Bus replacement south of Three Bridges is a real pain on a Saturday night but wouldn’t miss this one for anything. Is it going to be the highest ever ‘real’ attendance at the Amex?

Sorry to go all Chaileybot, but I'd say there have been several games where the ground has been absolutely packed.
Since the latest raft of little stadium capacity increases?

Didn't realise that was happening. Does this engineering work ever actually improve anything? With the amount of disruption we've had from engineering work in the last decade, you'd think we'd have the best train service on the planet.

Liverpool FA Cup game a couple of seasons ago springs to mind as being pretty much full. Not sure any major changes to capacity have been made since then?
It was 'completely' full. That's the point though - if one of the little tweaks has squeezed in an extra row of 50 seats somewhere, then this will likely surpass it.

It seems to me that it the engineering works are merely a sticking plaster instead of long lasting repairs, hence the repetition. I stand to be corrected though as there are people more knowledgeable than myself on this forum. When I was commuting I was infuriated by the constant repairs to the same set of points or signals that just never seemed to be fixed properly.

I've stupidly bought in Row A of the lower rather than the upper. Is there any way I can change?
I did that once, and just went ahead with it. I’m still wondering how anyone can choose to watch a premier division game from that position, and how can the managers have a clue what’s going on from down there. I’ve never understood why rugby managers sit high in the stands staring at a laptop, while football managers stand on the touch-line waving their hands. I suppose you do what’s best for you.

I sat in the front few rows of the West Lower once. The view is awful, it's so hard to see what's going on. I can't fathom why Managers watch from that viewpoint either.

But you have an unrivalled position for asking for a player's shirt. So, not all bad.

Just think how crap the service would be wihtout all those engineering works!

I sat by the dugouts for the Wolves game, the managers are constantly shouting and throwing their arms around but I am sure 90% of the time the players don’t hear them.

Especially when they do that ridiculous Bielsa-style squat which takes them down three or four more feet. Howe was doing it on Sunday, and Amorim (and Martin) have been at it too this season. What is that all about?

Could this be the highest ACTUAL attendance ever at the Amex for an Albion game as the number of no-shows is likely to be relatively low?
