[Albion] FA Cup v Stoke early thoughts

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Moder. Love the love.

If you are thinking of parking at the Longton Rugby club looks like they may have a home game. Not sure what that means for parking

I'm driving to the match tomorrow. I'd normally go M40 - M6 but I've had some problems in the past around Birmingham so contemplating going M1 - A50. Any season travellers have any words of advice for the best route? Many Thanks.

M6 can be bad most days I'm afraid.

Any suggestions for pubs? I've heard the away pub is the Harvester? Lol

Think we'll head for powerleague parking which, if I remember rightly we used for 5th round last season.

Wasn't the ground half full when we played them in the Cup last season?

Attendance was 8000 odd and we took virtually 2000 so about a 3rd full

First away trip for my boy tomorrow and my first Stoke experience, looking forward to it. Have read some horror stories about getting out of there but won't be too bad if they're only going to get c10k in. Thinking to aim for the Stairbox car park from my research.

Expecting the line up to be something like:

Verbruggen
Hinshelwood
Dunk
Van Hecke
Milner
Moder
Gilmour
Gross
Buonanotte
Welbeck
Ferguson

Only three more hours until I can do my usual 3 points tonight lads, no excuses and pretend I’ve gone to the wrong stadium bit. I can’t wait.

The parking IS available, and the clubhouse open to Albion fans. I emailed them to check, and a chap called Jez replied to confirm

There’s tons of space there, they use the field as well as the car park when it’s busy

On the train to Stoke. After Amsterdam and Marseille away just keeping it real

Thanks for all your driving advice. In the end I went M40-M5-M6 -- no problems at all. Nice little walk along the canal to the stadium and a tidy 4-2 win.

Which was nice

Anyone partake in an oatcake?
