West Bromwich Albion FC / Ticketing system

« on: January 24, 2024, 06:22:30 PM »

Now that the rush for tickets for the wolves game has ended I really do think the way the club organised how the tickets should be sold was and is a farce. For a start smethwick end season ticket holders should had been first to buy unoccupied seats in the stand, than season ticket holders and then members. Lastly any remaining tickets should have been on the points system for fans that do actually go for some games. (Which is now me) before the pile on starts about part timers etc I was actually a season ticket holder for over 20 years starting with Saunders but circumstances mean I now cannot attend every game, but when I can I go. I was a member when it was a fiver but when they increased this to £20 there really isn’t much benefit when you pay full whack for your ticket. My argument isn’t about not getting a ticket but the fact that I cannot even try and buy one (this also includes the blues game) when I am on the system and been to most home and some away games ( every time we have also won  ) the club are happy for me to buy a ticket for a Rotherham or a swansea but will not allow me to try and buy a ticket for a wolves or blues.  It’s even more galling when a number of people who haven’t been to 1 game this season are going Sunday. I am annoyed and since the club have effectively barred me will not be buying any more tickets this season when I am free I go to Halesowen town. Nor will I be using my cash in the club shop. I know a few people like me that are feeling like this.

West Bromwich Albion FC / Segregation

« on: January 17, 2024, 05:58:06 PM »

Why is it that the Albion has such a large segregation in the smethwick between away and home fans … I haven’t seen any other club have such a large gap. Obviously most teams would have had the 1000 + fans in the smethwick but not us. I been to villa park white hart lane etc and you could stretch out and touch the home fans (only stewards stood all along the rows) worst thing the smethwick is an ideal away end for segregation as well. A lot of fans are going to be disappointed next Sunday

West Bromwich Albion FC / Reasons to be optimistic

« on: April 26, 2021, 01:53:05 PM »

When we go down we do have reasons to be optimistic for the championship.  We have 2 proven championship strikers in Grant and Robinson, pereira and Diangana can tear up this division, Townsend and O’Shea are better players now than last season, if Johnstone goes we have a ready made replacement in Palmer. Bartley and Ajayi and Furlong won’t have the standard of premier league players to deal with. Centre midfield is the only area Livermore and Sawyers we may need to find replacements

West Bromwich Albion FC / Ferguson transfer fee

« on: October 10, 2020, 06:50:53 PM »

When will Ferguson’s transfer fee be settled? It seems bonkers that it takes so long for a tribunal to decide the fee and even worst that this happens when the transfer window closes, I doubt any of this has been factored into a budget not even a conservative estimate.

West Bromwich Albion FC / Talksport

« on: July 24, 2020, 09:24:15 AM »

Listened to talksport for the first time yesterday in a long time, total bias do  they hate us or is it just London centric, the lack of knowledge is criminal, we are a yo yo club, bottled it so Brentford should had gone up, tried talksport 2 now and it’s even worst same as the above along we were not entertaining just functional, no chance of staying up etc etc

West Bromwich Albion FC / Team Spirit

« on: February 22, 2020, 06:57:23 PM »

Not seen a team who have bonded as well as this lot since the days of Megson, the way the bench went mad was a joy to see, players like Austin must be busting to get a game but you can see the joy when Kanu scored the third, the way Robinson has seem to fitted in, they look a real tight knot group which can only benefit us moving forward.

West Bromwich Albion FC / The club is just too nice

« on: May 12, 2019, 08:45:36 AM »

Another game and another load of decisions going against us. You never hear the club coming out criticising referees the fa or anything. Gayle gettting done for diving while others nothing, the game we was forced to play at West Ham when we went down. Even the press take the micky the constant sky biased talk sport stating the club was racist etc etc.
We should have come out after the game and moaned moaned and moaned, we should be highlighting before the game just how much diving Grealish does. I honestly believe this does impact on officials before the game hence why Gayle gets nothing now.
We should state our case yet also seem to meekly accept the rubbish that comes our way.

West Bromwich Albion FC / Where did it go wrong?

« on: February 03, 2018, 04:31:34 PM »

2 years ago we had a real chance to kick on and establish ourselves as not only the top midland team but also in the premier league. As per normal we didn’t take it, too happy to do the bare minimum and try it on the cheap. We appoint a chairman from yesterday who presided over Blackburn’s decline, the owner sold up to the only people who would give him the money but in doing so had nothing left to invest in the club, cheap option players, no long term planning.

The club is a mess

West Bromwich Albion FC / What to do?

« on: February 10, 2016, 09:14:21 PM »

Since ashworth left the club has been in a total shambles Garlick is out of his depth the joke of Irvine and getting terry burton in the panic buys on big money, the clueless signings I really did hope Pullis would take no pooh and stop the rot but still crappy transfer windows and our best players are still brunt and Morrison. How on earth after all this time we still cannot find better players than them 2? I really do not know what we can do except have yet another rebuilding job. Looking at the squad I would only want to keep about 6 of them.

West Bromwich Albion FC / Sending off

« on: March 22, 2015, 06:21:57 PM »

I am really confused, the referee makes a mistake and sends the wrong player off. But now Dawson who was not sent off has to serve a one game ban, what if McAuley had been Myhill ... We lose the goalkeeper for the game lose the match because of the refs mistake and then Dawson has a one game ban. How is that fair???
Losing a fallback is easier then a centre half and after the idiot got 2 players banned after the seal game as well
Would this happen to Chelsea etc???

Great piece on BBC sport.

So the fans wanted pepe Mel to stay but the players didn't and now the fans do not want Irvine but the players do.

So who wins?

West Bromwich Albion FC / Your club needs you

« on: March 09, 2014, 08:03:44 PM »

We can on all shout what went wrong what is going wrong but the next 4 games are vital. Stop slagging the players off do you really thing the boos and moaning of brunt Morrison and yes ridgewell is doing any good. Do you really think ridgewell deliberately plays bad ?? hey if he was cheered it might lift his game .... The fact is he is the best left back we have got. The Hawthorns need to lift the players not the other way round and also away from home. The club needs to ban the players from speaking to the media, twitter etc and create a seize mentality of us v them........ Lastly Mr Peace you must do this for the Cardiff game when the players come out of the tunnel play the liquidator image the noise that will create sod the PC brigade this game is too important a one off to get us and club all pulling together .... If someone with access to the right people tell them !!!
