Do you remember West Brom away in cup think that was 77,1-0 win snowing like fuck.

I do, sure it was a replay. Royle scored. I went on the special.

I got started on by a couple of feral, inbred 12 year olds by an ice cream van outside Saltergate in Chesterfield. Ended up with several busted ribs.


From laughing at them.

We had a lucky escape after the match in a Chesterfield boozer
Their main man came in and called over one of his “captains’ who had been amicably chatting to us for a while and told him that the 3 ‘Manc twats’needed to leave ……. NOW !!

A few comments about WBA away.
Always found The Baggies to be the most "normal" fans in the West Midlands .
Never had anything but a friendly welcome at The Hawthorns.
Anyone been to the scruffy Pub behind the Away End (10 minute walk) run by Asians ?
Scruffy as feck, but a good bunch of home fans go in there and always had a good bit of chat in there...

Agreed
I lived in Sutton Coldfield for a while and some locals told me about The West Bromwich Bowling Club over the motorway roundabout and I went in there pre-match
Gotta say, the recommended pint of mild is one of the best I’ve ever tasted …… to the day!!

It always surprises me that the Hawthorns is the highest ground above sea level in the country. They get a lot of snow on West Bromwich.

Blimey never knew that. Would have gone for Carlisle or Leeds.

And Boundary Park is the 2nd highest if I remember correctly.

yes correct on 1st and 2nd
M5 from the south to WBA always seems a lot of the journey is uphill motorway

And much (much!!) colder is Boundary 'Ice Station Zebra' Park.....

Another strange statistic about the Hawthorns , before that bastard Heath destroyed our wonderful historic county's in 1971 West Brom was in three county's. Think it had two corner flags in Staffs and one each in Warwickshire and Worcestershire. Call it all the West Midlands now. I believe the ground is actually in Birmingham not West Bromwich like OT is not officially in Manchester.
