    West Brom away sold out

    Our allocation of 2,700 has sold out three weeks before the game. Remember the days when we could take 5,000 and pay on the day?

    Out of interest, when was the last time more than 5,000 travelling Saints fans paid on the gate for a league game at The Hawthorns ?

    We used to take that many and more up there for cup games in the 60s and 70s.

    When Saints first got promoted in the 60s, it was common for Saints to take 5,000 to 10,000 to London away games, for example, packing the whole of the Park Lane End at White Hart Lane, and 3,000 to 5,000 to games in the Midlands. It seems incredible now, but back then capacities were much greater and anyone could pay on the day.Mind you, in that era, that was nothing special. Man United & Chelsea could take 10,000 fans to just about any away game in the country, where they could get in.

    In that case, the answer to your original question has to be a no - I don't remember it because I hadn't been born.
