thought their fans were excellent - noisy all the way through, classic 12th man. as was said earlier a real club with real fans.

Yeah I suppose although haven't most clubs been around for over 100 years?
Yep, utter dump, you drive up there to support your team and while you’re away from your car, some scum smash their way into it and steal it. [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35] Still seething and cant sleep!

Almost a carbon copy of 'Udders ( and Leics probably too): noisy next to away fans, clackers, drum (not sure at Leics), all sing as one, early goal and 2 - 0 final.
We don't lose 2 - 0 away do we, aside from Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea?

Sorry to hear that....where did you park ?
Just off of Roebuck Street (Where the Vine pub is) alongside dozens of fellow Brighton cars. Guessing the Birmingham based car thieving SCUM target away fans as they’ve already stolen most of the local cars.

Was that your car announced over the tannoy? Did someone see them take it?
Yes and yes, some locals saw the thieving SCUM smash the window and approached shouting for them to stop. They backed off when the thieving SCUM pulled weapons on them! I must have been in shock yesterday because I’m way more angry about it today than I was yesterday.

My first visit to West Brom and result and performance aside I was very impressed. Nice old school feel to the stadium. Home fans were okay. I’d put them behind Huddersfield and Leicester though this season. Suspect it would have been a lot quieter without that early goal.
Could have done without the unnecessary diversion out into the middle of nowhere after the match though! Not really needed for us was it.

I thought it was very different to Huddersfield. It wasn’t constant so it sounded less rehearsed. It was more like a noisy crowd from the old days. I also thought the drummer fitted in with whatever was being sung whereas at Huddersfield it was clearly the other way around. Our support used their drummer quite well at first rather than trying to sing something that didn’t match the beat. Unfortunately the insipid performance on the pitch drained all the enthusiasm from the away end. I’m just glad we went to the Vine pre match as that saved the day ! Best curry I’ve had for ages.
Really? I parked very close by. But being forced to walk half way round Birmingham after the match it ended up taking ages. Seriously pissed off.
Also can't believe people think those clackers helped the atmosphere. Certain it would've been better without.

Was a bit of a p1sser being marched all around the shop but we were accompanied by a rather lovely blonde Inspector. Very chatty she was too.
I don't remember any match at any ground having a good atmosphere for an early kick-off on new years day - stupid time for football.
The added 15 min walk was no big deal......was back on the M5 by 5.30.
Yes, but not all them are proper old-school, or surviving in the top flight without ever being a big moneybags, billy-big-bollocks type outfit.Yeah I suppose although haven't most clubs been around for over 100 years?

Yeah, the walk in the end worked out well for us too. The warehouse car park, where we were parked nose to tail with other cars, had emptied and all lanes to the M5 had been opened up.

That's awful. It puts losing a match into perspective. Have your insurance managed to get you a hire car to get home? Did you have to stop overnight?

It wasn’t so much the walk rather that it went downhill at first, meaning a long uphill stretch back to the stadium to get the car. Not too good for the old ticker
Took me a darn sight longer than 15 minutes.
Once back in the car I have to say the journey home was easy.
This. Liked the open bar/band area outside - gave it a semi-carnival feel and not a bad
word to be said about the Baggies.
