I am one of the many fans for whom, because of work, it is not worth buying a season ticket and, consequently, have only managed to see the Albion twice this season.

I have tried on the first day of sale and the day after, only to be told, "Sold out".

The problem for me and others is that we are now getting used to not going and have given up the lottery of match-by-match tickets.

There must be a couple of thousand former regular attendees such as myself who cannot wait the three or four years - if ever - for Falmer.

Withdean's capacity must be extended by at least 2,000 as soon as possible. There is plenty of room.

This will make sense not only in the short and middle term for the economic viability of a first or second division football club but, also, the long term before we start going shopping.
