Brummie Road End - Happy 50th Birthday
#1
On the 7th of November, the Brummie Road will turn fifty; it was on that day in 1964, in a match against Blackpool, that Albion fans first congregated on the terraces of the stand then known as the North Bank - at that time still quite small, and only covered since the summer when the old roof from the Handsworth Side (Rainbow Stand) was added to it - and turned it into Albion's "home end". The culture of home ends was only just beginning around the country that autumn, and though several clubs latched onto it before Albion, the Baggies were the first in the West Midlands to gather together for songs and chants during the match.

In the six weeks to go before the anniversary, it'd be great to gather together all of the best and worst memories of the Brummie Road End, including all your favourite songs and chants from through the decades, and experiences of watching matches from those hallowed terraces.

Happy birthday, Brummie Road.
