Players' hotel

Accordng to this thread on a Boro forum, Albion's players are staying in the city centre tomorrow night. Quite surprising that they didn't choose a quiet, out-of-town location rather than one in the middle of town, especially on a Friday. I'm sure the club knows best, though.

On another point, I wonder how they will prepare tomorrow evening? On the night before the match at Newcastle in '79, Mullery took the squad to see National Lampoon's Animal House at a flea-pit cinema. He claimed afterwards it was the perfect preparation - as everyone had a laugh and it made the team relax. Maybe Houghton should do something similar!

Perhaps they will be in the Travelodge with me!

They stayed at Jury's last season.

I agree that I'm surprised if they do the same this year given the magnitude of the game, although Jury's is pretty much full with Albion fans tomorrow night as well.

Hopefully getting their hair permed.

My girlfriend is at a party there on Friday night

Can you ask your girlfriend to take one for the team and keep them up all night letting the team smash her pasty in?

Perhaps the team might be going to see a 're run of the Deliverance, local information film.

Lovely turn of phrase from that thread-

I will never look at a pasty in the same way again.

Hope they've all been issued with these voltesque ear plugs.

 

[Official Old Man]

They'll all be in Wetherspoons then.

So we should all believe that then? Jury's Inn, Travelodge, Premier Inn etc, right in the city centre, sorry town centre? Yeah, right. Probably shacked up right now in a sports/spa/country club somewhere in Cumbria, less than 50 miles away.
