twenty20 Finals day at Edgbaston?

Firstly, at this point in time, Sussex have not qualified for the finals (although hopefully they will). Secondly, it's an away game. The onus tends to lie with the home club on these sort of things. We switched the Crewe game three years ago because we were at home (and with Crewe's agreement) were able to to so as it would have had a severe impact on the gate (remember in 1993 the club didn't switch and suffered one of the lowest ever Saturday gates at the Goldstone Ground, although not quite as low as Mansfield in 1996/97). I'm sure some Albion fans will prefer to watch Sussex in the semi-final and possibly final (if they get there) but it is unlikely to have a huge affect on the gate, so Brentford will not want to upset their supporters with a switch to Friday night (Russell is unlikely to want a Sunday, with the Huddersfield away match already on the Tuesday). Equally, there are our supporters, who are not interested in cricket (or would prefer to watch Albion at Brentford on the Saturday).

I have mentioned this with the powers that be, but I think it's extremely unlikely the game will be switched. On a personal note, I will be at the quarter-final at Hove, but regardless of the result, will be at Griffin Park watching the Albion (and following Sussex via Sky Sports if poss).

Fair play, our bowling was sensational there. Spin/slow bowling is definitely the way to go in 20/20 and in Yardy, Rory, and Wat Beer we've got three good ones.

Spot on - I said to my mate Terry as much as the interval. Just need to find a pub in the brentford area that's gonna show the cricket.

[Dave the OAP]

We've got 1800 tickets for Brentford. Surely we'll sell that out finals day or no finals day? I just can't see Brentford being willing to mess thousands of people around for the sake of a few hundred who would like to do both.

so now you "just cant see" as opposed to " there is no chance"

Don't undersell yourself...your original argument and had me totally convinced i am now terribly confused.

Ah well...off to bed.
