Highest Away Support Averages.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Newcastle have sold 4000 of their 6000 for Cardiff away tonight. So much for them requesting 10,000 tickets.

Are you in some sort of gang that swaps details of how many away tickets have been sold?

Yeah, it's a secret gang called Twitter.

You've broken the first rule of Twitter club

A Villa mate of mine from Brighton cant make the game so he has used his reference to order a few tickets for his mates. Based on my experience of Brighton fans - i spent a fair amount of time for work there from 1998-2007 - they will be fine.

It's not like the Brighton fans weren't warned. This is on our Seatwave page.

That reminds me of the time I went to my first Fight Club. Nice place but I struggled to find it and missed all the registration stuff. Anyway, Fight club is magic.

If we're not opening the upper trinity for the Brighton game I don't know why we don't just let them have that & take the money. It's not like it's a big grudge match or anything.

We could put the season ticket holders in the North Stand Lower in the Upper trinity and let have Brighton have the lower North. We would have kicked off if the boot was on the other foot.

The Brighton fans I know have been moaning about the ticket allocation for weeks,it's painful, they won't be so kind in giving us so many tickets next time as we are being so mean & ruining their little party. They have got slightly carried away & think they are now in the top 10 biggest clubs in the country,I really hope this time next year we are swapping places!

Nothing is quite so irritating as a small club who have a bit of success and suddenly think they're Barcelona. See also Norwich and Southampton.

As someone else has already said the allocation they've been given far exceeds their average away support this season so why are they moaning.

[peter w]

It's not so much that for me it's their sense of entitlement. I'm more than content to let every (most) dog have their day, but it's the attitude of 'we're really good at the moment so you must bow to us' that irks.

[kippaxvilla2]

Surely we will be close to selling out anyway last game and all that.

Have we only given 2800 tickets to Brighton ? If so we seem to be keeping big' no mans land' gaps between home / away support that aren't required in certain games. I thought we used to give away teams 3500 tickets  max ? seems a waste of 700 ticket sales if so. Whilst I hear all the billy big time jibes being sent Brighton's way I thought they dealt with us fairly earlier in the season on the same issue so why not let them have the max possible ?   

[PeterWithesShin]

Same allocation as we give everyone else this season (apart from sha).

Too fucking right.

Especially Norwich, whose fans genuinely seem to think they're a bigger club than us.

More on this topic of Seatwave and the apparent hundreds of Brighton fans buying tickets in our stands. The two I know about have had their tickets refunded. Had a very charming message telling me this along with the amazing statement that we will never get out of this division with such an outmoded structure of running things. Us, Weds, Leeds and Norwich etc etc are all stuck in the 90s still and had we given Albion more tickets we wouldn't end up with a half empty stadium on the final day. Spiteful or what? I hope we destroy them. Better still I hope next season they are annihilated.

Outmoded structure of running things? What ensuring proper segregation and comfort for both home and away fans? It'll never catch on.

I think he was more trying to imply that if we let more away fans in we'd get more revenue and not so many empty seats. Poor old Brighton, why cant we give them 5,000 more seats and let them just take over the place? Tossers!

Whilst it would be nice to give them some extra seats for their big celebration (let's be honest we've got enough to give them a few extra) the big song and dance they've made about it just shows what a bunch of small time tinpot wankers they are and I'm glad we're having no truck with it.

I thought Brighton could win the league today so surely their big celebration would be at the Amex? I assume they get to lift the league trophy today if they get the win?
