Will brighton ever get a 30,000 crowd in the top flight?

[Return of the Rev]

Yes or no

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Yes or no

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Another Berkshire Seagull]

yes...next!

 

[BensGrandad]

Yes easily against the top sides like Man Utd ,City, Spurs, Arsenal etc not sure about Chelsea as they cant fill Stamford Bridge..

 

[daveinprague]

Of course they will.

 

[pauli cee]

erm... yes... would be a fair few in championship too i reckon...

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Easily, although 30% of the crowd would be cheering on United/City/Pool/theChels.

 

[catfish]

Planning permission allowing, yes.

 

[Braders]

erm... 31,000 capacity , I'd say many sell outs but probably attendances of 26,000-29,000ish

 

[Return of the Rev]

yes easily against the top sides like man utd ,city, spurs, arsenal etc not sure about chelsea as they cant fill stamford bridge..

can't see this happening,even with 30,000 capacity we would have 5% no shows

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

The new capacity is gonna be 30,750 isn't it?

We've never got within 750 of the current capacity with no seats lost to segregation so we're bound to lose more in the new set-up as there will have to be buffer seats between us and the away fans in both the south and east stands. c.29,000 will be the effective max.

 

[seagullondon]

If we change to the palace way of checking attendances

 

[Notters]

There'll be 78,000 at old Trafford so yes.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Easily, although 30% of the crowd would be cheering on United/City/Pool/theChels.

This

 

[philsussex]

Sans doute

 

[cloud]

They will all want to be ticking off a new ground

 

[Willy Dangle]

Along time ago back in the day when games were not ticketed and you had no commitment around season tickets we bagged 33000 paying on the gate. I know it was £1.50 but point proved I think. Albion 3 Spurs 1.

True, and 30750 is the absolute max, no telling we'd fit all them in bound I be 200 or so less.

 

[The Large One]

Highly unlikely.

"Glass is half full" thread.......................Why place such an emphasis on a 30,000 crowd figure. If we were firstly fortunate enough to get in to the pemiership and then secondly get crowds in the region of 29,500+ would anyone be moaning?

Can't help thinking that if we did start to pull in crowds of around 30,000 there would be several posting on here about all the JCLs and how they don't deserve to jump on the Albion band wagon...................
