[Albion] FA Cup Semi-Final v Man Utd - 4:30pm, Sunday 23rd April

It's almost as if people have completely forgotten that Albion played at Wembley on December 13 2017....

Ha! I was there . We were awful

 

[chaileyjem]

So Gross, Dunk, March, Veltman, Lallana, Gilmour, Welbeck, Moder ! -are all Wembley vets.

I love watching football on a wet pitch (as long as I am under cover, of course!)

Traditionally, wet weather would bring the better team down to the levels of the underdog - so presumably United will be hoping for constant rain.

Crofty has also played at Wembley.

Annoying that the weather forecast for Wembley tomorrow is rain all fecking day

It’s not that bad….

 

[Rambo]

If I remember rightly the weather was very similar last time we were at Wembley, lots of rain predicted but ended up just being light showers.

It was pretty wet in '83 for the first one and we didn't do too bad. "And Welbeck must score....... he does!"

Veltman spotted in this mornings training video on social.

It was - I had to wear my Albion plastic bag over my head to keep dry getting there!

No sign of Evan sadly

Have we still got that giant flag from 2019, or did it perish in a lock-up garage somewhere? Had completely forgotten about it til it popped up on Football Focus just now

Tbf - it was film of only 6-7 players . So hard to tell. Although it would be quite the recovery .

Poured hard about 1pm as I was in the queue at the turnstyles

I was wondering the same thing yesterday.

13,000 miles away, but living every minute with you all. I was there in '83 and went absent from the army to watch the replay. We were a 'little' team then. This is different. Now is our time. I actually get emotional watching us play and remembering how it used to be. I will be watching at 3.30 in the morning and chatting with my son in the USA while we beat Man U. His whole college in South Carolina are backing the Albion!!

What's all this bollocks about entry time? My ticket says entry time 15.00 to 15.45. What if I turn up at 16.20 as planned? My son's ticket says entry time 14.30-15.00. Is this for real?

No - hangover from covid apparently, but wasn't even enforced then. I mean surely they can't legally enforce it anyway!

Does the concourse of the upper tier go all the way around or is it sectioned off into blocks ?

Grandson is ina different block to us, and someone owes me a coffee that I want to collect @AmexRuislip

Yes it does, well it gets sectioned off at the neutral points, then again for opposition supporters. Access to our 12 or so blocks up there will be fine.
