Will the Arsenal game sell out?

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Albion welcome one of English football's giants in the 4th round of The FA Cup

But:

It's live on TV
Its on a Sunday
Full priced tickets.


Poll to follow

 

[Black Rod]

It will sell out - but there will be far, far more Arsenal fans there than 4,500

 

[Hampster Gull]

Yes, easily, despite the Tv, the price, the transport, the pies, the selfie sticks, the stewards, the sunday pm kick off, PB, no striker, lack of quality players, almost certain defeat, trouble buying tickets etc

 

[BensGrandad]

I am going but I am sure that some long distance travelling supporters may settle for the TV.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Quite looking forward to the important league game against Ipswich the previous Wednesday

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Might be similar to the Newcastle cup game that was televised, less than 22k turned up, I'd expect more for Arsenal but possibly not a sell out

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

According to the BBC the last time we played this fixture the attendance was just over 27,000

This. Remember, these prices are very very cheap for an Arsenal fan of which there are thousands in Sussex looking to see their beloved team at the Amex at a bargain price.

Seriously not looking forward to this game,they have 4 risk groups and we spent the whole of the last game splitting up fights between themselves.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

My guess is that it will sell out.

With our dismal league season so far, and only a fool's hope of reaching the playoffs, this is likely to be the 'biggest' match at the Amex for a while ( well, until round 5, of course.... )

 

[Captain Sensible]

According to the BBC the last time we played this fixture the attendance was just over 27,000

That was before the corners were filled.

 

[Easy 10]

Six times over.

We should switch it to WEMBLEY

 

[Arkwright]

Sell out, while long distant fans might find it harder attending it gives more of an opportunity for casual fans and fans who already play on Saturdays.

Note to club stock up on pies and beer.

 

[Mowgli37]

Yes, Arsenal's allocation will sell out and I imagine the home crowd will be boosted by the Sussex's colonies of Gooners wrangling some tickets here and there. Hopefully this draw will entice back a few of the rather more fickle seagulls supporters.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Well, it's on BT Sport - I suppose that counts as TV ...

 

[spence]

Yes it will sell out and i'll be there again. Seen all of our games with Premier league opposition apart from Sunderland. We've seen some very memorable matches at the Amex. Looking forward to it

If it's good enough for Jimbo......

The match highlights show fans in the corners

 

[Albion_Dave]

Yes, I think it will sell out.

 

[Bob!]

The match highlights show fans in the corners

They moved some seats from the gap between home and away fans to put into NE corner.
