I see Brighton have sold all of their 18,400 season tickets for next season!
It's amazing what a new stadium & decent team can do for attendances (board take note) . We are a similar size club as Brighton imo & equally have that 'potential' , let's hope we hear some news on the CG soon; considering the lease is up in 2 years you'd think there'd be a sense of urgency to get things moving

Yes, it's looking up for them. That'll be the £90million+ of investment on a stadium and squad for you.

18,400!!! where have they all come from?
Reminds me of Readings move from elm park to their current place!
Got mates who live in brighton who are not fans who are already planning on going, seeing the stadium and getting behind the 'new' club!
Cant help but think that this sort of impetus only comes from a new stadium, not a slow part redevelopment!
wonder how many more clubs i'll look at enviously as they build nice new stadiums and climb the leagues before we are one of them

Nearly twice as much as ours then. Richer area I know, but it shows that on field success gets people to overlook a lot.

I kind of expect Brighton to do well next year, which in a way is a shame as I'd be genuinely interested to see what happened to a club who quadrupled their season ticket sales in their new stadium and then got relegated. How long would the new punters keep coming? How many would renew?

Frustratingly, I think we would do something similar in similar circumstances. Maybe not 18,400 season tickets, but a step change in our support. It would change the way we all felt about what the club could achieve. Reading have done a good job of sustaining their 'leg up'; looks as if Brighton could do something similar.
Rather unfortunate timing for Crawley, though, isn't it?

Every cloud has a silver lining. |
