The only planning I need to do is whether to wear PJ’s or pull on the stripes:shrug:

Maybe even pull on the stripes over the PJ’s?

:lol:

When the East/West pub split was announced I saw Box Park as being ‘ours’ and thought hmm would be worth making the effort to get there early for this.....


Until I saw this....

And this....

Then thought this....

So how much do we think this will cost and how many of the stated 2,000 capacity will go to ‘fans’ and what points threshold?

I’m going for:

£10 pre match
£25 pre and post

And

Open to >300 points for first dibs.

Sorry for being dim, if I am, but is there any way we can recognise fellow 'NSC'ers' in our pubs? It'd be nice to put some faces to names...

I'll be the one wearing the Tricolore bandana with a blue and white balloon 'crown' around it. Nothing else. :whistle:

Looks like a glorified food court.

Give me a proper pub!

The Boxpark thing looks like it's been deliberately targetted at 1901ers. If you want something a bit more corporate with guaranteed entry, decent food and Albion legends then why not? There'll be a natural audience for it.

It's not for me though. Globe or JJ Moons probably.

Public venue?! It's not literally a park.

Hmm...

Granted but it WAS listed as one of OUR designated drinking establishments.

Take it you’ll be first in the queue GAGGING for tickets then?

I'm pointing out the mis-use of the phrase "public venue". It's a privately owned establishment.

And "disgusting commercialisation"? It's literally designed to make money.

Ok then how about I re-word my entire post just to suite your pedantic pallet?


I guess I am just frustrated that one of my potential venues of choice pre-match has been hijacked by the club to use for it's commercial partners/sponsors (guess we know where those 5000 offsale tickets are going now) and then re-packaged in a very thinly veiled way, by saying a 'number of fans' will have the opportunity to tag along for the ride in the 2000 capacity venue at yet another cost.

Is that better?

Had to read that twice. First impression was that the badana and balloon crown was being worn around your manhood which you affectionately refer to as 'it'!
