[Albion] Are you going to the Chelsea Cup game?

[pasty]

It feels quite unusual that the Chelsea league game hasn't sold out yet, with just over two weeks to go.

I guess it's a combination of the pain-in-the-arse kick-off time and the Cup match that precedes it. If you were a casual fan, particularly with a family to buy for too, £25 a ticket is going to save you a lot relative to the League fixture.

8pm kick off on Valentines night may have had an effect as well on the old romantics

The PL game will sell out and probably in next 48 hours - so clearly there will be 31,800 who prefer having a date or at least a ticket with the Albion including the Chelsea fans.
But obviously plenty of season ticket holders will be giving it a miss - perhaps for that reason - as I imagine a sizeable sum will end up on the Exchange.

E1G and E1F have now closed. Don't be surprised if Chelsea now have a bigger allocation. Potentially 6500 of them now

Don’t forget to pop on to NSC and ask if anyone knows a bar in wherever you’re staying that’s showing the game.

Unless you’re going to Blackpool. Or Gdansk.

At least that would keep the scroatbags out of the home ends plus added gate money for us.

That would be properly embarrassing if that happens.

CUP GAME ONLY: No. Just The back rows of the upper stands are not on sale. The front rows of the stands are on sale and nearly sold out.
PREMIER LEAGUE GAME: 200 odd tickets left. Nearly full sell out.

What a bunch of romantic buggerss we are

Along the same lines, can't be arsed to walk from Westdene to Mill Road P&R for an 8 o'clock kick off, when I can watch on my sofa.

Particularly when I have to do the exact same thing 6 days later

50 years of playing football and squash have left my knees completely f***ed. I still try and play a form of football Friday afternoons for an hour and a half and by Saturday my knees are like bloody balloons. Walking to Mill Road from my house, standing on the bus up to the stadium, standing in the North Stand Concourse for a pint, and then going up those bloody stairs to stand at my seat (and it's been confirmed, i'll have a 'safe standing rail') throughout the game, making the most of my padded seat for 10 mins at half time.

Final whistle, back down the stairs to standing in the North Stand Concourse for a couple of pints, walking up and then standing in the queue for the Mill Road P&R, standing on the bus, by the time I get to walk home from the Dyke roundabout, I'm doing an impression of John Wayne with the worst case of piles known to man

I'm not looking for sympathy, but I wonder at times if I should just accept the inevitable and get a 1901 seat with parking

Then we pull out a great performance, beat someone unexpected and the North is the only place to be

Can they segregate the East Upper? Are there enough stairs?

Zero chance of that happening I'd say. But it's two of the East Lower blocks that have now been closed off for sale.

Oh my mistake!

Point of order, it is pretty telling that there is a lot more seats available in the North Stand than the East Upper or West Upper combined. North Stand fans not as "loyal"?

North Stand 1,844
East Lower 1,246
West Lower 1,160
East Upper 421
West Upper 385

Where's your loyalty North Standers Where are you? Les be aving you?
