[Albion] Match days and players arrival time

[bridge]

What's his name and I will see what I can do about the autographs for him. Not sure bout the photo because the players lounge is separate from the Managers Lounge but I can ask. I can def get him Chris and Colin's autograph for sure

That'll be quality if you could arrange that for him thanks . I'll message you [emoji3]

Think I'll hang around the car park with my boy nice and early and see who arrives. Least I'll know if we are too late if there is a car park full of flash motors already !! Will try after the match then.
Photos and autographs be good, he's after Bruno's and Stockdales.

yeah we got photos with both last year. His shirt turned mostly black due to the amount of autographs he got plastered over himself.

Haha brilliant. Think it's great when the kids meet their football heroes.

I finally met my footballing hero back in the 90s, a certain Peter Osgood, I was the biggest kid about running up to him and getting his autograph. I was a mere 30 years old at the time.

Stumbling out of the North (north-east) entrance over the last 5 years I've seen GG, Casper, Tex, Liam Ros, Wilson and Greg Rusedski outside signing autographs. Generally somewhere between 1 and 3 pints after the final whistle

The players arrive from 10:15 as they need to be in the ground by 11:00 (for 3 o'clock k.o). So adjust timings forward 30 mins.
Wait by the car park entrance (NE corner). You get to see the players drive past you so you know who is coming.
The players pre match walk to the players entrance which is at the bottom of the steps (NW corner).
After the game the players walk across the pitch and come out of the East Stand so everyone waits by the car park entrance (NE corner).
Players are always friendly and pose for loads of photos and signings.
Just a warning that after the game they will all have their kids/wife/girlfriends with them as it is the lap of appreciation after the game.
This meant that some players had there hands full or in some cases the wife's moved the car and picked the player up.
After the game they may be longer than normal as they may stop to watch the Burnley game...

Thanks for all the info, going to get there in plenty of time as would rather take my lad before the match rather than after as will be quieter hopefully plus like you say no guarantees on time.

Wonder if we'll get away with the free train travel that time of the morning.

And Bruno's blond mrs is definitely worth a shove. He still has Spanish number plates.

Thanks, daft question but when you say car park, have they got their one one then? Or do they park in the main ones at the top.
We've always just got off the train and gone straight into the stadium so not really ventured around looking for the players before.

Their own special one
Entrance outside the east at the bottom of the hill (ie club shop end)

Bruno's missus is the very definition of brunette. She's extremely Spanish looking

When my eldest daughter worked at the Amex in the first season I used to give her a lift around 11am on match days.
Lots of times we followed the opposition coach in and various Albion players as well.

 

[emphyrian]

going for the morning arrivals too now as I've just been informed I'm out for dinner after the match. Probably see you there.

I'll be there bright and early with my lad, pen at the ready.

 

[Mr Banana]

Wish I knew how to see Stuart Storer tomorrow (big screen aside). Would love to kiss his face.

Yes think it is when I looked on website . Not sure how strict they are on it.
Getting dropped off instead as early

Well we went early (a bit too early as waited for a while) but the lad met them all and got photos and signatures. Fair play to the players as the weather was crap but they were all happy to sign and have photos. Even Bong who was late.
However the lads best one was walking into the family bar in the east when it opened to see LuaLua laying on the sofa in there. Quick photo with him before he had to leg it as he wasn't supposed to be in there apparently.

His new chant tonight being sung round the house "lualua he's in the bar lualua he's in the bar"

Just sent you a private message. I got him a programme signed specifically to him from Chris. Don't know if you managed to bump into Chris or not before the match but I got him a photo as well today - Quite a rarity because it also has a couple of footballing legends in it with him
