WBA (a)

Anyone know when tickets go on sale? Nothing on RFC Direct yet.

Also any previous tips for parking, or is the train the best option?

Once you get to Birmingham, get the metro from Snow Hill station up to the Hawthorns, the stop is right behind the ground and dead easy to get back to afterwards.

Street parking is tricky round the ground and there are a lot of matchday parking restrictions, but there are the usual collection of industrial buildings offering parking.

Tomorrow.

Plenty of parking close to the ground.

Get there early and have lunch in this friendly pub which serves the most wonderful Indian food from a room at the back of the pub. In fact, forget the match and stay here all afternoon!

The Vine is awesome. When I worked in West Brom it was our Friday night boozer. Good beer and amazing food on the Indian BBQ

Theres only been one away game this season, on a wednesday night, in which we still took over 2,000. I think the 1500 west brom saturday 3pm kickoff, not a long trip, will sell out very quickly. But then maybe only another 1,000 or so, i think the problem is they dont want to take 3,000 and have to pay west brom for the unsold 500 x 25 = £12,500

Perhaps there's the option to buy more depending on how sales go.

I note that both those clubs have a reduced price for over 60s whereas our cut off is at 65.

The 1,500 WBA tickets instead of the normal 3,000 allocation taken up by RFC is a poor decision.

The 1,500 ticket allocation taken will sell out very quickly at £25 each and only 2 hours down the road.

'Greed. If previous visits are anything to go by, it'll be cold, gloomy, wet, the pubs aren't great and we'll lose thanks to some sloppy defending. Best chippy I've ever been to though right across the road from the ground.

I cant agree wih you more. Really reasonable prices for premiership football and not that far to travel, 1500 seats i expect to be snapped up in a relatively short period of time.
