Tickets Too Expensive And Chelsea Reserve Team

[beorhthelm]

Just because 17,000 + went today, it doesn't mean that they disagree on how silly the pricing was. I'm sure it was a good day out and worth the money.

erm... it sort of does mean they disagree, otherwise they'd not have gone. anyway, though i didnt go thogh choice, i have been chuckleing at all those who didnt go "because it will be reserves" who are probably kicking themselves now.

It must be rather galling for the moaners who couldn't be bothered or who thought £30 to see the European Champions was too much. I took the family - £120, but worth every penny. We had a FABULOUS day....something we can all look back on with very fond memories.

Exactly and to see Vicente play like that makes it good value

Too right! Vicente was worth £30 on his own!

6 hours on and I'm still buzzing. Can you spend £30 and get such a high?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Didn't go. £30 for a friendly is a joke. Anyone comparing it to the spurs game needs to remember that was our first team's first game at The Amex. Glad we won, promising result and encouraging performances. But that said anyone who is harping on about it being a day which is among our most glorious or that it will be one we look back on in years to come needs a reality check. All good but ONLY a friendly.

Got my Hull City tickets this week. Wonder how many of the smug fans going on about the stay-always today will be there.

I'm not sure I can take anyone seriously who can consider a friendly a 'magical afternoon'.

This.

 

[Gary Gurr]

I don't understand why so many are moaning at the price when the Spurs game last season was the same. Surely you knew what to expect or do you have the memory of a goldfish?

As I have said before on here the difference with the Spurs game was that the prices varied. I paid £21 for a seat in the North Stand for Spurs.

Yep I'll be there, not so sure about the smug though. I just had a thoroughly enjoyable day.

I know its ridiculous to compare, spurs put out a lot of reserves and won f*** all the season before, Chelsea won the champions league and had a team full of players who played in Euro 2012 ! Totally uncomparable

I for one will be at both the Swindon and Hull games.

Glad to hear you had a good day. I wasn't meaning everyone who went was being smug, just the ones going on about it being one of greatest results ever.

I dare say it was a fun game and that is great. We are all Brighton fans and just because I chose not to go that does not mean I wanted it to be crap. A good win, good run out and beating Chelsea can't hurt. Just not sure people should be getting so carried away or ( others, not you) should be so quick to rub others noses in it for deciding to give this one a miss.

Someone posted this was one if our greatest victories ever. Any single 3 points we get this season will mean far more.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I will never understand why Brighton fans have to be so argumentative with each other. Some fans went because they didn't mind paying £30. Others didn't because they thought it was too much. That's life.

Agreed. He would have graced Chelsea's midfield today. I had a look at some of Chelsea's forums this evening. One of their fans posted "Forget Hulk, sign Vicente" I can see Ambromich saying (in his Russian accent). "Vicente, I like him, Buy him!"

You absolute bastard Tony. If you've got shit loads of cash you should have been there today. Everyone else with shit loads of cash went today and I'm sure they'd love to tell you all about it if you've got a few minutes!
