[Albion] The "Frank Lampard's Derby Cup game - East Stand Upper + West Stand Upper OPEN
- Thread starter Bozza
- Start date
Afraid that is incorrect. WSU concourse is considerably larger and usually warmer because of the sun on the windows.

I was solely commenting on the concourse question, not what the view was like.
Well count yourself lucky you got some extra info

8 of us still waiting for West Upper. Ridiculous the club still haven't grasped what's going in for these cup games.

Judging by how quiet the North was for WBA, most had either gone elsewhere or taken the day off. I am hoping the Derby game will be a little controversial so as to get the crowd going a little.

Of course it’s bigger, there are far more seats than the east but the layout on the concourse are the same.
You can go on adding differences between the two, toilets are bigger, more kiosks, more gangway entrances but fundamentally the layouts are the same which is what I believe the OP was asking.

Combination of game being on TV, first Saturday of half term holiday and first day of the major Brighton Mainline closure (no trains from Three Bridges to either Brighton or Lewes) might just about provide the perfect storm for attendance figures on this one.

General sale begins in 90 minutes but there are still over 2600 for sale plus a further 2000 unreleased south stand seats.
A Derby pal of mine reckons they’ve only been given 1900 tickets. That seems odd I would have thought they’d sell 4000+ no problem. Or have we given them 15% of a reduced capacity?
It’s probably an initial allocation of 1900. I’m sure if they want them they’ll get the full 4500.
Edit: the Derby website says they have an allocation of 1700. I can only think it’s if Derby take 4500 tickets then they have to pay for them regardless of whether they sell them and they aren’t confident of selling them so have taken a smaller allocation.
Think this is correct - certainly been used as an explanation for allocations previously (like when Swansea bolloxed up theirs for their game here last season).

As [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] said, its the same date as Coventry last year (and slightly cheaper) and that had 27K .
Transport wise - yes - but There will be buses. and (i think) trains from Lewes to Falmer to Brighton and along south coast.
TV and lunchtime - maybe but its on BT sport not BBC One but all of this will put off some.
Some more factors is the 10 days to sell tickets, less time raise awareness that its happening , and the cost, for some, of having 4 home games in a row.
Also Derby (probably) unlikely to take their full allocation - (i think) Coventry did.

Waiting. East Upper please, not bothered if it's not my seat as buying 4.
1887 left now. Not bad for 38 minutes of general sale.

H block in the ESL and A block in the south now released adding a 750 lower tier sets
Any idea what level there're likely to reduce to before the upper tiers open? I believe it was the East first last time.
