I still think we aren't tapping into the local ethinic population nearly as much as we should have by now.
Amazing how many Asian and Afro-Carribean guys of all ages you see around the area wearing Liverpool/Man U shirts which really disappoints.
totally agree. out of my all of my asian mates, there are only two of us who are baggies fans. the rest are liverpool.
when my sister got married, her husband was a man united fan. so i started taking him to games with me when i had a free ticket and now he's hardcore albion. a few years ago i started taking a few of the lads to away games with me and they loved it. i haven't had time to get to any away games this season but they still beg me to organise something. they look out for for our results and are casual baggies fans.
The baggies ground is literally a stone throw away from two of the first Sikh Gurdwaras in Europe and also two of the biggest. We have our own football teams and sunday leagues. i know for a fact if the Albion wanted to have a presence in the Gurdwaras (temple) it would be welcome. They are not just a place of worship. they are the centre of our community. i gave my brother-in-law and mates access to the albion and they caught the bug. we need to massively increase our presence in the local areas imo. give ourselves exposure. we have so much to be proud of as a club. we have a reputation and identity i think we should be proud to show off.
id love it if we could have a young indian lad come through the ranks and play for the first team. imagine the advantages for us as a club in a country whose population is past the one billion mark and still increasing.
We have a very talented young british pakistani lad in our ranks called Adil Nabi. if he makes it to the first team id like to see if that has an effect in the pakistani community.
