Bit embarrassing really

[Withdean Wanderer]

A quick look at NSC in the last half hour has put me right off this cup tie.

Yes, it's a good day out and we'll make good money out of it, but:

Why is everyone on here suddenly creaming themselves? There's already a ridiculous thread on Ask The Club about coach times (the coach is run by the supporters club, not the football club, and they aren't going to have times set before the date has been confirmed!) and there's numerous threads about ticket allocation size, how to get there, and who gets priority for what.

What a load of shite. Christ knows how bad it's going to be like when tickets are actually available. And yep, remember that the average away attendance is about 800, not 6000 big game charlies.

How about we just let the date and time of the game be arranged, let the club sort how they prioritise tickets (and hope they do it fairly), and in the meantime, concentrate on Brentford on Saturday and more important things like who is going to start at the back, who will be up front, the chances of it being snowed off, and what outfit Gus is going to wear. The club staff, especially those in the ticket office must be pretty f***ed off right now, knowing they're going to have to deal with some of the biggest goons in football over the next few days.

Some people need to get a bloody grip. Good draw = yes, but my god there's some shit that comes with it.

edit: and I didn't even mention the complaining when some people don't get a ticket!!!

Not often I agree with you WW, but you're bang on here. I'm happy with the draw and looking forward to the game, but some of the shite on here is nauseating. Anyone would think we hadn't played a "big" club before.

 

[Simon Morgan]

Why did you get rid of the copy and paste thing in your signature?

 

[severnside gull]

a rare day that I agree with you but more than a dozen threads within minutes of the draw is ridiculous

 

[El Presidente]

For once WW= Wise Words!

 

[RSBLUEANDWHITEARMY]

I agree WW but this has come about by many people who post on this site dont go to games and when a big game comes up they cant wait to get a ticket

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

Very true, but you can't say that you didn't expect it, really

 

[Silent Bob]

Walsall is a far more important game and pretty much identical for travel. I assume we will take at least 2000 there.

f***ing hell............have you lot forgotten to take your anti-depressant pills...?

What a tragedy......Albion fans on NSC are happy.............burn 'em.......the lot of 'em.

 

[Hercules Rockerfeller]

I know where you're coming from, but isn't it just nice to have something to be positive about and look forward to? There's probably a fair few of our fans who haven't seen us play that many big clubs, let the, enjoy it. Doesn't do any harm.

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

Even this newbie agrees Mr Wanderer.

Stop your moanaing, wankpot

I can't believe what I'm reading.

We get drawn against one of the top teams in the country in one of the top stadiums in the country. What kind of reaction did you expect? Thats what happens when a big game comes along. In addition to this, the inverted snobbery of some people on here may be even further damaged when the new stadium comes along, because some of the people who only turn up to the big games are going to be needed if we are going to fill it. Personally I am incredibly excited at the prospect of 6,000 singing Albion fans at Villa Park, regardless of the result. So should you be.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

It's a very good draw but at the end of the day it's a 100% nailed on defeat.

As far as I'm concerned, we all expect to get a good tonking at VP - but it's NEVER 100% certain is it? Stranger things have happened..

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

I think Villa was a great draw as it will be a new ground for most people and its one of the best.I do agree with the original post though.

So how is it damaging again?

 

[Simon Morgan]

What I meant is that the people who castigate those who only turn up the big games will have to get used to it, as these are some of the people we will need to fill the new stadium.

Im sure these conversations and questions have been going on at every club at big games since the birth of football. However until the internet we only heard them in the pub, at work,school etc..now we can enjoy them everytime we have a good cup run or look like we might get promotion!!! god bless the internet . 4-0 villa get a grip who gives a shit
