[Albion] FA cup 4th round, Sheffield united

[BenPage]

Can anyone tell me what the likely date of the 4th round vs sheffield will be on and ticketing sales dates by any chance? presumably if on a weekend they would give a large allocation?

cheers.

At the ground now. Just brought two tickets. Only two left if anyone is interested.

"brought"

 

[Vin]

"brought"

Why are you mocking me?

 

[seagullwedgee]

I think he’s pointing out that the past tense of the verb “to buy” is ‘bought’ not ‘brought’.

Brought is the past tense of the verb “to bring”.

I haven’t been to an away game in years. We have our paper tickets, additionally is ID sometimes checked away FAC games?

I have rootled round in the loft and dug out my photo driving licence just in case.

And today I received a letter telling me I have to renew it, as it's 10 years old. Can't do it online, as I don't have a passport, my local Post Office aren't one of the main ones. Going to have to drive 15 miles, and pay extra (£21.50 instead of £14) - just to get a new photo on a driving licence that used to be free. I don't even look that much different!

Where are people drinking before the match? We get to Sheffield at 10.43 so plenty of time for a drink or 2

ID is checked at all away games but not for everyone. They pick punters at random. We’re taking ours.

Visiting Brighton fans.

I am travelling to Bramall Lane with half a dozen Brighton fans on Saturday. Can you please advise of any car parks and away fans pubs close to the stadium. All information appreciated. Cheers.

From a "is it a decent pub" perspective, I'd back up the Beer Engine and Sheaf View recommendations on that thread.
Brothers Arms slightly further up the hill from the Sheaf View is good as well.

At the station is the excellent Sheffield Tap with nice ales. En route is the Triple Point that will get rammed post match. Rutland Arms had good selection of ales, as did the Lord Nelson. The latter being a Home pub with United shirts on the wall but made us welcome Friday. Saturday we're off to the Kelham Island area for a good selection of bars.

I had this a few years ago, got told my license had expired . . .WTF's that all about! When it cam back they'd taken half my entitlements off it.

After I'd gon eballistic they reinstated it all. The DVLA's on line stuf is very good to be fair, but if you hae to actually do anything on paper it seems to get directed to lobotomised goldfish.

I'm still engaging in argument with them about reregistering a scooter I've had since 1996!

I've still got my paper licence (benefit of not having moved in 30 years ). Never gets a second glance when hiring cars abroad

I keep on meaning to get it done but now you've put me off.

The Wellington and Shakespeare's are both good down Kelham Island way (neither of them are actually on Kelham Island). Wellington's a Neepsend brewery pub.
Obviously there's loads of good pubs and bars down there but I tend to rather unfairly file most of the others under either "hipster nonsense" or "not noticeably changed since 1977".

The older I get the more inclined I. Am to fight the system and the less fucks I give

I'd forgotten how cheap this pub is. £3.30 for a pint of Deception.
