Tony Pulis receives embarrassing snub after less than 50 students turn up to watch the West Brom manager speak to the Oxford Union

However, it seems like the members of the Oxford Union are primarily of the latter persuasion - after less than 50 of them turned up to watch Pulis hold a talk at the University on Sunday.
