Like it better when this round is seeded so got a chance of a new ground.

If someone asked me what tie I wouldn’t want it would be Arsenal at home

Why can no one ever get the history of our club correct? It really winds me up! After we were drawn out, when they tell you when they won it or where in the final she said west brom won it in 96!! No we didn't get your facts right!!

Oh well, concentrate on the league, our reserves knocked out by arsenal reserves, at least it's better than being beaten by Newports reserves  ;D

Good test for the players who will have had a few more weeks of Ismael. Could be a potential shock and almost certain to be on TV. Hope we sell out.

No chance of us selling out mate. 10 000 - 15,000 would be my guess depending on how many Arsenal bring.

You mean Arsenal Reserves of course, although it'll probably be Albion Reserves playing them. Bring back the Central League!  ;D

We used to get good crowds as a championship side when pulling Arsenal and Man Utd out of the bag. I get the novelty has worn off a bit but I'd be disappointed if we didn't go over 20,000.

Cup games come with ten loyalty points as opposed to five loyalty points for away league games.

Good way to boost your points for away game ticket priority dates and enjoying the online sales platform 'experience'.

What a way to talk myself out of attending a fixture I would otherwise be at  ;D .

We got just over 18,500 in 2013 when we went out to Arsenal in the 3rd round but we were in Pl then and had just had a very good season. The following season we had only 10,500 for the 3rd round tie with Hull City who were also in the Pl at the time.

I'd expect us to have around the 12K-15K, depending on results leading up to it (for us and Arsenal).

Didnt the club offer a free cup ticket to those that took up the streaming option when games restarted without fans after the break. That should boost numbers

Never mind. The proper cup competition starts in January.

True, but in 2013 home season ticket holders knew they were already going to see Albion Arsneal at home in the league.

As a championship side in 2003 and 2006, we achieved over 20,000 both times.

We’d only played arsenal and united once at home in 18/19 years and we’re still considered big games, now we have played them how many times in the last 20 years the games aren’t as glamorous anymore

Imagine if this fixture was pulled out the hat 20 years ago. We would have been able to sell the ground out twice over.

I cant go to this game cause I will be self isolating as I go into hospital the next day for a day case. Looks like listening to the radio then. >:(

Loyalty points are awarded after the game. Think you (or by proxy) have to attend to be awarded the points. If so you'd be just as well giving me the money. If you've got a mobile banking app I could PM you my account and branch numbers if you like  ;D .

As a season ticket holder can anybody point me in the right direction of getting my seat through the shambles that is the official web site?

It says on my account that it has been loaded on to season card and also gives the option of printable ticket. It says status confirmed and £0.00. So does this mean I have a free ticket?

I cant remember what they said re. the streaming, it was that long ago.

Same for me.

Really need to get this ticketing platform sorted.
