It seems West Bromwich has gone or is going the same way with Birmingham as places like Oldham, Bolton and Bury are in Manchester. Gradually being absorbed into little more than satellite towns, being left behind whilst the big city gets all the investment and money. 

Not much by way of pubs around West Brom these days and next to nothing in the immediate vicinity of the ground. Even the pub/club right across the road has recently shut and converted into a large Greggs.

Nice easy away game at a traditional club. A lot of respect from me for sensible pricing. Long may it continue. Just a shame we won't reciprocate and encourage it moving forward. Suspect that might change once their parachute cash runs out.

What?

The Vine is down the road from the ground and one of the best away pubs going!

That's the only one and it must still be about 20 minutes walk from the away turnstiles. Sadly West Brom is one of the poorest grounds in the division for pubs of any standard within close proximity to the ground.

Going again to this one after a cracking yet cold day out last year, finishing with Smallwood as goalkeeper and not conceding.  Be nice to see a goal or two, yet not holding much hope given our current goal scoring record this season.  Point be a decent result, but I think WBA will edge it.

the food/drink options inside were pretty poor last year. One catering place open for away fans, with lots of singing away fans blocking the way.  Not knocking that at all, but didn’t fancy queuing up before the game and getting a shower of beer descending from those who were enjoying s day out up on other’s shoulders. I’d grab some food outside before personally.

Going to need to be on our game here. Bad Rovers turning up could easily finish 2-0 to them. Watched them against Derby. They were unlucky with some decisions, but they certainly aren't unbeatable. A few older creakers in that team around midfield and at center half. Good Rovers could get a draw 2-2. Excellent Rovers and who knows :)

If anyone does have any parking recommendations let me know, don't fancy street parking in an area I don't know. Sure there'll be something like the one up Livesey Branch Road that's £3 at Rovers.

Easy parking on the main road up to the ground with little industrial units scattered about.

On the main road that runs by the ground you will see people waving you into parking areas. I don't know the price, but it won't be too dear.

Think the teams pretty sorted for this one - only real change from Cardiff (apart from Cunningham returning at lb)I can think of is if we persist with Graham up top or play Gallagher up front with one of Armstrong/Rothwell/Buckley/JRC/Chapman on the wing (looking a bit congested at winger now!).

Think after scoring yesterday Mowbray will fancy putting Gally up top again.

Bennett will keep right back. Thinking ahead though - can JRC defend? Could he realistically nail down a long term spot there?

Not until Bennett retires.

Walton

Bennett Lenihan Williams Cunningham

Travis Johnson

Rothwell Dack Downing

Gallagher

Subs: Leutwiler (sadly), Nyambe, Evans, Chapman, Armstrong, Graham, Rankin - Costello

Gallagher and Bennett wouldnt have been in, but for me Gallagher has to start centrally after his goal yesterday and as much as I think Nyambe is better than Bennett, it would be harsh to drop the latter after 3 clean sheets.
