Guest Alan_Shearer Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Think this is sold out now as it's been taken off the fixtures on the website. Can someone confirm? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Will more than likely just be that it is too late to start posting out tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deadmau5 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I dont think we will be able to gain 8 points on tottenham in 9 games, and arsenals form makes them out of our reach imo. Chelsea is a faint possibility but we have to go to stamford bridge, not looking forward to that like. I think as long as we keep liverpool below us, job's a good`un..

Guest Alan_Shearer Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 What would happen if you tried to get an away stand ticket at the stadium on the day? Cause of this whole no general sale/members only for our away games... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alan_Shearer Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Just got this off the Baggies site: "TICKETS for Albion's Hawthorns clash with Newcastle on Sunday will remain on general sale to home fans only until the 4pm kick-off." So even if there are seats left in the away end they won't sell them to you, mental that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Not really that mental, is it? Idiots ruined it for Newcastle fans at Darlington, they don't want to be handing out tickets to people they can't keep track of. And West Brom aren't going to start handing out away tickets to random people that walk up and ask for them. Means that if you're willing to keep Toon colours hidden you can sit in the home section if you're that desperate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolton Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I hope all those who are going on Sunday will be able to join in a minutes applause for an Albion great, Ray Barlow, who passed from this world last week, many thanks! ALBION are saddened to hear of the death last night of club legend Ray Barlow, a member of the 1954 FA Cup winning side. Born in Swindon on August 17, 1926, Barlow signed as a professional for the Baggies in the dog days of World War Two, just after his 18th birthday in 1944. The great Barlow stands at the pinnacle of the club's story, one of a handful of truly world class footballers that Albion have produced over 130 years and more of existence. A tall, elegant, powerful figure, Barlow made his debut in a Wartime League Cup game as Albion were beaten 2-0 at The Hawthorns by Walsall in February 1945. His league debut came as the game got back underway for the 1946/47 season, scoring in a 7-2 away win over Newport County in the Second Division. He scored twice more that season - both coming in a 6-1 win over Fulham - as he tried to force his way into the side at inside-left. He played there, at inside-right and, on occasion over the next couple of seasons, even having the odd game as centre-forward, but it was when he settled into a role at left-half in 1950 that the true greatness of Barlow began to emerge. A reader of the game, steeped in its lore, understanding it at some primeval level deep within his soul, Barlow, like all the true greats, dictated a game, bending it to his will, shaping it to his whim. There have been few passers of the ball to rank with him, not just at The Hawthorns, but in the game of football. No less a judge than Bobby Robson called him one of the best players he ever worked with, and that was no empty compliment for Barlow lived up to the accolade time and again in his 482 games for the club. The pinnacle came in 1953/54 when Barlow was the heartbeat of 'The Team Of The Century' that missed becoming the first team to do the league and cup double in the 20th century by a whisker, coming second in the First Division. Compensation came by virtue of an FA Cup Final win on May 1, 1954, in the days when that golden day at Wembley was the crowning moment of the football season. Pitted against Preston, Barlow had a dual role that day, helping Len Millard snuff out the threat of Tom Finney, but also prompting and probing when Albion had the ball. As the team trailed 2-1 in the second half, it was Barlow who urged the side forward, breaking into the penalty area only to be chopped down by Tommy Docherty. Albion had a penalty, then an equaliser and, moments before the end, the Baggies had a winner too, bringing a fourth FA Cup triumph. Barlow continued to be central to Albion's fortunes through the 1950s, taking over the club captaincy from Millard, leading the club out on a groundbreaking tour of the Soviet Union. As the decade ended, injuries began to take their toll and eventually, he moved on to Birmingham City, but played only a handful of games for Blues before retiring from the professional game. A quiet, retiring figure, Barlow shunned the limelight, perhaps accounting for the fact that he made just one England appearance, a scandalous statistic for a player of his incandescent brilliance. But England's loss was Albion's gain. Ray Barlow will forever be a cornerstone of the football club, one of its true legends, one of the foundations upon which Albion are built. We will never see his like again. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. Rest in peace Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I,m sure we will give Mr. Barlow a clap from our end. One of the better away days. Pre match Pint and a curry in the Vines. Would be great if we could win this one for a change then the Liverpool game would not heap so much pressure on us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yh i dont think we will catch Tottenham either dropping points against Sunderland and Wolves when we should have won really did us in as far as catching Spurs go. Do believe if we beat West Brom on sunday we can finish above Chelsea, ill be satisfied with finishing above the scousers tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means that if you're willing to keep Toon colours hidden you can sit in the home section if you're that desperate? To be fair the likes of Blackburn have no problem allowing away fans to pay on the day. NUFC need to remember that it was a minority of idiots down at Darlington that spoilt it for the vast majority who follow NUFC around the country without hardly any problems. Personally I think banning general sale for away games was all just a ploy to increase the club membership which they've promoted quite heavily for the past couple of years.

NUFCDoog Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Bloody hate West Brom, real voodoo over us for some reason lately. Can see this being another defeat, worried about the next few games in general actually, really tough 3 games that could see us well of the pace.

adamjk007 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Good news that's its sold out. Did we not finally take up the maximum allocation? I remember the club said Villa away earlier in the season was sold out but there was about 200 empty seats at the front. My Baggies mate still insists weve only taken 1,200. I'm hoping he's just talking sh*te though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
