Away fans are entitled to 10% of the ground capacity, we had slightly more than that, I honestly don't understand why you think we didn't bring many?
I didnt say you didnt bring many - I just dont think it was that many. Unless i've got my figures wrong. 900 in the Arkells which I thought was the maximum and at most 200 on the bank as a guesstimate, 300 if we are being stupidly generous. |

Selling out the away section involves selling out the bank pal.

the bank is part of the away end. Away teams get 3,300 tickets if they can sell them. You couldn't and didn't.

No, that's not true. You don't give us the Stratton Bank allocation. And as I asked earlier, how many times was it open last season? It was opened for us today, because of the demand. Our website says we had 1,497 there today, and it felt like we had something like that number. I know we didn't have many in the Stratton Bank, but that's mainly because we got the Arkells tickets first, so sold them. The Stratton Bank is just the overflow. Which I think is a shame, it looks a lovely stand, but it remains mainly unused. It's a shame. I understand why, but I still think it's a shame. |

The Stratton Bank is part of the away end but it is only ever opened if the away club can sell enough tickets to justify it. It's not an overflow or an extra allocation - it is part of the away allocation. The point others were making is that there were fuck all Brighton fans on the Stratton Bank and that any big team would fill it. I say others as personally I don't really give a flying fuck about any of it.

Just reading through the comments on today's game and it looks like lots think LJF was man of the match.
I don't know if I'm completely losing the plot here but;
A) For their first goal he got pulled completely out of position and tried to tackle a guy on the left touchline. Douglas had to go in to cover at centre half and the guy passed the ball past LJF (who by this point had clearly forgotten he is a centre half and thought he was a left back again!) and scored.
B) For their second goal he's tried to press the midfielder who has just gone past McGovern, which alllowed Sparrow to run off his right shoulder and give him a clear run on goal. What was he thinking trying to press the player on the ball when he's a centre half?
C) He wanted 3/4 touches every time he got the ball, and 4 times nearly lost the ball with it stuck under his feet being closed down by a Brighton striker.
Sorry....I don't want to put myself on suicide watch after just one game but if he can be that positionally unaware, yet still get MOM in many people's eyes then there really is something wrong!!
this post shows that some fans have no idea about the game of football. |

In my opinion the only thing you could criticise LJF for in the game was his distribution, especially in the first half.
However, if there's no movement in front of you who exactly are you supposed to pass to?
It was noticeable in the second half that because of that he was bringing the ball out of defense more.
