When is this likely to be up for sale? 

[Damo70]

Play it on the Tuesday and have a winner-takes-all League & FA Cup combo

I can't remember which country it happened in or even which sport it was but due to fixture and time constraints something like that happened fairly recently. I think it may have been America. That would suit their sense of drama and lack of patience.

Been up for sale a while mate, think it's about £150mill though.

From my experience of these games it's the least 'derby-like' derby imaginable. Any time I've been to one it's as if we're playing the likes of Bolton or Wigan, such is the apathy the majority of villa fans appear to have when it comes to them. I suspect that this pisses them off all the more, which is nice.

You obviously werent there the night Withey chipped Tony Godden.

1981 47998 were there if memory serves me well? 

[Lambert and Payne]

According to West Broms twitter page, they have 6,500 tickets. Safe to assume the inbreds will be above is in the North Stand upper and Doug Ellis

Witton Lane.

And the roads around Aston were clogged with broken-down cars containing "me and me mate " who were going but never got there.

Friday @ earliest probably

[PeterWithesShin]

If the last round is anything to go by they'll announce the prices on Thursday and start selling Friday.

[Legion]

I'll get ours on Saturday, then.

I'll get ours on Saturday, then.

May not be able to due to priority.

It's very funny how many of them are bleating about how hard it will be to get a ticket. Maybe if you went to games more fucking often you'd get one a lot easier. Wankers.

You would think the club operate a loyalty points scheme or something but we don't. We left our tickets for the Blues game in one big free for all where the 6,000 or whatever it was went within two days. Then we had problems as the system has been altered and only allowed you to make one transaction per ticket. Basically, it was a real mess and hopefully the club have rectified it.

We tend to have our larger followings in the cup matches - there is no doubts that this will sell out.

I am slightly worried that I won't be able to get a ticket. I'm usually at work when they're being sold and our place is quite strict on our internet policy. I'll be pissed off if I don't get a ticket considering I've only missed two games all season and many of those who got tickets for Blues did so because they were cheap and the game was only round the corner. Funny that we haven't seen many of them since..

[PeterWithesShin]

How hard can it be to do what we do? Stagger sales using a priority system based on booking history. That's shit to just sell them as a first come first served, meaning someone going to their first game in a decade has as much chance as someone who never misses a game.

Or any of those days in the 70s when no matter how viciously they tried to kick us off the park, we just kept beating them.
