West Bromwich Albion FC / Re: Albion Tackle Crowd Behaviour
« on: February 05, 2024, 07:54:18 PM »
There is no excuse at all for throwing anything at anyone. What I will say is if they are the same set of disabled supporters I saw both before and after the game outside then their carers were very mouthy and extremely hostile with no provocation at all from any of our fans that I could see. I have honestly never seen anything like it from a set of carers it was disgusting.

Yeah I saw a lot of this just outside, the lady was really gobby and just would not leave (not sure what happened as didn’t see that but something must had as she had lost it) some of our fans seem to take the urine which was disappointing but then resulted in a disabled blues fan to get his walking stick out like a club swinging it around … all the time the police were just standing around instead of trying to calm the situation down… they literally had to be dragged over to sort it out

Simple the club should immediately identify which seats where trouble makers came from and immediately ban them today, by taking quick and swift action it may avoid further punishment… they also need to change how they sell tickets for this type of game

Clips I’ve seen so far was wolves fans in the Halfords by the brummie which looks like the major course of aggro, also some wolves fans in the east stand. Problems in the millennium corner shows let’s say an a older man twonk a copper and tries to punch the rest of them before getting a baton beating

I may be Wolves fans in a home end, but it’s us who will get the blame. I can’t believe the length of the delay.

We only sold tickets to season ticket holders and members … you see where the blame sits

Who would have guessed … West Brom allowing season tickets holders to,purchase an additional ticket would not cause problems … selling to wolves and bringing people who haven’t been …. Could have sold to people who have a track record of attending games

I understand your frustration but going forward, if you go to most home games and pay full whack then you would be cheaper buying a season ticket anyway as it works out around 15-16 a game for adults and it gives you the guarantee of a seat for cup matches, or even buy a kids one for £23 and upgrade the tickets to an adult when you go to the matches.

This season it has worked out well and I have managed to go to most games but last season only a handful my situation isn’t normal as I have a disabled child that needs round The clock care so I just cannot commit now days, hence why I go when I can. After this and being told by the club I cannot even try to buy a ticket then for me that’s it I won’t be trying for any other games, which is a shame as it’s a release of stress for me but hey ho.

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  ;D) 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.

It could easily cope with a 80/20 split … did you go to villa park and the small concourse

Villa wasn’t a cup game where we had to give them 15% of the capacity

I was always talking about villa park and most other grounds the split between fans is 2 rows of seats maximum

I don’t see a chance any club would have 1000 fans in a stand like that against their fiercest rivals. I don’t think the police wouldn’t allow it. Don’t forget you don’t just have to segregate the seats but entry, concourses, toilets and exits (plus fire exit plans id imagine. Youve got a duty of care to stewards too, can’t have them as human barriers with unaccceptable level of risk. Sticking 1000 Albion in just seems unworkable whilst having acceptable risk management of all factors.

The stand is roughly half’s or all. Segregation could probably be narrower for some league games mind.
c

Against villa the stand was split so that argument doesn’t stack up. As most see them as their fiercest rivals

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

Does members mean you have an Albion account if so my mate does if not can he still buy them in Person from the ticket office and not be a ST holder.

No I believe being a member was £20 a season. Tbh it’s shocking that if you have brought tickets this season and you are not a member or season ticket holder then you cannot try to buy a ticket (after season ticket holders/members obviously) not a good way to treat the other fans

The ground isn’t big enough for this type of game and yet we set ticket prices at £20. Since we have no money they should had set these at normal prices £28

Very strange no mention of the fee. Has he gone on a free and this covers the cost of Wienmann?

Strange one as with the number of injuries and African cup call ups he was nailed on to start every game in January

I think with the game being moved to 2:00 and on a Sunday they have got the ticket pricing all wrong … for a start why because I am over 40 do I have to pay more than someone in their 20s … prob because of the above I’ll give it a miss

Any colour will do. Doubt anyone’s picky. 🤪

In all seriousness I don’t think our referees are corrupt in the slightest. They’re human beings who make mistakes, and get influenced by home crowds and the subconscious pressure from the big franchises at EPL level. It’s incompetence, not corruption.

And the standards seem to have fallen as the game has got faster. Many of them just don’t seem able to cope. This guy’s been in the Football League forever and has never advanced - which no doubt says a great deal about the quality of his performances.

He’s obviously never been good enough, but there he is out there tonight and making the same kind of egregious errors that have no doubt stopped him from progressing.

Sorry the crowd didn’t appeal , the players didn’t appeal yet he thought it was a pen ?

Yesterday was difficult for him to play the ball forward as he had no options … for some reason Wallace was playing all over the front line and not wide right

Played some good attacking football, although Boro did their best to help us with BTA's goal and the sending off. Thought Swift was very influential setting up moves and switching play. His goal is the sort we've seen too little of in the last few years. Shooting after running with the ball from midfield.  Sarmiento's also deserves a mention.
First half we looked very vulnerable down our left side and no surprise when they scored after a cross from that wing. I'm not criticising Phillips as its asking alot to go on his own dangerous runs and still get back to block off all the crosses.
I think we did the right thing second half in keeping possession, waiting for Boro to come out and lose their shape. In theory keeping possession means they can't score. But we went to sleep several times and it nearly cost us. Thought Furlong was poor today. Especially his crossing and attacking play.

If you watch closely when we have the ball Phillips will push right up and pieters drifts over to the full back role when we lose the ball pieters drifts back over to the middle to leave Phillips to come back … very tricky if Phillips doesn’t get back in time and obviously is not working when you see the amount and type of goals being conceded

Replacing Furlong is just as much of an issue. He's an absolute car crash of a defender. Not good on the ball either.

How ,any free headers in the six yard box has there been in the last 4 games ? That should tell you the centre half position is the one we really need to address first

To win games you need a striker .. to win the league you need a keeper … we now have neither … I can see trouble in the stands this coming season .. miles is useless
