There's no way I will be appying. Have you seen all the restrictions.

Its everything back as normal or nothing for me !!!

That goes for the pubs as well.

20:15hrs kick off and I'd probably be on public transport that day. Can't guarantee I'd be there for a specific time slot and no guarantee I'd be back on that public transport following an orderly exit. It's a probable no from me for this one.

Whole thing seems a bit sterile to me anyway. Comes to something when I'd rather listen to a home game on the radio or on TV with a couple of cans. It's not a personal evolution that I envisaged just over a year ago.

Looks like an absolutely enthralling experience.
The little Hitlers in their yellow coats will have a field day at this game.

Looking at these precautions looks like you will need to be in your seat at least an hour before kick off and for an hour after the game finishes.
I think its a no from me.

I don't mean to be as disrespectful as this is probably going to read but I can just imagine some of them reading those guidelines and popping off to the loo for a quick one. And not a dump either.

I hadn't seen those. Sounds terrible!

[Atomic]

I'm in the ballot and although the restrictions are a pain in the xxxx for sure, I really hope I get lucky.

Cant wait to get back inside the stadium.

[SmethDan]

If anyone gets in make sure to let us all know what it was like.

[TheJacko2000]

I'm in. Will be an experience 

[kc56wba]

I have applied for this game. Mind you I dont fancy the idea of sitting in my seat for an hour before kick off. Will they open all four stands or just the Smethwick and Brummie?

Dunno mate. My guess is they will just open the East Stand as its right opposite TV cameras and it's almost as big as the Brummie.

Seen nothing to back up that view though.

Small point but the East Stand has a larger seating capacity than the Brummie Road.

No mate.

East Stand 8428
Brummie 8935

No mate.

Fair enough, didn't check but I could have sworn it was pitched as the largest stand in the ground when it opened. Does that figure for the Brummie Road include the extra seating that was put in for the Woodman Corner?

Dunno mate. Just know thems the official figures.

[LiamTheBaggie]

Not for me. I'll return when we're free of restrictions.

I'm not having my fun and enjoyment being dictated by some over eager marshals.

[baggie53]

Not for me. With 8:15 kick off and a 40 mile trip home, I'm not going to hang about for my row to empty before I can go home
It could be after 11 before you get out of the ground

[albion59]

I won't be bothering i usually go in the ground 5 minutes before kick off and leave on the final whistle i,m not going in upto 2 hours before kick off and staying up to an hour after!

[BB74]

Sounds like an awful experience. The day is so much more than just sitting isolated in your seat.

[TheJacko2000]

It isn't meant to be the normal matchday experience.

I hope to be picked just to do something a bit different while seeing YokuÅŸlu etc. live.

[SmethDan]

From my perspective I fully understand and appreciate that it's not meant/going to be a normal match day experience. I also know that as much as I'd love to see Pereira in an Albion kit before the seemingly inevitable happens, and Yokuslu too, as things are the 'experience' on offer and the practicalities surrounding it are of little appeal. The logistics of the West Ham game just don't work for me either. I hope all who attend have a great time though.

[iwastherein68]

To me there are no negatives, would love to be there.

[KN22]

To me there are no negatives, would love to be there.

Me too. Have just entered ballot.

[brummyroader]

Very OTT restrictions even for these times, not for me that they dictate what time you arrive...
