RedRoss Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 After browsing this topic in summary: The game is likely to held between Friday night, early Saturday, maybe even 3pm Saturday, early Sunday or potentially Monday. The allocation will be between 6k or 9.3k We will take between 5k or sell it out with 9k plus. The cheapest tickets might be £10 or upto £45 quid. David Moyes may or may not give us a two armed wave. 2 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topper 123 Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 13 hours ago, Harry said: Yep. Early kick off this one. And I totally forgot. Was stood on the bus stop in Cadbury Heath waiting for the 1pm number 45 to get me to the game. It was only when I was stood on the stop daydreaming that the realisation suddenly hit me that the match was an early kick off. You know sometimes when you’ve forgotten something and all of a sudden it just pops into your head and you think “ohhh bugger!!” That was me that day! I remember a night game at the gate in early 70s with the hammers , I was in east end and a crowd of cockneys got in suddenly a gap opened and this West Ham coloured chap with a large leather cap came forward and produced a large knife ( frightening ) crowd surged forward and he lost his footing, oh dear anyway great game West Ham won think it was 2-1 Clyde best and Trevor brooking some great players in that team Billy bonds , frank Lampard , Mervin day in goal , great night very exciting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and a (West Ham supporting) mate came down from Brum for the game, not realising it didn't kick off at 3. We were so upset, we went out and got absolutely battered in town.

devoncider Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 so so we're not a TV game, as expected. Only reason to move from Saturday 3pm now is OB... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC1512 Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 I’m guessing they’ll split West Ham and millwall up. But would they want West Ham and Arsenal on same day on the Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spread them out for overseas telly as well, there'll be more games that don't kick off at 3pm on the Saturday than do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite sure how some of those games have made it onto TV. Probably only selected because they're premier league ties. You'd have thought something like Gillingham Vs Sheffield Utd would be a TV game over Spurs V Burnley. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 Would be very surprised if it isn’t on Saturday now. Palace on Thursday, Spurs on Friday & Arsenal on Sunday gets a lot of the other London games out of the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wokingham Red Posted December 7, 2023 Report Share Posted December 7, 2023 Think it’s 50/50 now at this point after the TV announcements. Either our game or Millwall will be moved to the Sunday. My concern is that OB will be worried about the sheers numbers we’ll bring if it’s a Saturday. Leicester won’t bring that many; bit on an underwhelming draw for them. Should find out tomorrow.

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 I'll defend seagulls a bit. Fish..plenty of overfishing has severely reduced their natural food supply. Coastal erosion in part attributable to human activity, building further and further has reduced their habitats somewhat. We had some who visit us, not even for food- just like looking in and interacting albeit given their excellent manners and actions perhaps they are different seabirds who look a bit like seagulls. Idk there are some though. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 I was sent this last night, and if that's the lot it leaves ; West Ham United v Bristol City Fulham v Rotherham United AFC Wimbledon v Ipswich Town Millwall v Leicester City Chelsea v Preston North End Queens Park Rangers v Bournemouth Brentford v Wolverhampton Wanderers There are still games to be moved IMO , can't see the Met wanting all those fans coming out at the same time on a Saturday afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baba Yaga Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 I don't know how it works but I imagine the 4 west london clubs never play at the same time, 2 or 3 tops. Looking at Orient since its close by they are due to have a saturday 3pm kick off in league 1 against Blackpool, but Blackpool still have a 2nd round cup tie to play. That could potentially be a problem even though it most likely won't go ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
