Just second guessing but anticipate there will be some Bees fans in the Arsenal end. I was not going to go but looking at options now.

I know some who will be. Not myself but it happens. We've all done it rather than miss a game. I was given a ticket for a midweek derby at Millwall c1980. Near the directors but still surrounded by neanderthals. You need to adjust your behaviour in these circumstances.

Of course one does - just looked at options today and some Corporate prices at around £179 (cheapest I could find) - this also includes a tour of their museum ! Ha.

We really can’t be doing this and then mithering when other teams/fans do it at BCS. @Indian Bee youve been fairly vociferous in situations when this has happened, as I recall?

Yes. But I don’t stand up and start recording in front of the home fans after we had scored.

It's a fact of life. I've had contingency plans for certain aways in the past but, fortunately, never had to use any of them. I know supporters of "big" London clubs who could sort me a ticket if necessary. I have even been a member of Orient, QPR, and Fulham (when you didn't have to pay) which would have got me a ticket. I wouldn't bring an away supporter to BCS but have done this for games at GP in the past which didn't sell out.

So my take on this is simple. This season I have done West Ham and Spurs in their home ends. I don’t think I prevented any of their home fans from getting tickets. There were vast available for both. My belief and I am not saying I am right away fans in our ends do take tickets away from our own fans. It’s the way we have sold the tickets this year. There is also a certain standard. When Wissa scored the last minute winner at West Ham my god I wanted to jump up and down as did my mates but we were respectful.

Hey, that’s you justification, which you’re entitled to. But it does smack of double-standards somewhat. Not picking on you specifically, but I think the anti-tourist/opposition fan rhetoric has been fairly fierce from across the board. I just think it’s either wrong or acceptable, it can’t be wrong but with caveats that suit someone’s individual circumstances.

Getting very close to a situation of setting the rules out, but having reasons why those rules don’t apply to those who set out to implement them. If only a metaphor from the wider world existed… ?

There are so many thousands of
Tourists/ Day Trippers / Corporate Fans at Arsenal Spurs and West Ham
One or two extra from Brentford will make no difference

I know a couple of Bees who have already sorted their Old Trafford tickets via home supporters. They are not going to large it at all, they just want to be there and probably don't have the TAPs to get a ticket in the away end like the rest of us. I'm with IB, it's not double-standards as the situation at the BCS is completely different.

Whilst I might be wrong some PL clubs built these huge stadiums, with the expectation of selling memberships and catering for day trippers. They know deep down it would be difficult to sell out 60 - 70 thousand tickets every other week with just their fans. The PL attracts it's own fans for just being a PL game, if we thought the same when selling our own memberships is another question.

I agree with the principle of wanting to watch your team, and using home seats in the home end if you're respectful.

However whilst these clubs do cater for people wanting to attend an individual game, we can't really say we don't want respectful away fans in the home areas at BCS, but it's ok for our fans to use home areas away. My point is if there are enough tickets for Brentford fans at the BCS I don't see an issue with respectful away fans watching the game in our home areas. But I don't think many share that view including the club, which probably means we shouldn't be promoting our fans sitting in the home areas at the Emirates, Old Trafford etc.

Right decision, I did it once for "that" Southampton away cup game. I'm no hooligan but it got a little heated at the end when I clapped off the Bees players and some fat lump of a Saint barged into me ?

There will be thousands of empty seats in the home sections on Saturday. If Brentford fans can find a way of getting hold of those tickets and are going to behave respectfully then great.

really, Arsenal fans seem very excited at the moment and would assume they’d sell out

Stumped .. no spare tickets on GPG, does anyone know if their a twitter handle who facilitates Arsenal Season Ticket Holders selling on their tickets. CPFC and Spurs I was able to navigate but Arsenal so far has been tough. really tough as Tiger Woods would say
Actually one AFC twitter guy guy wanted 100 pounds for a ticket, which is fine but I think he is confused or misunderstood, because I didn't want to buy Derby FC.

Really looking forward to this. Got my ticket, and I’ll get my half-and-half scarf outside the ground, as usual. I’ve already made my cardboard sign asking for Toney’s shorts too. It’ll be good to have the chance to loudly applaud Arsenal players again, and of course I’ll stand respectfully whilst the home fans create their famous atmosphere through the medium of mime. It’s gonna be a classic.

This is probably a stupid request but as family visit cancelled due to storm (oh dear, very sorry, never mind) we now could go. If a couple of spares are out there they would be hugely appreciated. I know, stupid request.

Standing around for an hour before hand hoping to get autographs from the AFTV lot.

They mime reading a book. It's a hilarious play on their reputation for playing in a library

Yep got tickets. Really looking forward to tomorrow after a hectic and crazy week work wise. Will be good to let off some steam (respectfully).

Just one final word on this and others (i.e @BigMarv) may disagree (fair enough). One can be annoyed at away fans celebrating in home ends, recording their teams scoring in front of Bees fans and most probably taking tickets away from Bees fans and one can get tickets in the home ends when Bees playing away, be respectful where tickets have been available in abundance. I don't believe this is a contradictory view.

Huge long shot but got 2 x tickets available now, 1 x adult and 1 x senior. Can get to Jct 19/20 of the M5 tomorrow morning at a push.

Lots of empty seats at the Emirates today. Was pretty straightforward to get a ticket in the home end at £30. I was respectful as were the fellow bees with me and don't think I got a ticket that prevented an Arsenal fan attending.
