Presumably these hordes also miss all your other games too, including the ones held for years in your 36k capacity old stadium, so I'm sure they're used to it.

You'd think so, although reading the 'Wembley Planning' thread it would seem there are great swaths of loyal Albion fan in exactly the same situation.

But I thought you said 'literally no one gives a shit'?

So that was a bit of an exaggeration as you also said you have been waiting 36 years for 'a game of such magnitude'.

All a bit contradictory.

Hardly one in reference to us very much giving a shit and the other in reference to your fan base seemingly thinking your first game there demands to be on tv because everyone gives a shit.

Either way it was relatively tongue in cheek. Enjoy your first game there if you’re going!

Annual mate. My ST went up 91% between Wembley and the new stadium. A couple of bad seasons and we will be back to 40k crowds at those prices.

Sorry, but I had to read this about 3 times before I was sure it was correct! That is ridiculous. Is it a like-for-like seat, or an upgrade you've gone for? The thing is, as we know at Bton, if you relinquish your season ticket, it can become damn hard to get near the front of the queue again.

I did upgrade slightly. My ticket was £695 for 21 games and the cheapest one I could have got in the new place was £995 for 19 games which would have been a 63% rise on a match by match basis. But as I was reluctant to carry an oxygen bottle to matches I bought a £1200 ticket.

No worries fella. Obviously it means a lot to us but unsurprisingly not so much to other fans. Personally I can't wait for the Palace game - as long as they don't bring those ******* drums.

There must be quite a few people that aren't renewing then (are there figures?). Can understand you paying the extra though. Luckily, my cheap seat at the Amex is lower tier!

Wow. I pay £1200 per year for my golf membership but I get to go 365 times a year if the weather and wife let me!

The new stadium effect made everybody dig deep but they did have to go a LONG way down the waiting list to offload them. Next season everyone will renew...thereafter, without any signs of success or player spending....i think they will start to struggle.

Although after we win the Cl this season................. :banana:

Holy shit, that's a lot of money.

Just ban the drums a la Watford then watch the ensuing implosion!

Do you get a sense of how the fans expect the move mid season will effect the players? Could be interesting for the top 4 if it galvanises them.

I think, like us, they have had enough of Wembley. I am hoping that the new environent and better atmosphere will give them a big lift.

Hopefully after we have despatched City in the QF we will get a big team in the SF of the CL (tongue firmly in cheek).

It'll be interesting to see if The Always decide this is a game that 'their' players need to turn up for? (it's worked well for them so far)

I'll hazard a guess most of the Always (and a couple of Albionites) would prefer it if Spurs were just given an easy path through to the following round of Champions League matches.

It could be a bad week for City, out of the FA Cup and the CL within 4 days.

I would LOVE that double to come off mate. I will be firmly in BHAs corner for that game.

As will pretty much every set of fans in the country (save for some pathetic whining scrotes in Surrey and SE1).

You wouldn't even get the top to that bottle into the Amex.

To be fair that is a baffling decision by Sky. Who wants to watch Man City at home to Cardiff? It’s a routine 3-0 home win with zero interest or unpredictability. If I’m sitting on the sofa that evening I’d much rather be having a look at a new stadium and seeing a more competitive game.

See i wouldn't. Spurs vs Palace has no baring on us at all. Glad they are showing the Cardiff game from a BHA prospective. Should be 5-0 minimum
