Well done Barber

[Albion Dan]

Amazingly, there were 15 home ties for Championship teams today.

Some of the attendances were real shockers:

21740	Brighton v Newcastle
14463	Leicester v Burton
13693	Palace v Stoke
13198	Peterborough v Norwich
12370	Middlesborough v Hastings
12204	Bolton v Sunderland
11740	Derby v Tranmere
11462	Sheffield Wed v MK Dons
11447	Leeds v Birmingham
11293	Nottm Forest v Oldham
8585	Hull v Orient
6657	Charlton v Huddesfield
5364	Millwall v Preston
5091	Barnsley v Burnley
5054	Blackburn v Bristol City

Cracking game, cracking atmosphere, cracking attendance, living the dream, so glad I went.

We had the most attractive fixture in that list by a long long way. Especially considering our clubs recent history and lack of top flight opposition over the years.

Good attendance so soon after Xmas and live on tv.
It was fairly flat first half but great atmosphere for the second, helped by some good vocal support from the geordies

Blackburn a premiership club last year and 31,000+ stadium. 5054, what has gone wrong. It just goes to show how things can change.

5054.... that is just ridiculous. Terrible support.

You dont have a fecking clue.Do us a favour and carry on watching it on the box. You are sucking the air from the earth and not being charged for it.

Some great posts tonight, nearly spat my drink out on this one.

Unless my geography is well off, there's some local, enough, derbies with horrific attendances.

Your geography must be pretty poor to be fair.

Cracking atmosphere? Are you having a laugh? The atmosphere on the tv sounded awful and like being at a morgue.

I recommend you get your tv speakers checked out then mate because it sounded like The Amex was roaring on my box!

Yeah, plus the fact that all the fans of the other 14 teams probably stayed at home watch them on ITV...........oh wait!

 

[SeagullSongs]

Peterborough vs Norwich is a decent attendance for London Road to be fair!

Did you have your TV on mute?

Fairly local though. But good effort for London road I agree.

Is that attendance right for Peterborough? Never seen them have that kind of attendance before. Apart from when visited in 86

 

[brightonmark1234]

if we get a home game in next round can he reduce the ticket prices

 

[Justice]

Well done Barber if the tickets were a cheaper price for the cup so not well done from me.

Didn't you call them a lower prem reserve team, on another thread?

 

[Jim D]

Come on, why don't you have a try at answering that yourself? Unless (possibly) we're at home to Aldershot or Macc do you think he will - and why should he?

 

[bennibenj]

No I don't think he is. Whatever it sounded like on TV, I too thought the atmosphere was great, with the widest variety of songs I've heard at the AMEX.

Spot on buddy

 

[catfish]

Nowt wrong with the atmosphere today.

 

[Frutos]

Ignore - double post.

 

[Frutos]

Good atmosphere in the ground, apart from the Newcastle fan next to me in ESU who unsurprisingly contributed sod all and disappeared the second Hoskins' goal went in.

A friend of mine who watched on TV, having no knowledge of football and having never seen an Albion game in his life before, said it sounded "very loud" with particular reference to the stands song.

Burton & Leicester are just down the road, and Peterboro & Norwich isn't too far
