JBFC II Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 The original allocation was 2000 so that would make it around 800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT The Optimist Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 A fantastic unusual pub called The Vine. Away fans welcome. Used it a few times. Decent parking. 15 mins stroll to ground. Find it on google. It serves great Indian dishes. Saturday game great away day, midweek pants. Never mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banjo Island Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 The vine is well worth the effort its about 15 to 20 mins walk great atmosphere and if you like currys you will be very impressed they have several chefs in the mddle of pub where you can see them cooking your order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT The Optimist Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 I will add I was told it was the local of Frank Skinner of 3 Lions song fame. West Brom fan. Last time I went he was in there enjoying pre match. Few years back . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Ever noticed how the fixture computer so often has City away to WBA during the Winter months? THAT game in 75-76, got back and had to de ice the car. During the 1st div days (1978?) we were there on New Year's Day and Boxing Day. In the forty odd years since, when in the same division, we've seemingly always been at the Hawthorns in the November - February period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 I'll be doing my usual for this one. Go into Birmingham for pre match drinks then get either the train or metro to the hawthorns. Doesn't take too long. Mind you I live in the Midlands so easy for me.
