Price it at £10 for season ticket holders to start and then on general sale, that'll shift the tickets. Fancy West upper for this one , not been there since opening day Spurs game.

As has been observed previously in this thread, WBA will be far more focused on the league than we should be, therefore unlikely to fight hard in this fixture.

I don't see why we might not have a good cup run this year. We have some strength in depth, we have hungry players in the squad, we are looking like we have PL safeness in our grasp...

I think it could be a smart move by the club to go for a cup run this year.

Surely the racist incident will add to the atmosphere? I reckon it will be a good cup tie. West Brom should bring 4k

Yup. Give them a chance of seeing a PL team in action for the only time in 2019.

Ideally as low as possible, but cannot see in a million years and tickets going for Under 20.00 anymore to be honest.

Coventry in the 5th round last season was £18 for adults. (c27K attendance), Southampton for the Carabou Cup earlier this season was £12. (13,651)

Without question. Last season was class and I think we’re as good as safe so hoping to go on a similar run this year. Why not aim for a Wembley semi final?!

WBA made 9 changes to their cup team for their 1-0 cup win v Wigan. Rodriguez wasn't in their 18.

Saints was mid-week, Coventry was on a Saturday.

I think the Coventry game illustrated that with the game well-priced, people will come along in good numbers - both regular fans/STHs but also those who might not get to the Amex often or at all, possibly because of the prohibitive cost of tickets for some families.

:thumbsup:

Definitely looking to bring my two children to this if (a) it kicks off at a sensible time on a Saturday, and (b) it is priced within the realms of reasonableness.

Home draw, lower league opponents, potential pantomime villain for entertainment.......great stuff. Come on Mr Barber, price this for a sellout and come on Mr Hughton, let’s have a proper go at this.
