Not sure it was Orient. I'm standing by Brentford and Leicester. Anyone else remember?Henry Irving said:It was Orient and those were cup games.
It did cause logistical problems with entrance and exit and with facilities.
It costs a lot more I police and stewarding.
And for a league game you are still passing off ST holders.
I did say they were cup games. And yes, that obviously makes it easier. But why on earth would you want a third of our ground empty when we could sell the seats to Bournemouth? Is it really that difficult to ask a few hundred season ticket holders to move for one game?1 -
Didn't we give Yeovil, part of the east in an FA Cup game?0
-
Just give them the North Upper, they can then celebrate in Crossbar's afterwards...
It seems a bit silly that we are only selling 2900 in the JS stand, I presume they're still blanking off the section next to the East Stand A block.0 -
How many tickets would they shift - it's Bournemouth0

Know they don't usually have great numbers travelling but they stand on the edge of the Premiership for the first time ever and would undoubtedly bring several thousand if they could get tickets.sunbury-addick said:How many tickets would they shift - it's Bournemouth
Exactly the same as we would do if the positions were reversed.3 -
Give em the end of the West. If it was us we'd be filling up their home end0

I remember the 1992 game against Leicester when they brought down loads of spectators for their expected promotion party :-)Fortune 82nd Minute said:

Complete and utter chaos that day, with Leicester fans being moved across the pitch from the South bank to the chicken run side of Upton Park...
By the sound of things, the ticket selling arrangements have been a bit shambolic down there, so there will be Bournemouth fans in the home ends. At least we 'll finish the season with a big attendance figure!

Agree Fortune, but what are we reckoning 7,000 max ?, if so flog the tickets, leaves us 19,000 to share. Also, probably not right to compare with us, gawd knows how many we would shift for a game as important as that on the south coast, early May, don't think the entire capacity would meet demand0

You are both right, it was Orient, Brentford and Leicester. You can also add Yeovil to the listFortune 82nd Minute said:

Why should I be moved? I don't get why the west stand get so much stick? I have had my season ticket there for the last 18 season in a row and just renewd again. And it's not a cheap season ticket like £150 it's £475. We sit with some great people and have a great view, as well as having a laugh with the away dugout/shouting match

Admittedly it would upset season ticket holders.3 - Sponsored links:

Fuck them.............they can have their 3k at The Valley and have a beamback for the fans that miss out.13

Cd85, I normally sit lower west, agree with all you say, season ticket for 3 years before this one. Would I have a problem relocating for this game - no0

Surely their fans will just buy tickets in the home end ? That way we get their money, they don't get the extra advantage of having more fans in a "block" and we don't have to piss off any of our own season ticket holders.1
-
seriously, move it to Wembley.14

I just hope there's lots of kleenex available cos when some take sight of Monsieur Kermogant there'll be tears and w**king in equal measure.7

What about the Exec boxes?IA said:We should give the North, West and East stands to Bournemouth and home fans should be moved to the Jimmy Seed. I'm being serious.

Ticket priority was shambolic I know some lads from down here who will be travelling up and none of them are Bournemouth fans, it would be a shame if genuine Bournemouth fans miss out, mind you be nice to beat them and they still get promoted, Eddie Howe has worked miracles with that squad.1

If this were to happen people would then come back to the case of giving them extra tickets to avoid this.0 -
Give them the East Stand, then we'll have two home ends just like Pardew wanted and we can test out the acoustics theory while we're at it.0

I say give them just the JS stand but reduce matchday prices for all areas to £10 /£5 concessions.
Much as I have nothing against the Cherries, I'd like to see home stands full of Addicks for the last game of the season , NOT "invaded" by away fans.
And as E-cafc says, let the unfortunate ones watch via a Beam Back.7 -
If the situation was reversed we'd be lucky to get 1600 tickets so f*** them I say.8
-
I hope we get a last minute winner/equaliser making them miss out on automatic promotion, can't stand other teams celebrating promotion at the valley.15
-
Sky will have this as a live game, otherwise, I stick with my earlier view, fuck em1
-
There will be plenty of them in the home ends. Imagine if they stick to the East and West and aren't too mouthy there won't be too many problems but last game of the season you never know.
Interesting that we've not put restrictions on buying in the home areas0 -
I had to relocate from my season ticket seat for those F A Cup matches - it really didn't feel right.0
-
In 2000, palice gave us the whole Arthur Waite and relocated their smelly fans elsewhere.
