[Albion] Do any West Bromwich Albion fans own cars?

LowKarate · Jan 26, 2019

I only ask because I overtook about 40 coach-loads of fans on the way home just now and that would be most of their fans attending today.

Counting the train travellers too wouldn’t leave many drivers in their lot. Must mean that there are few drivers in The Midlands these days. That’s Brexit for you.

I didn’t have much to say about the game. If pressed, I would say that there were some lively individual performances (Bissouma, Burn and Gyokeres all showing well), but let-down by an overall lack of team awareness of where and when to make the killer pass. Oh, and WBA defended well, so it wasn’t all about what we failed to do.

Their coach travel was subsidised for them today.
£20 return.

Must’ve been huge alcohol sales at the Amex and in Brighton today. Saw a big group of WBA fans walking up Queens Road at 2.30, still carrying pints of lager. Middle aged, the uniform was Stone Island and Burberry.

Deep down I knew that sort of thing would be the reason.

Might account for the handbags at Falmer station at 2.55

To the OP I saw one at Bridge car park

Already said, £20 for the coach and £15 ticket, well worth the trip. Good day out for the boing boing Baggies.

The pissed WBA fans we saw, were blokes in their late 40’s and 50’s. Old skool berks.

Are we better people because we are generally more affluent than people in the North?

Pathetic post.

Are you saying there are no BHA fans pissed and 40/50? Are we berks that should get over having a good time and wait for God?

See someone else’s post linking those fans to punches thrown. That’s all.

I have no problem with booze at all, I can handle it like you no doubt, without the need to attack people.

I'd attack absolutely no-one or get involved these days, it seems everyone needs a weapon, I'm not into that.

Too true, plus they could drink as much as they wanted too

All credit to Seagull Travel for their organisation of the coach park. Never seen so many away coaches but our return to Seaford happened at 5.15 dead on time, so ST got those away coaches on their way double quick.

Midlanders do tend to be more environmentally aware than some,being surrounded by motorways.With our excellent transport systems,owning a car is not really important.I understand that a car is essential for some,but otherwise, selfish,lazy, owners should be discouraged by punitive taxation to move them on to mass transport systems.

Think it was a time paradox they had walked through from 1981.

Well, I have a car and didn't make it to the match from the Steyning area. My clutch went at the top of Bear Road. Thankfully I made it on to Tenantry Down Road lest a few angry footie fans be caught behind.

I do believe that there is direct transport from the Rising Sun. Lesson learnt.

Good God! Have they been banned from the Amex as well?
