Will Leeds be a home sell out?

[kingcole]

The pre-match brief says a home sell out is hoped for, however there are nearly 350 tickets available online.

For this game we have not seen the 100 odd that make a late appearance in the SW corner and the ESU.

There is also more potential seats available to sell in the southern half of S1B (not all as some will be for segregation) and the same for the eastern half of S1G.

Would be great to have a packed Amex for the TV cameras. Had we been in a better vein of form or had Leeds been allowed the full 3000 allocation then this would have been a sellout days ago and I'm sure any tickets that would have come available via the exchange would have also been supped up.

Don't forget that anyone can watch it on tv. Hardly surprising that there is less demand to be there.

 

[somerset]

Doubt it, recent performances, evening transport, weather and live on tv might just have an effect, 25-26k I would say.

 

[banjo]

What with it being on sky and families still away for half term I don't think it will be a sell out.

Well we are flying back today to get to the game.

An onfire winning Albion will fill Falmer no problem but with it being on Sky and our poor recent run, the glory hunters will give it a miss so no sell out imo. I think we probably have more than your average number of fair weather fans tbh. This goes back to Goldstone days too.

Lucky we have so many season ticket holders otherwise I think that the crowds may start to fall away until we come out of this bad patch.

 

[Zebedee]

Considering our current poor run of form, and the fact that the game is being televised, we should probably be grateful for a crowd of 25-26K.

That was a very well planned break then. I'll be there with My boy He can't wait. The highlight of he's half term.

 

[Albion Dan]

At the end of the day 350 seats short of a sell out is still phenomenal and highly likely to yet again be the divisions highest crowd. Beyond any of our wildest dreams two years ago.

These are the reasons the people I usually sit next to will not be there tonight. They have passed their tickets on to JCLs.

Really ? I don't understand some fans. Were not even half way through the season and they've given up already.

No doubt the mass exodus from 80 mins will look bad on cameras again

Both of these ^^^^

 

[El Turi]

1 goal in the last 3 home games isn't going to encourage people to snap up the overpriced match by match tickets. A good performance and few goals tonight might help shift a few tickets for the upcoming home games.

 

[kingcole]

Evening games usually sell very well on the day of the match, however agree that TV, half term absentees, bad form and rotten weather may put off some of the normal last minute rush.

& revenue even higher than the others....

So money available for the elusive striker?

No. let it go

Gus is not gonna sign another striker unless it's a top quality proven goalscorer imo and that is likely to be out of our price range. We'll stumble on hoping for one of the ones we have come good or for CMS to regain his early season form.

I heard there was about 800 left yesterday evening.
