Great video mate. From a West Brom season ticket holder we are very privileged to have such a nice home! If you ever want to come to a game let me know and I’ll sort you out with some tickets 💙🤍
My church love this place COYB
I enjoyed that trip to the Hawthorns and down memory lane for me. Last time I was there was in March 1968 when Everton beat the Albion 6-2 with 4 goals from my hero Alan Ball, two from the spot. Sadly for us Evertonians we lost at Wembley two months later, to a lone Jeff Astle goal after a tired clearance by Howard Kendal landed at his feet and he thumped it into the net.
I was living in the area at the time and I saw some great games at their atmospheric ground, the best of which was a night match vs Man u in the days of Best, Law and Charlton which Albion won 6-3, a hatrick from Astle and goals from Brian Kidd (2) and Law
We had a great game at Goodison in 1966 against Albion, which we won 5-4 after they pulled level after we led 4-1, two more goals from Alan Ball.
They have developed all four stands since those days and though smaller it looks great.
Thanks again Nick
Great vid mate 👌🏻
Great flyby with some good facts. Season ticket holder over 20yrs. Been going up the Hawthorns since 1986. Like most grounds it lost something when it went all seater. Best memory was rhe play off 2nd leg again Swansea in '93. Got crushed on the barriers as the stand was packed to the brim. The atmosphere was probably the best I've ever seen at the Hawthorns. Only one that came close was the play off 2nd leg to Villa 2019.

As a season ticket holder of too many years to remember it's great to see it from another angle
Safe travels
sandwell academy before it was built used to be Thomas Telford comprehensive school, mixed, before that it was sandwell secondary modern boys and girls schools which was separate there was also a jnr school called Albion jnr school at the front i attended both Albion jnr and sandwell secondary modern schools , and it became Thomas telford about a year before i left to go to work, it was then knocked down, and acquired by west Bromwich Albion to build there academy, the old training ground used to adjoin the the school separated by a fence, it was the old crittle hope factory land hope this helps
