[Albion] The Magic of the FA Cup…

[jonny.rainbow]

… made 20,000 West Brom fans disappear!

What was up with that?

They’re going going great guns in the league and put a decent side out. Shocking support.

The natives there are restless - they don’t like the manager or the style of play, and even their results have tailed off recently.

great fa cup 3rd rd day .... as so often!

 

[loco61]

Annoyed i didnt go!

Other than under Bilic, to my mind for 20+ years they often seem to have played an unattractive brand of football. A load of giants, set piece obsessed, abrasive (dirty). Yet the fans didn’t mind one bit if it gave promotions.

Megson, Hodgson, Pulis, Allardyce.

They just need Colin Wanker and Hughes to complete the set.

Have you seen their fans' forum? They don't like anything! Miserable bunch if ever there was one - on a par with Stoke I reckon!

What was the attendance? How many of us?

Haven't been able to find attendances anywhere.

The draw is after the West Ham v Leeds game this afternoon.

Brighton is ball 10.
I want a home game against Luton or Harrogate Town.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

3 PL teams already out.

2 more are guaranteed to be eliminated.

Any draw which avoids our remaining 14 PL rivals will be fine for me.

I think the magic of the cup went a good while ago for many people.

Started when the FA let Man Utd drop out of it to play abroad.

Semi finals at Wembley.

The final taking place before the season's even finished.

The days of it being the show piece event and the whole nation sitting down to watch it on TV are long gone.

That's modern football for you really.

All of this. I’d also add ridiculous kick off times. How many 12.30 kick offs were there yesterday.

It's not a club I follow closely, but I do distinctly remember a lot of their fans phoning 606 at the time of Pulis. They all wanted him gone because of the style of football. The presenters were incredulous that any fan would rather see attractive football than stay in the top division at all costs. Idiot presenters.

I agreed with those fans phoning in then, and I still would now if it happened to us.

I was actually stunned as to how empty the home support was. Yes, it's a cup game but I imagined with ticket prices being relatively cheap they would've had around 15k but only 8 and 2k were us was a pretty poor turn out for them....
