When I was knee high to a grasshopper my father and his brother took me to see the Baggies play at The Hawthorns I guess sometime in the 1950's.
They were both born in West Bromwich and my Grandfather, although born in Handsworth in a one-up one-down back to back terrace off the Soho Hill, he lived all his married life in West Bromwich. They were all keen West Brom supporters so, although I have never lived anywhere near the ground, I guess it gets in your blood.
Albeit I live in the North Staffordshire Moorlands with an on average 90mins M6 drive which isn't always pleasant, my season ticket is one of my treasured possessions and long may it continue to be so.
How did you become a Baggie?
