The Main Stand or Whitehorse Lane Stand (a.k.a Sainsbury's End) would be your best bets. The Main Stand is more family orientated but the Whitehorse would be cheaper although that stand is behind the goal.

Here's a map so you know what I mean. Link.
Hi Sattrega

Thanks for the info and map. I have joined him up as a member to order the tickets. Unfortunately I can't seem to get 2 seats together on either of those. They have offered Arthur Wait Stand U 40, would that be ok?

The Valencia game is currently live on Spanish TV for anyone else who isn't there today.

2-0 - with Wickham like this, who needs Benteke?

good game yesterday... wickham looks high on confidence going in to the start of the season. townsend looks more of a threat than either zaha or bolasie.

i reckon we'll get in a couple of strikers before the window closes but because we have inevitably dragged this on and on again the worry now is instead of ending up with benteke or berahino we'll have another kevin doyle situation...

We've reportedly rejected an £18M bid from Everton for Bolasie.

TBH, if they up it to £25M I would take it seeing as we have Zaha, Townsend, Kaikai and Sako. We could then use that to help fund getting a couple of decent strikers.

And now it looks like Bolasie will be going to Goodison for £30M!!

For that I will drive him there myself!

Yep, this should hopefully push the Benteke deal through, no excuses now.

Second striker coming in would probably be a year-long loan deal.

Bolasie out for that money and Benteke in would be a great move.

You don't really want to...take the money is the best option and walk away from Niasse.

Hasn't he only played about 5 times for Everton, though? His goalscoring record before that was relatively decent.

Yeah, just been reading up on him now. Looks like another Patrick Bamford or Yaya Sanogo from our perspective, only there if needed and sent back after the loan spell is up.

the bamford and sanogo mentions has just reminded me that pardews record when it comes to loan strikers is shite so why change that?

We've got Blackpool at home in the League cup. Not exciting, but could've been worse.

Happy with the home draw, although I have a feeling we'll go out early in both cup competitions this season.

Pardew's just given the pre-West Brom press conference.

Says that he doesn't expect any transfer deals (in or out) to be done by the weekend. Bolasie was still training with us today.

He expects at least 2 more signings in before the window closes but that may be more if we offload some.

Acknowledged that the displays were too inconsistent last season and we need to rectify that. First target is 40 points as quickly as possible.

bit peeved that we start the new season without sorting out the striker issue.

Campbell, Sako and Tomkins all definitely out tomorrow. Souare and McArthur are touch & go.

We've only one once in our last 8 opening day fixtures, but West Brom have only won once in their last 10 first games.


what's everyones hopes or expectations for the coming season?

I'm hoping we can quickly banish the awful league form we showed in the second half of last season and show some more consistency and hopefully push for a top half finish.

another Cup run would be nice too.

Hoping for a vast improvement in the league, what happened in the second half of last season was unacceptable regardless of the cup run.

And tying in with that we need a massive improvement with our home form this season. It's been dreadful for a while now.

I honestly have no idea what to expect this season. I do have a slight worry we could spend the season just trying to keep away from the relegation scrap.

What I want to see - definitely need to do better at home!

Plus winning the FA Cup and smashing Man Utd home and away if it's not too much to ask.
