[Albion] Official Albion v Manchester City FA Cup semi-final planning thread Sat 6th April, 17.30pm

[Invicta]

A seat.
































The less flippant remark would tell you the seat has arm rests, and cup holders and an exclusive concessions area full of over priced eating and drinking venues.

Cheers. A start I guess ! Hopefully a standard option available before resort to that !!

144 blue and white streamers, each 25 metres long, purchased for our group of about 16 people. My shoulder will only stand to luzz about 4 of these. One of those big days where luzzing stuff is essential. Partypuffin.co.uk if anyone wants to place an order, 67p per item.

1.30 am kick off time here will have to sleep all day Sunday.
We are bound to get a good spanking and I will be royally pissed if we don't even try.

Is it 1.30? UK clocks go forward on 31st March.

Our clocks in Melbourne go back at 3.00am on Sunday 7th April so I think it will kick off at 03.30 but as the clock has gone back it will be 02.30.

But then again, I might be completely confused!!!

We don't do daylight savings here, it might end up as 12.30 if clocks go back over in the UK.

Yep, pretty sure yours is 00.30, a bit better than 01.30

I was hoping for a lunchtime kickoff which would have been far more acceptable over here.

That would have been great as I could have watched in on Foxtel at the boozer on the big screen.
The expats would have turned up for that.

So logged into the ticket site looking to get 1st dibbs at 9am and blocks 123/124 and 142/143 just indicate a dot of availability.

As I was planning on spending £80 each I wanted to ensure I got the best position but if these 4 blocks are not going to be available then I may as well move another 2 blocks and get a cheaper ticket.

Any ideas what these dots of availability are in these blocks?

People pre buying tickets? Corporate gimmies? Gifts?

Is it the NSK singing section early bird offer?

 

[kingcole]

Been kicked out into the queue now. I should have taken a screenshot to explain better what I saw.

 

[Bod]

It looks like those blocks may just be for disabled supporters?

The FA ‘family’ and other connected people. I’m going down that route; quicker and more chance tickets together. They’ll be Albion fans dotted and clustered all over and v.v as is the nature of Getting hold of tickets for Wembley. No one really cares, was sat in a mixed group of City and Arsenal at last years League Cup Final, lots wearing colours and it was pretty apparent when City scored who supported who?!

 

[Richy_Seagull]

So at 1:40 is everyone going to be kicked off and an new queue created?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

What about the opportunist SCOUSE tat-sellers? Can we buy from THEM?

I'll be honest. I've only ever seen Cockney ones down here. Get yer 'alf an' 'alf scarrrrves, only ten paaaaaaaaaaaands".

I don't even remember seeing Scouse ones when Liverpool were in town (much like their fans then )

Same Block 2 seats. So bloody excited

 

[Hungry Joe]

Block 133, row 39 for me and my brother. Oh yes.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

When I came up for the Notts County playoff final, I parked up at Harrow on the Hill, had pre match beer there (quite a few Albion had the same plan) and got the Chiltern train down to Wembley Park.

Can anyone who knows, let me know if this still a good plan, please?

Thanks

I live near Harrow and yes it very much is. If I can persuade the other ten in my group to come past Wembley then this is what I’ll recommend.

Four pubs [standard fare, nothing exceptional but cheap] within five minutes of the station and they’ll be designated on the day to us I expect albeit informally.

On street parking for c60p an hour and then free from 6.30 or £10 in the enterprising office car park on St John’s Road, Harrow.
