    SW attended Hereford Utd games even while still regularly attending Albion games. It's just that the ratio of attendance is far more heavily weighted towards the Bulls these days. When he attended their game against the 'Mikes' he was very definitely wearing Hereford Utd colours though. Further, I've no idea the last time he attended an Albion game at the Shrine.

    Won't pretend I know him well and in no way do I mean to presume his motivations, and although we speak very occasionally I certainly don't speak for him. As a side note Glynis Wright was still attending our games last season.
    He had an Albion season ticket last season but as you say probably attended more Hereford games. The man is a glory seeker.

    68 - I don't know SW and GW but wasn't it them who more often than not travelled on the away coaches with Terry 'Mr Albion' Wills? If it was then I remember them from several away trips.......

    I used to use the away coaches once upon a time. A quick look on Google tells me it was them. They used to sell that fanzine at all of the matches and it was Terry Wills who used to give them a hand. I remember reading someone's copy and she used to write a blo*dy diary that went on and on and on..... You could start the article at the Hawthorns and if you were lucky have finished it by the time you got to Manchester or London. Terry Mr Albion Wills phones Paul Franks's football phone-in nearly every night on WM to deliver his state of the nation address on all things WBA.

    Results from the Football Supporters Federation (FSF) National Supporters Survey for 2017 linked below for anyone with an interest.

    "Earlier this year, we surveyed almost 8,500 football supporters to get their thoughts on the state of the game - the biggest survey of fans by fans since our last census in 2012".
