Not to botherd about the score to be honest , a good performance would make a nice change from last season. I really hope for a good turn out for Ian Roper he deserves it, i've always been a big fan of his.

I'm told by an Albion fan/mate that their squad will be split, with half at Bescot and half at Kidderminster, where they are also playing a friendly on the same day.

May give us more chance, but I expect us to lose by a couple of goals.

Should be there.... anyone know if there is a cash turnstile? Suspect there will be long queues at the ticket office on the day possibly if there isn't.

Not sure where to sit? Do I go for the usual in the upper F2G or will it be empty? Not sure what kind of turnout to expect, anyone heard any figures for sales thus far?

Performance wise, Its only the second pre-season game, So i expect the players (and Albions) to spend all game jogging around at a snails pace. This is no time to risk injury.
I expect to see a good turn-out. I do wonder though, How long into the game before Ropes sticks in one of his trademark size 16's, and gives away a penilty?
And does anyone know what the pre-game/half time entertainment will be? Wonder if Wacka will be there?

:twisted:

It was a vienetta, and they wouldn't go to Farmfoods to get one. Still, at least there was a shout out to "Cheesybag in Box 5", if memory serves.

3 - 1; not quite the 4 - 1 win we had last time they played at Bescot; but we don't have that play-making midfielder anymore :wink: it was IMO his best game for us
