Sure I saw in the week the play off final is put back a week

Yeah it will be delayed a week and played at another ground as I think Wembley is booked for Champions League final. Think it’s West Ham’s ground that’s been considered from what I read

Whoever it is that makes them, i'd like them to design either our away kit or third kit every season inspired by the older kits of the past, starting with this classic.

I think this stems from an article a few weeks ago, which in turn was a "quote" from Chris Lepkowski's podcast.

"Chris Lepkowski has shared that West Brom have been in contact with Macron to become the club’s new kit manufacturer, with the brand looking to “invest heavily” in English football."

https://www.westbromnews.co.uk/2024/03/11/west-brom-in-contact-with-new-company-at-the-hawthorns-who-want-to-invest-heavily/

Personally, i hope not as the quality of their stuff is awful.

Well the bonus is Lai seems to have taken one hell of a hit financially. That for me makes me smile when I think of him having to explain the losses to his investment “team”.

It would be perfect to finish the season with promotion but even if not we are in such a better position now for the summer and beyond.

My only hope is that it is all genuine as I remember people getting excited over the free scalf etc.

I was always told it was Albion fans taking the mick about the game being on a Sunday (a bit like the anti Sky Sport chants that Leeds have been singing recently).

I don't remember it being sung much in the 90s when I first started going but that could have been more to do with the type of football that was being played at the time.

Looks like they've suspended the season ticket of the person involved.

I didn’t miss anything,just that Dawson tackle hadn’t been mentioned,the fact that he should have been off doesn’t take away that bartleys was terrible (although hands up I did cheer in the moment) and had that been against our player could want a red 10 game ban etc etc

Wasn’t directed at you just a general comment that there didn’t seem any mention of the Dawson tackle.

I think the crowd “trouble” will be in the news for a while as it’s a good distraction from the real news which is why I think we may suffer as a club as a result. Call me cynical if you like but just my feelings.

My worry is they’ll want to make an example to try and stop things like this again. We’re not particularly well liked so it’s a perfect opportunity in my opinion.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the punishment exceeds what’s been given in the past.

As for the football, Bartleys body check was just that however everyone seems to have missed Dawsons high leg in the first half that went unpunished. That for me was a worse tackle.

We huffed and puffed but ultimately undone by two good finishes by players that cost more than our football club.

That's where all the players friends and family and some corporate tickets are, I'm guessing some have been given to the dingles.

I suspect so and the commentators seem to know pretty quickly it was wolves fans as well.

Regardless of who was in the home end it doesn’t look good for us as a club does it?

Wolves fans in the Brummie road end apparently.

Wish I was there. Makes me angry seeing Wolves fans in the Smethwick they will need to fumigate.

Cracking atmosphere. Both backing us to win

Couldn’t say anything else could they really?

Going to be a long 90mins but for this game I’d much rather be in our position than Wolves, more too loose.

All Wolves on ITV. They’re expecting it to be an easy wolves win too!

I expect to loose but I'm prepared here in Darlaston got my scarf and Shirt at the ready. Does anyone know if we are playing the Liquidator

I would highly doubt it tbh.

Gutted to miss this one but won’t miss the toxicity. Just hope our six fingered friends behave themselves.

I just hope if we loose it’s by the odd goal.

Small part of me feels a win today but can’t bring myself to acknowledge it properly

I've said previously that I think we'll lose comfortably, however I can't stop smiling at the thought of Wolves fans crying into their milkshakes on the way home should we manage to win.

You only have to look at the Wolves forum to see they're predicting a win by a margin 5, 6 and 7 so they are not only expecting a win but they're expecting a big win.

I got to say the more I read the more I could see us scrapping a win based on previous history with them but they are due a turn of form against us.

Didn't want this game, still don't want it now. We'll get battered, it'll be Newcastle v Sunderland part 2.

The gulf between the divisions is too great now, just see Bournemouth v Swansea tonight.

We'd need them to have one hell of an off day to win.

I’m with you, I think they’ll beat us comfortably.

My concern is that it derails the season should we loose.
