No. Glad they didn't bother. Would have been a charade and everyone knew it.
Can only assume that our lot did t want to do it. Don't blame them.

Engraver was probably far too busy hastily erasing our name from the title trophy.

They probably knew Newcastle was going to win it. Thats why they had it up St James Park.

Pretty sure there are 2 of most trophies. Had my pic taken with the FA cup and Charity Shield just before an FA cup final when the original must have been elsewhere in the stadium

Who cares?
You obviously don't.
It was a genuine question as that was what was reported was to happen after the match.
They will probably have it delivered by cyclist on 13 May. A cyclist with a big basket in the front.

Albion are set to end the season with a silverware celebration at Aston Villa on Sunday – one way or another.
Plans are in place by the Football League to present the Seagulls with either the Championship trophy or runners-up trophy.
Chris Hughton’s side will go up to the Premier League as champions if they equal or better Newcastle’s result at home to Barnsley.
The League have TWO Championship trophies, The Argus can reveal, providing scope for presentations to take place at Villa Park and St James’ Park.
Hughton, his coaching staff and players will also be presented with medals.
The manager has put forward a list of 21 players, based on appearances. The club can request extra orders for players missing out at a later date.
A combined live audience of more than 90,000 people will watch the absorbing climax to the title race.
Villa are anticipating a crowd of around 35,000 for Albion’s visit, boosted by 2,700 travelling fans. They agreed to increase the Seagulls’ allocation from an initial 2,000.
A beamback of the match to the Amex has proved so popular that screening has been extended into the North Stand, as well as the West Stand. Interest has surged since Sky announced they have not selected Albion’s and Newcastle’s games for live coverage.
The beamback capacity is 6,500 and it is approaching a sell-out.
Newcastle’s gate against Barnsley is expected to exceed 50,000 as Rafa Benitez’s team attempt to hunt down Albion.
