[Albion] The "West Brom cup game - waiting for the upper tiers" thread *** all areas open! ***

Is it though? He is giving the tickets away not selling them.....not sure.

YES. 100% sure.

 

[Simster]

It was ruddy obvious as soon as they announced the KO time and pricing.

They bollocksed up Coventry though!

They did the same thing, no?

Coventry pricing was £18 and £6 for a 5th round tie including travel and various bits of the ground were opened up every few days based on demand.
So not sure what the difference was.

This is going well - should be a pretty full ground. Extra kudos of annoying West Brom by writing "Albion v West Bromwich Albion" on the tickets*.

*Yes, I know we write "Albion" every match. But West Brom don't know that.

The only thing I would criticise is not opening the North Stand, depriving those who like a good old sing song. Seems like the club has learnt from this.

Is singing banned/physically impossible unless one is standing within the confines of the North Stand?

a common gathering place normally helps.

Unless I’ve completely lost my marbles I’m pretty sure I was in the Northstand for the Coventry cup game .

Having been to matches where the North Stand is not open then yes, as the singers are split up around the ground. Even when they start gathering at the edges there are 2 lots on opposite sides of the ground. I think North Stand should be opened before East Stand.

I was 100% there so no marbles lost !!

the prospect of Snow etc has pretty much receded. Current forecast is a balmy and dry 7 or 8 degrees at 3pm next Saturday.

Not in your camp but should I look for mine? NS was closed for one match wasn’t it?

Southampton perhaps?

Yes it was closed for the Southampton game in the Haribo cup, and was closed for the Barnet game too whenever that was.

They’ve only opened the front half of each block in the WSU.

Yes. And ticket sales in WSU have been a bit disappointing. In round numbers only c.1,500 have been sold leaving c.4,000 empties up there....?

If WBA sell out the South Stand then we are on about 26K at the moment. Hopefully sales will go well this week.
