[Albion] Who's off to Stoke on a cold Tuesday evening?

[TomandJerry]

Any excuse to use this ..

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

I've been to Stoke twice, once to the Victoria ground and once to the Brittania.
Both games ended in 1-0 defeats for the Albion, both times the weather was cold and miserable.
I hope I never have to go there again.

 

[BN9 BHA]

no funerals that day, so a 1pm departure.


We have a space in the car, so if anyone wants a lift PM me

Is the space in the back of the hearse?

Why wasn't this game played on the weekend?

All ties in this round were scheduled for mid-week due to the World Cup.

Unfortunately not.

FA Cup 5th round matches have been midweek for a while now, and will continue to be midweek in the future.

 

[World of Sport]

I went to the old ground in the 70's on the Seagull Special train, I think it was £3 or £4 return

Oh yeah we had Leicester a few years back, good point.
Wouldn’t know about last year but sure you do!!

Yeah we got hoofed out by Boro .

 

[Live by the sea]

2 of us going. About 2 hours south of us.

Blimey if it’s 2 hrs south , you must live near Scotland !

 

[papajaff]

Yep, I'll be there.

 

[Official Old Man]

Just realised tickets for the three away games at B'muff, Chelsea & Spurs go on sale at the second tier at 9:am Wednesday (mate hasn't enough LP's yet. Getting home at 4 am from Stoke and getting up 4 hours later could be fun.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Because Stoke played Millwall perhaps ?

 

[Sorrel]

One of the (few) advantages of living in the Midlands was being able to get to midweek games like this; too far now unless I take a couple of days off work. Good luck to all who are going!

Was that the 2-2 draw , last minute equaliser from Maybank

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I won't be going to this one unfortunately.
Glad the club have increased the loyalty points for this one.

Very impressed with the numbers going.
How many tickets were sold in the end?

Duplicate question from me. Read that we sold the whole allocation, at 15% that would be 4,500, which would be seriously impressive for a midweek game. Is this correct?

Given the LPs are dependent on scanning in at Stoke this evening, I would be surprised if the LPs on the ticket website reflect attendance tommorow morning.

 

[Albion my Albion]

I think I read a book by that name once.

"Who's off to Stoke on a Cold Tuesday Evening?"

Worked in and around the Potteries from 1986 to 1991 doing asbestos surveys.

As an area it is absolutely shit, with the exception of the fact that you can get fresh Staffordshire Oatcakes from almost every cornershop.
