Well? What was it?

I was at the far left of the stand, there was plenty of room for the giant flag to be laid out over the seats at the far end. Wasn't really able to estimate how many fans there were but Stoke only opened one counter at half time so there can't have been that many there...?

I dont even think 1,000.

I'd guess at about 800,but i could be wrong.Everyone that was there mad a great effort today,but the atmosphere in the away end didnt seem to be what it normally is.Cant put my finger on why though.

Anyone got any views?? Feel free to completely disagree with me!!

Were we as bad in the first half as the radio and MM said.

Yes we were inert (didn't hear MM comments)

a) we weren't very good
b) the ref was the biggest Homer since Matt Groening first got his crayons out
c) it was bloody cold. All I wanted to do in the second half was go home. After the first 15 minutes (when we at least had a few shots on goal) it was obvious we weren't going to get anything at that god-foresaken hole.

I was right at the back of stand and it was good to watch the giant flag being passed along tho'.

I felt we were going to lose within 10 minutes of kick off, passes not coming together, not keeping the ball.

Shocking display from a team I know can play far better!

As per a text I got from Yorkie, we'll bounce back next week!!!

*we've got to!!*



:clap2:

It was exactly the same two years ago (it was March then)
Stoke is high above sea level and the wind is icy cold.
The team didn't turn up that day either; only Rougier had a go and he was way off target.

It's a miserable cold, horrible place.

It was very cold to say the least but a nice stadium but I doubt I will go again.

From the main stand it looked like only the middle upper section was full.....800?..its always hard to judge. Very few Albion fans in the corporate bit...great value pity about the game

The referee was a complete egotistical pratt who gave 2 homer penalties. Stoke were shit but obviously bribed the bastard in black.

We did not turn up until the second half but coulkd not get anywhere when the ball went up front. A bad day at the office best forgotton.

I thought about 600 tops there.

Beach Hut, I have been to the Britannia twice and once to the Victoria Ground, that was more than enough for any man, I didn't go yesterday and probably won't go there ever again.
