Season ticket sales?

[albion68]

I've renewed my ST, and because he's been a bad lad. my Grandson's as well .

Has anybody received their new Style Card yet?

No still waiting tony. I've been a bad boy and man for the last 60 years, floating fans don't you just love them. There the ones you will tell Gary meg son saved the baggies.yes he did very well with what he had.NO the 8or9 Thousand fans who turned up week in week out saved the baggies. Somebody tell me differently no thought not.

Megson saved us from another visit to the third tier that's for certain. Also somehow hauled us into the Prem with some very good signings.
What is a floating fan?

Sorry Chris perhaps floating the wrong word,what I meant was the ones who only like the good times. I'm not knocking megson .in fact I was a big fan of his. Very few recognise without the faithful few theres no football club.loke the club up the road who came very very close.

If we relied on that sort of fan the place would be empty! Since 1968 the only good times have been the Promotion years, not a single trophy of any note won.
78/79 was great but nothing came of it.
I wouldn't call myself a floating fan, more a retired one. Last season was the first time in my life I didn't attend a match (I was there when I was 6 months old so I'm told) whilst the previous 3 seasons had seen my attendance drop rapidly after giving up my long held season ticket. I have chalked up over 1,000 games live, but the big money more than Pulis's tactics is what has ruined it for me. Much better when recruitment meant scouring the lower leagues for talent rather than throwing silly money at overseas players.
Look at the players bought in during the 60s and 70s. Here are a few:
Jeff Astle
John Kaye
John Osborne
Clive Clark
Joe Mayo
Cyrille Regis
Laurie Cunningham
Prior to these Derek Kevan & Ronnie Allen.
You can't take the club out of your blood but you can take the fan out of the Hawthorns. I used to be out 7 hours when attending a home game, leaving my wife on her own, prefer to be with her now and disappear upstairs for a couple of hours to watch the games on streams.
Been there, done it and moved on (sort of).
