Hi Heavy; welcome back. I have supported The Albion since about 1958 when
the majority of kids around me were opting for Utd, Spurs and other big name
teams. Up in North Shropshire there were a few Albion supporters but not many
since, at that time, Wolves were a very big team. I have stuck with The Albion
and seen the ups and downs and really enjoyed the ride but lately I admit its
difficult to feel the spirit; if you know what I mean? I’m not concerned about
Pulis as my own take on head coaches is that they don’t matter as much as the
media seem to think. The critical thing is the team-spirit of the players. Do they
play for each other? Do they play to win? Do they appreciate the honour they
have to wear the blue and white stripes? I don’t mind if they don’t win every game
but I want to see them looking at each other on the pitch and feeling the pride
of wearing that shirt and thrill of winning when being the underdog.
