My mate said Saturday's game was the worst Albion game he'd ever been to. He's a home & away S/T holder, and he's been to hundreds of games. I've been to about 700 but only wtached it on online, but agree with him.
If I was a kid watching my 1st few matches, who knows? - I might tell my Dad I didn't want to watch that type of rubbish again, and can I become a Spurs or Leicester fan. ManU, Villa, and Chelsea will also miss out with the Class of 2016.
(I was lucky because at the age of 8, my Dad took me to watch Ronnie Allen and Bobby Robson, and that was me sorted for life!) But kids today are different, and we're in grave danger of losing a generation of lifelong fans.
Bit of advice to Dads: if they get the wanderlust, threaten to stop their pocket-money, and promise them that next Year will be different.
