......and, as I said, I've watched about 600 WBA Home games and definitely not seen 60 Away pens - and definitely not 30 (1/2 that number) - more like 10 max.
Can someone back me up. It would be interesting.
Come to think of it, the number awarded to Albion has been nowhere near on par. Spooky.
In the last 8.5 seasons Away Teams have scored 13 pens (can't find stats for pens missed) at The Hawthorns - that's 1.5 per Season. I didn't realise it was as many as that, but I've only averaged 4 games a year since I moved away 7 years ago.
I'd like to know how many we've conceded in years gone by, but can't find such stats anywhere via Google. I'm interested, as I say, because I can hardly recall more than a handful - or 2 - in the 50 years before then.
Start every day off with a smile and get it over with
