[Albion] Wolves - Away tickets

[1066familyman]

Long thin stand, no roof.

Atmosphere is atrocious - Genuinely reminds me of the away end at Forest Green

Oh FFS!

 

[Doug-ees-evil]

We have a very good historical record there though (not that this has any bearing on this season's game of course).

What's specifically wrong with the terrace? Been to this ground ages ago but can't remember a single thing about it

Shallow terrace, roof is miles away above you, so effectively no roof, so almost impossible to get any atmosphere going. And if it's sunny you're right in it with no shade. also very low pitch view (which I know some like, but I don't)

In fairness I’ve been saying that since the early 00s and we still keep beating them home and away. It really is remarkable since the 70s. Along with Peterborough they must hate us! If only it was our record versus Palace, which it should be over the last 10 years but is the polar opposite really.

Looks like I'm in the minority of quite liking this away day. It's an easy drive, loads of parking, we usually beat them. Will be on the half way line, 5 rows back....looking forward to it....

I’ve been three times. I’ve seen us get nine points, score 11 goals and concede 5 in those three. And I can’t go this time…

Don’t forget your caps, sunnies and cream.

3-4 years ago up there was probably the hottest I've ever been at a football match. It was SEARING

Plus they still decided to use the flame gizmos making the first few rows even hotter pre game.

I remember Ipswich away, in the game where Chopra scored the same goal TWICE in the space of about 10 minutes! , and Vicente scored a screamer for us.

October 1st and 30 degrees!

Big scramble for water at half time.

That seems like a lot gone already, for day one sales?

Maybe it won't go to purchase history after all.

But assuming we have taken the full 3,000 - I can’t imagine this not going to at least MyAlbion+ members, if not purchase history.

I've no idea, but that just feels like a lot of sales for the first day to me.
That's just a feeling from watching other away day sales threads where I'm hoping for a purchase history window.

Not really when you consider that the top tier are the fans who attend a lot of away games and at the moment there are still more than half of the total available seats to go.
Each tier, even if larger than the first, is unlikely to match the demand of the first and by the time we get to all season ticket holders most of that tier will be people who rarely travel to away matches.
I will keep you posted.

Our record vs Palace over the past 10 years is fine.

15 points might incentivise some of the borderline T2/T1 to go to a game they might not otherwise.
I suspect this might make it to members. Can't see it going to Purchase history.

You might want to reword that first sentence.
Some people have other 'commitments' that have to take priority over Albion. Also those commitments change through your life. I was able to go to most/all aways when I was in my 20s because I had more spare money and no responsibilities other than to me. That had to change with kids, however my kids are just getting to the ages where I am finding I have more time again now (certainly not more spare money yet!!) so I can see over the next coming years I'll start my away days in ernest again.
But I'm just as 'committed' as I was 20 years ago......

It pisses me off that there seems to be this feeling that STHs that can't get to many aways have to doff their cap, scrape and bow because super uber fan doesn't go to one game.

Strange that off the back of a week where we've been beaten 3 times that suddenly 50% of super uber fans can no longer be bothered with this one.

Missing one game surely banishes any one from super uber fan status.

2750 is the capacity of the Steve Bull lower, so hopefully members are okay. If day one sales are anything to go by then I don’t think it will make purchase history

@jackalbion I've got some bad news for you
