[Albion] Fan in the stand - £20 east upper

[Papa Lazarou]

I wan't going to do it, but now I intend to submit a photo of my Dad, who passed away a year ago. He introduced me to football as a kid, and was an Albion fan from the early 1950s. He moved to Australia in 2006 and never was able to attend a game at the Amex.

Morning all. Just wondering - did anyone get a confirmation email that their photo had uploaded ok and/or had been accepted?

Thanks!

No, nothing.

I had no strong feeling either way about this cardboard cut out thing, but I really like this idea of people who never got to go to the Amex having their image up in the stands. Hoping to see Lord Bracknell on the telly.

Hope your Dad enjoys the view

I've just re-watched the Arsenal game from last year, 30x speed. At no point during the entire 90 minutes did the camera pan up to the East Upper. Interestingly, it didn't show much of the Lower either so I'll be watching to see if the camera angle is different next week to get in all the adverts being placed there.

I’m tempted but don’t think it will be picked up by tv cameras on the upper tier .

I'm fairly sure the cameras will pan up to the cardboard fans a few times during pauses in the game.

What about a whip-round to get Sarah Watts, Roy Chuter and Paul Whelch up there too? Although for all I know the club may already be thinking about that.

Happy to help with that one - really good idea. Great memories of doing the Withdean Litter Patrol with Paul Whelch

Update: I think the club has images and is sorting it out.

UPDATE TO UPDATE: Albion are also covering the costs themselves.

I have seen the odd photo of some of the cut outs but haven’t seen mine or a few mates that are there. Does anyone know if there are photos of all of the sections anywhere or plans for photos?

I couldn't find mine either in the views of them that were on TV and the Albion & Argus websites. I thought the club might have taken a set of images of them and put up a gallery as we can't be the only people who'd like to 'see' ourselves but apparently not (yet anyway)...

Having watched Man Utd game the other day and Leeds game today - The fan pics look much better closer to the pitch, anybody know why the east upper was chosen for ours ?

advertising or some sort of premier league wanky rule

I also wondered why Dirty Leeds had all their cardboard fans in the lower tiers which are easily seen and ours are in the upper east where they are not, so I e-mailed P Barber (sad I know), he replied, "All Premier League clubs are required to comply with Premier League rules which do not permit cardboard cut-outs in the lower tiers".

As someone has already intimated, to do with dosh no doubt. Rules are rules I suppose.

Am pretty sure Man Utd had them in the lower tier at Old Trafford this week ?

Oh and what a stupid pathetic rule that is - really don’t see the logic in it

Does it really matter ?
