You’re right , we just hand our enemies the bullets to shoot us with. Personally if we sell 25,000 I know they’ll largely be working classfans from the north of England & i’m Happy with that, be careful what you wish for because if we become like Utd or Liverpool those tickets would be in the hands of supporters clubs around the world, not Salford or Liverpool .

FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton
- Thread starter MAG
- Start date
To me it’s a simple case of money, and yes there will be different reasons for people not going and and although I’ve bought a ticket if you add on the travel, few beers then champions league and it’s an expensive time. Plus late finish on a Saturday night live on tv, we have just been for the Caibo cup, and a possible final, if I’m honest I hesitated.

Well I'm coming from Reading so only an hour or so travelling on Sat - compared with the 5 hour trip to / 4 hour trip back for the Cardiff game & < 4 hours sleep before work on the thursday - but hey ho seems I'm not a proper supporter...You’re right , we just hand our enemies the bullets to shoot us with.

I don't think @ballinio was suggesting that mate..
Fuck me, we don't half like giving ourselves a hard time don't we? Forensically checking blocks, counting unsold seats & hand wringing over our attendance plays into our haters hands. They'll be all over this thread salivating over OUR angst at a few empties in a soulless bowl in the arsehole of London. Salford Quays will be shaking like a shitting dog prepping the next article demonising our club and its supporters.
Some are going to the semi, some aren't. Get over it.
I hope we sell as many tickets as possible, accepting that fans have financial and other constraints. That's not because of what other fans might think. Even if both clubs sell out there will be thousands of empty seats because there will be very few neutrals present.
For me its about getting as many fans there as possible to support the team. A crowd of say 65,000, with a much larger contingent of Brighton fans, will create quite a strange atmosphere. Which would slightly improve the chances of a shock result.

Probably took the comment the wrong way - I fully accept that it is a shit journey for the majority of the city fans, shit kick off time meaning very late home or even more costs for hotel etc & 25K sales is good -I don't think @ballinio was suggesting that mate..
Not if the morons who were there for the league cup final are still there.I don’t give a fuck if we don’t sell out.
Looking on the bright side it’s going to be a lot easier to get served beer.
It's exactly what you were saying although we know you don't mean it.I don't think @ballinio was suggesting that mate..
