Great draw, looking forward to it.

 

West Brom are **** at present , hoping for an upset.

We beat West Brom in the Anglo Italian ,English Final.

[For Us All]

The last time I went to the Hawthorns we won 1-0 with the winner coming from Ian Taylor.

Last time I went the home supporters were lobbing house bricks over the exit gates, as we tried to leave the ground. would have been the same match.

[Trentham Lakes Valiant]

We played them in the 2nd round of the League Cup in 1985/86 after beating Wigan,we lost 1-0 away in front of 6,218 and then drew 2-2 at Vale Park where 7,985 attended.

 

Yeah that's right. I thought we lost the away leg 2-0. I remember we outplayed them at VP but went 2 down but scored 2 in about the last 15. Also remember Garth Crooks played for them and elbowing Webby in the face.

 

But, Jesus, 30 years ago?

[The Kalamazoo Kid]

I would hope so. They got 11,000 at this stage last year against Oxford who took 2,000 so I'd be hopeful of getting 12,000. It's near enough for most folk to make it after work as well assuming a 5 pm finish.

 

Ticket details for that game were :-

Oxford United have been given an initial allocation of 2,800 tickets in the covered Smethwick Road End behind the goal.

 

Advance ticket prices are £10 for all supporters, other than under 17s who pay £5

 

On the day prices rise to £15 and £10 for under 17s

 

You'd imagine it will be the same for our game. Their evening home games all seem to kick-off at 8pm.

This was the match,good away following as usual.

Other than Stoke away this was one of the better draws away from home. A decent reward for Tuesday night

It wasnt that game. I was at the game you were on about andi think it was the 1-1 draw in March 1996.

I remember that too. I was 10 or 11. There were a few women and kids there. They were throwing bricks and stones indiscriminately. Fortunately none hit me or anyone I saw. Some classy fans.

 

Always hated the boing boing chant.

Me too- didn't we nick a point right at the death? They were not happy, not one bit!

 

I'm really looking forward to this one. I've always quite liked West Brom for two reasons- 1- family friends support them & 2- I really don't like the Wolves

[CAVALIER]

That game was the 2/2 draw. We were 2 down and Janson (I think) then Foyle in injury time scored. It got really tasty afterwards

[Arthur]

**** off west brom! We're Vale

[southport vale]

One of my favourite funny Vale moments I recall - Simon Mills in a wig !!! Does anybody know what year that was ?

 

Play Off defeat was also my lowest ebb compounded by that boing boing chant.

I think you're right Spunkers, their fans had either left early to ambush us on the way out or had everything planned and got their pretty sharpish.

Not a policeman in sight either. Hopefully the behaviour will be a lot better now. I fancy us to beat them and don't want a house brick as a leaving gift!
