Good marketing ploy by the club eh? You can see them dishing out freebies to local schools etc for this one. Could be a bumper crowd imho. Great for the young lads too, give them a feel for the surroundings where they COULD be playing in a couple of years, hopefully giving them more hunger to succeed!
Where do they usually play out of interest? Is it the university?

I'd guess about a 5k crowd, very good for youth football.

If they've got any sense, they'll put the tickets on sale fairly cheaply and ramp the gate up to at least 10k.

Deffo go to that.
Hopefully they'll sell tickets cheap and early, so they know approx how many they will have there.

Saw us play a youth game at Villa Park a few years ago and there were a few thousand present, we lost 2-0 lets hope our new stadium and a home fixture reverses that.

We got approaching that at Withdean vs Chelsea when all hell broke loose. I reckon we could get a bumper crowd for this one.

Villa are one of those sides that seem to produce great youth players as well, hopefully we will see some faces for the future in both sides. We should definatly do a video team sheet for them all at the begining as well

Hopefully the club learnt from that and won't repeat the mistake of massively hyping the game, dropping prices, making it pay on the gate and only having half the staff and stewards working.
I was in the mass of people that end up being let in for free as the game was 10 minutes in and there were no sign of getting everyone through the turnstiles before half time! Stuck my ticket money in the buckets they sent round asking for donations though

I joined the throng that ran across to the south stand. It was rather amusing seeing hundreds dashing around the running track with a game going on.
I think that was the first time most of us saw Liam Bridcutt at Withdean.

POTG is not possible I think at the Amex, part of the conditions of the planning consent etc

Correct, which is why they should get tickets on sale ASAP, so that they can then see the demand (if any) for P+R etc.

They could make it free to all STH (credit our smartcards)
They would make the money on beer/food anyway to make it workthwhile.

Thought it was Worthing or Lancing College but not sure and probaly mixed up with the development squad.
And great opportunity for the youngsters to experience a big crowd. Think we may get more than everyone thinks, nobody thought we'd get more than 10k for the U19's game, yet ended up selling out. And local schools will get plenty
