They didnt hang around, sold thier 3,000 allocation and will ask for more tickets! Not sure where or how that would happen, impressive though, over to you oohah
Very good support but you have to remember that going to football must be a novelty for the majority of their support because they played in front of 7-8k crowds at the Withdean for 10 years
I asked a brighton mate he same question. He said that people stopped going to home games when they moved to gillingham. So they started to go to all the away games instead and its carried on
Given that we obviously need the money and there isn't a huge amount of antipathy between the fans with the mutual dislike of Palace, I wouldn't be surprised if the club didn't at least look into this.
They could probably have a couple of blocks of the West Stand at the South end without displacing many season-ticket holders-a bit like we did at Bournemouth with the extra tickets last season
can't see why not - block off part of the West stand (or East) and give 'em a section in there. I'm sure any season ticket holder wouldn't mind moving for just one game............better than missing out on the extra revenue and we aren't going to sell out the rest anyway.

Brighton always have had very good support. Anyone who remembers playing them in the 70`s and onwards will agree. Regularly had 30k+ at the Goldstone and always took loads away.
Leaving their home ground was a dark time for them but they still had very good away numbers when playing at Priestfield and Withdean.
Fair play to them, looking forward to it and we should sell out down there no problem either!
Work with a Wolves fan and he said there was lots of trouble when Brighton played them and that apparently they have got quite a 'hooligan' element. Always thought they were one of the friendlier clubs.
I'd expect them to have decent support at our place, we are probably their closest away game apart from Palace, we'll take a decent following down there too.
as stated above, they won't get more tickets due to regluations, policing, etc etc

Very good support.

IF we got a result at Millwall I would expect this to be 22kish assuming a few random Brighton fans dotted about in their tight tops.
shame our game was moved to a tuesday night down there.

I'm sure other clubs have sold it out but were unable to get any more tickets.
