[Albion] The annual "waiting for the Upper Tiers to open" cup game thread

[Bozza]

Re: Villa - "As only the lower stands of the stadium will be open, there will be a free-choice of seating with no seats held for season ticket holders."

I think the waiters could be left disappointed for this one, ya think? Must be a limited chance of the lower tiers selling out mid-week.

 

[arewethereyet?]

I honestly don’t think they will sell out for this match, 3rd round, Villa, energy drink cup, Nah, no chance.

 

[KNC]

Does this mean they think it’ll be on TV?

 

[Sorrel]

Depends what the ticket prices are. Might be more chance of selling out the lower if it was a team in the Championship, rather than one that was there last year.

Too many juicy ties. BT will see this as an all Prem snore fest.

Does that also mean we shall be streamless again?

Don't Sky have the rights for the League Cup

 

[Easy 10]

Sky will show Portsmouth v Southampton, and probably Colchester v Spurs, or Dongs v Liverpool.

Zero chance our game will be on. Its a nothing all PL tie, wouldn't be a shock either way.

Oh yeah. Sky have the rights.

Not waiting for an upper tier, WSL it is

 

[dazzer6666]

12-14k max, PL reserves and U23s so little outside interest. Yawn.

....of course I’m going ������

 

[amexer]

We had 15k against Cheltenham a few years ago

Where is the 'I want my own ST seat' bit?

I have filled in the digital form, done the emails to confirm and I don't want some upstart in my seat.

I quite like watching cup matches from different parts of the ground, just to see what others experiences are on a match day. I have yet to do North Stand so may venture there.

And about the same verses Southampton last season.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Under 18s for a fiver will boost the crowd I would guess.

Not by many I would have thought, midweek and school the next day.
Expect a repeat team of BR match, maybe another U23 thrown in at the start.

If you do try and remind those around you that their job is to sing...
