[Albion] The club and the Palace game

[Aveacarlin']

Why are they not advertising it in their emails? Why are tickets £25? Why are there only five loyalty points? The club are hardly going out of their way to get people to attend this fixture. I wonder why.

If by 'they' you mean the club then I apologise as I have misinterpreted what you have written. I thought 'they' was aimed at supporters.

More disappointed with our fans that seemingly don't want to watch us play our rivals. Cup game and weakened sides or not... our rivals are our rivals surely ?

I'm surprised it hasn't sold more. There seems to be many posters who moan they have limited opportunities to watch the Albion play because of the season ticket waiting list, loyalty points, etc... plus it's a game verses our rivals as you say. Because of the slow sales I've managed to get a seat next to a few mates in the West Upper, and I've never been there before so should make a nice change from my regular seat in the East!

Unless people are being put off by the game time? It's on TV too, which can't help.

No, the club. I just get the feeling that a full attendance at this game would be too much of a ball-ache for them to deal with, especially given what happened last time.

Tkts should have been £15 and £5 for kids

...and 15 loyalty points.

Totally off limits, although one of your toughies tried to push a Palace Down's syndrome fan down the stairs at Haywards Heath train station.
Scumbag.

Agree with you there. All clubs have vermin.

Apparently plastics since '77 aren't required by some... so me & My season ticket will stay in Plymouth & support the money that BHAFC enjoy/need from TV exposure [emoji847] üTA [emoji106]

Why reduce ticket prices at all ? (they are up to 50% off matchday prem prices depending where you sit)
Why include travel in the ticket price (unprecedented for a cup game)
Why send every ST holder (and past purchaser of a tickets) reminding them tickets were on sale.
Why promote it in the programme, the website, on Twitter, and every comms channel.
What advantage is there to the police or the club if the crowd is 23K , 25K or 21K or 30K. Exactly same issues managing the 2K or so of Palace fans and the # of Albion fans (a tiny minority if any who want to cause trouble) regardless of size of crowd.

the conspiracy theories on here!!.

Sell one of your batting trophies and meet us in the PA

Batting trophy ?

Mate, you're a better batsman than me. I can't do a cow corner carve like you.

That's how close I've got to winning one of those.....

I love the 'bad fan' accusations. As if BHA is a brain washing cult. Well...

I went to the league game and that was enough. I have a lot of work to do, it's a Monday evening and it's on the box. There won't be the atmosphere that there was at the last one.

I also wanting to save an unnecessary 25 quid.

I'll hang my head in shame. Very briefly until I realise that I actually have a life.

Ah, we have a new winner for the smug excuse table:

- Has life

 

[chaileyjem]

Has the club communicated this? They would if they actually wanted people to attend.

Yes. They have. Do they want people to attend now in your view ?

 

[The Gem]

Go F.u.c.k. yourself you pious little shit. I've hardly missed a game home and away this season and supporter for over 40 years.

If I choose not to go to a glorified reserve game with all the hassle associated with it then that is my choice but I feel no reason to hang my head in shame. Some people on her really need to grow up over this match.

Hahahaha priceless.

But what about the other reasons people are choosing not to go
- Monday night
- travel
- on tv
- 2nd string teams
- fa cup reputation/not a prem
Game
- police/palace fans hassle

It’s attractively priced . (£25 including travel is a steep discount on the match day price). Reducing prices further might tempt a few more but doesn’t solve any of the above.

I agree there are many reasons that people are choosing in order to not attend, but a cheaper ticket would, imo, definitely have upped the crowd significantly.

Serve free beer all night and the AMEX will sell out.

Monday is the killer. Any other time this weekend, including Friday night and I’d have gone. If it was full price and 2nd string i’d still have gone, although felt a little cheated. But Monday night is just crap if you’re not local.

At least the trains should be easy on Monday.

Isn't there a train strike on Monday too?
