(yes i am that old)
in a few weeks i turn 51 and im pretty sure that had i not been supporting the Albion
i would be a few wrinkles less
was asked recently why i bother supporting them
My Reply?
"Cos i`m not a glory hunting football supporter, supporting West Bromwich Albion , means everything
i hurt when we lose i celebrate when we win"
I love the club
as for the wrinkles?
no other club can give you them
the ups
the downs
the results when you expect defeat they go and win
in my opinion we have some of the best fans in the country
and im honoured to be one of them
having said all that
i`m expecting us to get beat by Reading
oh the joys
Slow down there my little sapling!! You guys certainly don't have a monopoly on ups and downs over the years!! I have been an Owls fan for about the same length of time as you have supported the Baggies!! We have spent quite a few years in the Third division, were founding members of the prem, suffered 6 relegations, 5 promotions, one League Cup title, 2 FACup semifinal defeats, one FACup final loss to the same team who also beat us in the League Cup final the same season and were 10 minutes from being wound up in the High Court before Milan Mandaric saved us!!!
The rollercoaster of being a football fan takes a lifetime to ride, but finally at least we are on our way back and I for one hope you can stay in the Prem at least until we can get up there to have some meaningful match thread banter on here!!
