Still an obscene amount. It's a Sky game, we will get a lower gate as it is.

650 miles and 5 days later another 500miles and an overnight after utter devastation at missing out to GD. And we didn't sell out by what 100-200 tops? Rather unique example.
Would be interested to see fan miles this year with the loss of MK and Charlton.
how many ST holders are going to turn up ?

Is that all? Clearly they won't need the extra. Where you find this out?
Guessing as an evening TV game there will be slightly higher no shows than normal, say 15% or about 3500.
It is slightly disappointing that there are still hundreds of tickets left -I am sure that would not have been the case, had it been on a Saturday. but that is life these days. The fact that I write this does of course show how high our standards are now -anything other than "sold out" seems odd. With doubts about the trains and the fact it is on Sky, and likely to be cold, then several thousand will be missing. If we have 27,000 including SW fans, then that will be a good turn-out, all things considered. I don't think that the atmosphere will necessarily be less, as it is likely that those missing, by and large, will not have been the most vociferous anyway. the die-hards present will always be there to cheer the team on.
Friday evenings have generated a good atmosphere in the past.
The main reason this has not sold out is due to the poor away support compared to some recent games. Those with bigger away support like Villa and Norwich had a circa 3200 away allocation. Fulham had about 3000. Even if Wednesday had shifted as many as Fulham had taken, the game would have already been sold out!
I see what you are saying about the away support, but that would not explain why in the home areas, there are still hundreds available, and I suspect that a few thousand will not come due to trains and TV. hope that I am wrong, though!

The tickets we have already sold in E1H would have to have been accommodated in other areas of the ground. This basically saps up all the current surplus
Every night game you get a fair few no shows due to the travel issues and the many fans who live outside Brighton.....nothing changesIt is slightly disappointing that there are still hundreds of tickets left -I am sure that would not have been the case, had it been on a Saturday. but that is life these days.
