After a few days of online-only sales, the ticket office will accept telephone bookings from season ticket holders while members will be able to book online as well. After another few days, members will be able to book by telephone and after a week or so the remaining tickets will go on sale through Ticketmaster to supporters registered on the club's database.

Getting There and Staying There "I have written an article on West Brom's upcoming semi Final with Portsmouth at Wembley", gushes David Dean enthusiastically. "It contains information on travel to London and where to stay along with transport information for people arriving in London by car, train or bus. I was hoping that you would put a link to it on your site as it is useful to West Brom supporters going to London for the match. You can find our article at the web address below." ? www.matchhotels.com/blog/football/west-brom-vs-portsmouth-fa-cup/ No problem. Let us know if you find it useful. A lucky omen? We beat Portsmouth on our way to winning the cup in 1968 and also in 1931 when we went on to do the famous (and only) promotion and cup double. As now, Pompey were a top flight club. We have played them 4 times, 1931, 1939, 1956 and 1968. The only time Pompey have won was in 1939 and they too went on to win the cup. - nottsbaggie Previous Stories:28 February 2008: Season ticket prices reduced again! 18 February 2008: FA Cup R6: Bristol Rovers away 14 February 2008: Blades sack Robbo Back to the News Index |
