Well, looks like I’ll be seeing Albion in Europe for the first time tomorrow, a unique opportunity for me as I explained to the wife! 
Anyway, 2 and a half hours up the motorway from where I live, a half-decent stadium near the beac h and no excuse for not going really… Pepe Mel’s Deportivo la Coruña will be using the game as a warm up for their first game of the season against Real Madrid so they’ll be taking it seriously.
Also, the game is in fact one of the longest running pre-season friendly tournaments in Europe. It’s called the Teresa Herrera and there’s a very nice trophy for the winners.
Albion played this tournament back in 1979 when it was a 4 team contest. The teams involved were Sporting Gijon, Albion, Deportivo and Real Madrid with Laurie Cunningham playing his first match for them I believe.
Anybody else going?
And it's a big 'n
