[Albion] EFL / Carabao Cup Fourth Round draw [Liverpool at home]

[Mr Phil]

Assume that’s a joke - WSU is usually decent atmosphere every game…

It is hard work joking around on this forum sometimes, crikey

Eh, I received this email earlier from the club. View attachment 190494

That's just referring to the Travel Zone for bus and train I think and not specifically the park and ride sites which are normally charged for on non league games. Having said that, they are leaving it late if they are going to charge in advance for Park and Ride.

Are you sure? I thought it was always travel or no travel - not separate for park & ride etc?

No I'm not sure.

Remaining rows of east upper, and some more rows of west upper back on sale.

I asked about park and ride and if you have to book and was told it's turn up on the night. So I'm guessing it's not going to be charged

 

[Jeremiah]

Anybody know if they will release seats at rear of upper West and East stands

These seats are now open to purchase

Sorry didn't see post 505

Looks like it's gone on sale to those with a Purchase History as of yesterday at 9am. Lots of tickets sold since then. It will be packed with plastic Livepool fans I fear.

Good, hope they enjoy it. As long as it’s sold out who cares? I and many STHs know are giving this a miss, largely worn down by awful transport problems of the Amex, midweek exacerbating, extra costs obviously, but mostly because Liverpool really ain’t all that a draw these days. How times have changed! Nah, one for the tele.

I’m going to watch Brighton, not Liverpool.

Same as the Liverpool fans, good for you. Hope you enjoy, same as the tele viewers.

I guess that shows how blasé we've become. Personally I'm doing both the Carabao and the League match a few days later. Liverpool are top of the EPL for ****sake! Clearly one of the best teams in the world, and - amazingly - we are playing them twice in a few days. My mantra is - make the most of these great times....who knows when they could end? For far too many of the 55 years I've been following BHAFC the likes of Orient and Reading were the "high spots".

They are, but it really isn’t that big a deal these days is it when we frequently play them. They’ve been trumped by Ajax, Marseille and Milan. That’s a special tie these days!!! And Crawley. I was more excited by that and attended. But Liverpool…? Nah, rather we got Plymouth or Carlisle away, someone we’ve not played in an age!!

Only downside to lots of regular Albion fans missing this match and neutrals/plastics going is the atmosphere has the potential to be absolutely dire.

To be fair I find all domestic cup matches are the worst for atmosphere as there are always few regulars around where I am

Milan? Must have missed that one?

 

[portlock seagull]

Champions League next season!

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

And Crawley. I was more excited by that

There's something I never thought I would read - either relating to football or just life in general

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Pyecombe P&R open

 

[ElectricNaz]

I'm in, and Pycombe booked. Must be having a weird day, normally hate the idea of travelling down for midweek games. But I think we'll win the Carabao this year so let's gooooo!

Surely it is more across than down is it not? Either way well done on taking the plunge and i hope it is worth the effort!

The release of more seats in the upper tiers on tuesday bumped up the availability but it is now back down to about 2100 (still some in the upper west held back) so we are getting there slowly, not sure they will all go though i guess the result on saturday will have an effect.
