40 coaches

by The Cap » 19 Mar 2010 22:29

Reliably informed by a steward last Tuesday after QPR game that West Brom have got 40 coaches coming down for their game on 27th. Apparently they provide specials every season and our game just happens to fall on one of those. After the Cup game expect fireworks. TVP at the ready.

Well lets hope then that the coaches are staggered into the ground. The stewards almost didn't cope last time with coaches arriving and trying to park up.

40 coaches?

I don't think there are that many seats in the dugout.

Equates top end to 3000 away supporters so it is plausable.

Nice one Avon. But when you think of their position in the league,the fact that they are playing us away and given whatever travel discount. Not too surprising really.

it is free travel for 2000 fans, all will be ST holders from what I can see and is first come first served. Doubt will be many making trouble, as getting back on to the coaches will be a tad difficult if arrested!!!

Actually, it probably means problems are less likely. No booze on the coaches, straight to the ground in a controlled manner, straight back on afterwards.

If I were an Albion fan, I'd say "fukk dat" and get on a train.

Cost-Co approach roads, more likely.

They were all parked in Speedway stadium for the FA Cup game - why would it be any different?

Because there is now less parking at the old HP site, and so the speedway stadium is more needed for cars? Or because Prudential are being more co-operative that they have in the past? Take your pick .....
