First live Premiership match for years and it was a good one. Five goals and a home win. The ground was packed and the atmosphere very good.
Once through the turnstiles the area under the stands wasn't big in that the West Stand was clearly partitioned along its length. PG Tips for the tea so that was nice. I didn't try the food as I had eaten with my family in town before catching the train out from Snow hill. The trains were good, £1.90 return and a 7/8 minute journey then a five minute walk.
Its not the biggest ground but that probably helps with the atmosphere because it was close to being full with some twenty five thousand watching. The away fans were vocal except when they were behind. The locals were fine though slightly cynical about the Baggies actually getting a win but that might be more down to their poor recent form (five straight defeats). Another ground I would return to for good football and average facilities.
