[Albion] Man Utd v Albion: will you go?

[lawros left foot]

No, I’m in Ireland for St Paddy’s day.

 

[Lush]

Was thinking about it, but I was lucky enough to go once already this season, and the cost of tickets/train tickets/hotel makes it a bit pricey.

I'm convinced we'll win though.

 

[pauli cee]

would love to go, and kick off time wouldn't bother me, as love a night out up north with a stay over,
but my bank account is saying not a chance........

 

[dazzer6666]

Just booked tickets, so guess that’s a yes from me........leisurely day driving up, risk a speeding ticket coming home.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

As Man City will involve a hotel stayaway and already planning to stay in Liverpool over the Everton game, cannot justify the cost. Will watch on BT Sport.

 

[Foul Play Rocks]

Yes I’m going but it’s a shit time and expensive. It was £30 for the league fixture. I don’t want to miss that ‘I was there’ thing though.

 

[Normski1989]

I would've gone if it was on Sunday. Have a stupid bloody wedding to attend on the Saturday.

Norwich was a first for the club though so slightly different.

How excited were you for the Southampton game in 1986?

Me: moderately excited, although as much about a weekend away with mates as the game.

I was still incredibly excited for the Southampton game. Weekend away? We were at home to them Bozza.

In fairness, yes I was less excited than for the Norwich game, but I was a kid, 1983 was amazing, but as I trudged away from the Replay defeat, I never realised the enormity of how unlikely it was that we'd get there again. So when we again found ourselves in a QF just 3 years later, it sort of backed-up my childish naivety, and belief that this would happen every few years now. Oh the innocence of youth.

 

[Eric Youngs Contact Lense]

Yes, but will have to drive up and down as will have to get up for youth football match next morning.. it is S***e kick-off time for everyone.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Sadly no. Going to be far too expensive with the additional cost for somewhere to stay. Will make an evening of it though by watching on tv

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Absolutely - but only if tickets fall down to the bronze stage. Expect they will

 

[CaptainDaveUK]

Sadly probably not, it's my 10 year old's birthday weekend so would have been a special treat but late kick off and expensive tickets is pricing and timing me out of the market. We'll end up doing an FA Cup / Brighton themed party instead and watch on TV. Then save my money for a possible trip to Wembley, as I missed out in 83 and 91 so have never been.

 

[Arkwright]

Only missed three away games this season but can't justify the additional expense of a hotel for the night. Thinking about Seagulls Travel but like a pre match beer.
At present sadly I'm a no.

 

[Sorrel]

Love to go, but no way have I got the time for a long away day match - let alone the time this one is on.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I'm guessing you were around in 1983 then. There was plenty of excitement ahead of the Norwich game.

Modern football eh? We don't begin to get excited until the Final. What a sad state of affairs we've somehow got ourselves to.

For what it's worth, I'm excited.

I was mega excited when we played Norwich in the cup quarter-final

I expected us to lose against Norwich but got mega excited when we played Sheff Wed, and then went way over the top for the final. I suppose the fact that I've already been to Old Trafford this season, has dulled the enthusiam somewhat.

You didn’t miss a thing. Brighton never turned up and by then rusting Wembley had lost its magic.

 

[Djmiles]

Bronze here too. Also fairly confident we’ll get a ticket.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

No. Rubbish time.

Spot on. 83 trip was magical though.....
