West Midlands (and a couple of extra teams) now Your choices are Birmingham City Wolverhampton Wanderers Walsall Coventry City Aston Villa Northampton Town MK Dons West Bromwich Albion Who would you follow and why ?
Villa, adopted team from that part of the world. Friend has a season ticket there and has followed them since as kid
I think I'd opt for Wolves. They always seem to have a great atmosphere and a proper old fashioned approach. I went there to see Wolves v West Ham in the mid 70's. Bobby Gould was playing for West Ham and scored their only goal in a 3-1 home win.
Probably villa Northampton and Walsall are a bit too small Can't go for franchise Coventry's stadium is more empty than the gap in their defense Wolves and Birmingham don't seem as good as west Brom and villa And villa have a decent ground and ground
WBA as I said on a previous thread many years ago. If city went bust and out the league I would probably follow WBA over any of the others reachable by car.
remember that, was my first away game, very early 70"s and won4-2, opposite end to the holte and was a open terrace with an earthen bank at the back.
I'd be a baggies fan too. Only been to their ground once and saw city get hammered but it's a nice ground, decent fans and a team you know will always be either in the prem, or if they are in the championship you know they'll be fighting at the right end.
West Brom for me as well - 2 reasons The Hawthorns is one of my favourite grounds I'm old enough to remember the 3 degrees for the 70's
