I was assuming you were talking about other cup games.

The point made is that despite everyone being pissed off, we've just pretty much sold out two home games. One was £37 a ticket.

and those 2 league games have left a lot fans feeling why bother when the football is awful

football fans are fickle and next week will show this

to think we will have 10k home fans next week is insane

As it stands we’ve sold 3k max

Way more than 3k sold. We've sold a similar number to any other cup game in recent years.

Even Spurs at home, people were shocked how low the sales were days before.

Oh the Spurs game when GIMOC claimed Brighton has sold out a similar game but had in fact not opened the whole stadium?

That's the one. We have the same thread every cup game about how low the sales are and how we will be outnumbered.

You've missed the middle block that's 80% sold. That alone is nearly a thousand.

I'd say there's about 5-6k home seats sold. The seating map used to look like that with just two stands open.

No, I'm showing you a picture of a seating map for what eventually was a crowd of 24,000.

It's always empty for cup games until the day.

No, I think there will be about 15-16k.

The sales are no different to other cup games. A week before Spurs it was empty.

There's zero reason to get a ticket early. I haven't got mine yet.

Bought my tickets. 5 mile run this morning to assist the recovery from the head spinning loss yesterday.
Don't support the negativity supplied by some prominent contributors on this forum.
Its time to get behind the team. Proper fans dig in after defeats and certainly turn up.

Probably a good job so many tickets were already sold given the Norwich result yesterday.

It may be hard to shift many more now.

You are joking? There were plenty of posters on here saying the same this time last year (and every year for that matter) about concentrating on the league, and it strikes me that another cup run is just what we need to boost the morale of the players and supporters alike.

not sure a long run is needed but a decent win on Saturday could boost the confidence in the players

Ok, well I'm glad those that didn't want a cup run last season were disappointed, and hope that you/ they will be equally disappointed this season.
