[Albion] U23 playoff semi finals this Friday at the Amax.

[Marshy]

No, but you can buy at the ticket office all day Friday in working hours, or online and print at home.

Cheers TB

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Three of us booked in - looking forward to seeing our free-scoring young guns in action. And seeing them stick one on the Boro, of course

£5 isn't a lot, but why don't the club make this free for ST holders ... if the bars are open, and it's Friday night, surely taking the hit on entry cost will be outweighed by them selling more beer / pies / soft drinks etc.

Get a grip !

 

[timbha]

General U23 league matches are free to STH, but cup matches have to be charged

 

[mattislost]

Just got me and the old man a ticket. Will be our first time seeing the U-23s

 

[BensGrandad]

I am considering going but being a 7pm kick off means it may be tight for Brother in law to make it . What is the normal or expected crowd for theses games?

I doubt there will be more than 20,000 there BG.

Pessimist

I'm not going unless they open ESU...i want my normal seat

Already done once this season. But it doesn't hurt to do it again.

Thanks for that as I was considering the public transport to and from The Amex probably via the 25 bus.

Unreserved seating in West Stand Lower only. No other stands open for now.

 

[Driver8]

Anyone know if this is being streamed?

 

[Mr Banana]

What's the atmosphere like for under-23 games? Is it as bad as those cup games against Colchester and Reading?

I'm almost certain I'm gonna go out of boredom, but I can't admit to my ego that I've got nothing better to do on a Friday night, so I'm gonna pretend to myself that I might not go until Friday afternoon.

 

[AZ Gull]

I have no idea if it is, but even if it were, I doubt the club would publicise it in advance.

Well....

Those cup games had attendances of just over 6,000.

The three U-23 matches at the Amex Stadium this season have had attendances of 243, 411 and 236.

If you are going, it will be to watch our up-and-coming youngsters (and hopefully cheer them on), not to experience a decent atmosphere.

That'll do! Bet they don't open a bar for us. Although would getting pissed make it even more tragic

Guess not but it would be handy for us who live a way away. I did go and watch them play Liverpool in the Youth Cup a year or so back ( at Tranmere).

 

[BensGrandad]

Just bought my 2 tickets.

 

[seagulls4ever]

Because the money goes to the caterers, not the club.

The club do get a % of sales from bars on match days

Do they? Enough to cover the matchday expenses?

Of course they do - I seem to recall it was 20% of the profit with the original caterers (although I can't find a reference for this now). I don't know what the current deal is and what the agreement is for non (first team) home game events such as these.

The caterers pay the albion £× million in advance for the catering contract.

The caterers take all the proceeds up to a threshold of £y million.

Above £y million, then the albion get a further share of the profits.

We obviously do not know if the caterers have hit the £y million threshold at which point the albion get a cut.
