A question for anyone who purchased the programme from Saturday's game: was there any mention of Albion's new scholar intake for next season? They usually introduce them in one of the last programmes of the season. If so, could someone post a photo of the article, or at least list the names...

Does anybody have any information about the travel arrangements for the England U-20 rugby fixture at the Amex next Friday? Will Park and Ride be in use, and if so which venues, and must tickets be purchased in advance? Are there any other parking options?

Congratulations to the...
Hi Insider
I wonder if you would ask the media team who cover the home U-21 matches if they could tweet a photo of the teamsheet each game? They do an excellent job of providing updates as it is, but it would be very useful to know the opposition line-up as well as the Albion line-up.
Thanks
Hi Insider
During the commentary for last Saturday's defeat at Blackpool, Guy Butters suggested that Bruno might have been booked in the aftermath of the Blackpool goal, but I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else. Could you confirm whether Bruno (or indeed any other Albion player) was...
Des Hutchinson is one of our 2nd-year scholars. He is from Ireland; he played for Waterford Bohemians FC before joining Albion in the summer of 2013. This season he has been capped 3 times by the ROI U-21s. He is a midfielder, I think he is usually played wide.
Just noticed that he was involved...

The Argus informed us yesterday that Arab-Israeli Beram Kayal is a practising Muslim who prays 5 times a day. It set me wondering how many other practising Muslims we have had on our books over the years. Yaser Kasim, possibly. Any others?

Hi Insider
Neither the BBC website nor the official club twitter feed mentioned it, but the Argus match report indicates that David Stockdale was booked last night against Ipswich (and a few posters on here have referred to it). Would you please confirm whether or not he was booked, and if so...
