[Albion] Manchester United v Albion, Sat 17/3 @ 19:45, allocation: 5,500, ticket discount for STHs

[Simster]

It’s only ‘free’ if you have the Full House package, I believe.

I have it on Virgin - we pay an extra £12 a month or something for it (along with several other small channels), but we don't have the full package including Sky Sports and the various movie channels.

 

[Mr Banana]

I dunno if the negligible amount BT Sport costs on top of my internet deal makes me complicit in this. But I can't see why they can't at least contribute to ticket or travel costs, given their riches.

Not that it won't be a marvel if we nick a win, but there are infinite better ways you could spend £100+ than going to a ground we've already visited to see the reserves.

Bt Sport is free on Virgin media. You can also get it for a fee via Sky and BT. Don't think that they do a day pass like Sky though.

Fairly sure you only get BT Sport on Virgin if you have their full TV package Full House...

Sorry, just seen I had been beaten to this!

 

[MattBackHome]

Not for me, Clive.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I’ve never quite grasped the animosity towards BT Sport. They’re doing nothing that Sky that haven’t been doing for decades and they’re cheaper. What have I missed?

Yeah me too. I really like BT Sports actually. The CL and European league coverage is really really good, and I think the level of punditry is far better than the (supposed) viewership figures deserve.

They shouldn't have binned off the European Football Show though IMHO.

5 of us booked on a BA "holiday" Heathrow to Manchester Saturday and Sunday lunchtimes with a nice Salford Quays hotel bundled in.

Thanks to [MENTION=27800]King C[/MENTION]ole for the tip off there!

 

[DavidRyder]

That's poo then. And I was hoping the BBC would continue their love-in with Utd. So looks like Twitter updates for me (I can't listen on the radio, I get too nervous).

Not a huge amount of money to be fair, but certainly not free. I’m coming to the end of a contract with VirginMedia, when I moved house they gave me a new 18 month package which from £50pm to £80pm for months 12-18. I’ve tried to renegotiate a new deal for when it ends but they’re not entertaining me at the moment. All I want is the run of the mill TV package plus BT Sport but they want £25 on top on the £50 TV package. No deal, Noel.

 

[El Presidente]

No trains back so extra money for hotel or coach.

37 quid for the ticket to start with.

Not in the best financial state at the moment so it's a definite no.

Absolutely gutted as it's the first time we've made the QF in my lifetime, I've done every FA Cup game this season and the majority in recent seasons. F*ck the FA! (And everyone else involved in the decision for this kick off time, probably Barber)

The club have no say in the KO time.

 

[trueblue]

They saw you coming.

That would definitely get you chucked out.

Will need to give this some very serious consideration because it is going to b*gger up Sunday as well. Any idea of the points available?

Quality bit of stay-cationing there.

Ashley Barnes says 3 for a win.

If any of your party want a GUARANTEED shag (and an almost guaranteed STD) then I recommend a trip to Bredbury Hall in Stockport to celebrate getting to the FA Cup semi-final.

It is impossible to fail to pull there.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Not sure why I remember this but I'm sure we played Cheltenham at Withdean at 7.45pm on a Saturday.

We did and pretty sure it hasn’t happened at that time since.
