We were lucky enough to get tickets for this event and stood outside in the biting wind looking forward to the occasion. I was disappointed by the lack of thought by West Brom towards their fans.
- There could have been far more tickets available because there was loads of room - people without tickets were allowed in because of this.
- The positioning of the barriers could have been far better thought through – space for the Press blocked the view of fans.
- Adrian Chiles and others, stood behind the rows of official chairs, totally blocking the view of the fans in our area as Bomber delivered his speech. The problem was obvious as Chiles indicated such but nobody moved to one side, presumably because they’d been told to stand there! Surely, it doesn’t take a genius to organise something as simple as positioning barriers so people can see the person they’ve come to thank.

Bomber truly deserves to have a statue in his honour - it's a brilliant piece of art that is fitting for such a fantastic player. Bomber being Bomber, acknowledged the fans and his love for the Albion in such a sincere way, and regardless of the above, it was a privilege to say, 'I was there'.
