[Albion] FA Cup 5th Round draw - Newcastle away

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Although they are not running one to Newcastle, the Supporters Club coaches appear to be 25% cheaper. Two adults and two under 16s to Newcastle is over £300 with Seagulls Travel. Astonishing.

Not here to defend ST but I guess this needs a minimum of two drivers for that journey with the working hours restrictions and at Sunday rates so never going to be cheap. They are also a commercial operation so need to make a profit unlike the Supporter Club coaches who only need to cover costs.

Has anyone used Seagulls Travel to Newcastle? We have use them before but not as far as Newcastle. How long does it take? Probably wont be cheap either.

I did it once, I seem to remember it was a 19-hour round trip including the match.

.... and we drew 0-0

I'll be driving up early on Saturday morning. 2 nights in the Hilton (right next to the Tyne bridge), then driving home on Monday. Jobs a goodun.

Just booked tickets for Harrogate V Accrington Stanley on the way up. Not much cheaper than the Newcastle game.

I'll be making everyone look silly when Gateshead get promoted and Harrogate relegated in May on the way to the 92

The club have released L7M, L7L, and part of L7K together with the smaller front blocks LL7M,LL7L and LL7K a total of 1514 seats.
Of those they have held about 150 for players, sponsors etc and there are currently 1144 available meaning sales this morning of 220.

As an aside, were you a Fulham fan wishing to take in the 5th round game at Old Trafford, that will set you back £51-£61 of your english pounds.

Yes - appalling - easier game than ours and less far but still appalling

I'd love to go but been a visitor to Newcastle too many times, and the thought of doing again on a Sunday is just too much. Whoever's going to invent Teleporting can they please hurry up

That is all very well but do you want to be watching the Albion through the multi faceted eyes of a huge fly?

1072 left meaning sales of 292 so far.

I had not looked earlier but have just been on and cannot quite believe that we have sold the whole of what was left(i.e. right to the very back) in block L7K already. So i am guessing that the club may have stopped sales in the rest of that block from this morning to concentrate on the outer blocks?
Anyone able to confirm or disprove that theory?

Agree - no chance we’ve sold them all. Expecting to get bounced into the currently available blocks once tickets are issued.

Wow, sincerely hope not Dazzer! There is still time to sell more with all season ticket holders and members (must be a few of them up north surely) windows to go.

I hope not either, but there's no chance any block has completely sold out imo so there's something going on................
