    Fans.

    Does anybody else agree with me that clubs being able to have fans in attendance are having an unfair advantage over those who don't? I'm not looking at it from our point of view but in general. It's surprising how much noise a 2,000 crowd can make, especially with no away fans. It is now not a level playing field.

    Would any Albion fan travel to away games to watch the tripe served up by the current crop of no hopers?

    I wanted to go to Blackpool Bomber to hopefully see Sawyers, Austin and Kanu on the beach!

    My point is that the rule should be the same for all clubs and should not be dependant on which area of the country that your club is situated in.

    See what you are saying but you could say the same about pubs!

    It isn’t a level playing field whether fans are there or not; I’m sure that you haven’t forgotten the VAR travesties? I know what you mean, though. However, with a mere six points just before Xmas, it really doesn’t matter for us. Just get used to the prospect of Championship football next season, when, all being well, we will all be back inside the Hawthorns.

    By that logic clubs with larger crowds would have an unfair advantage anyway so it isn’t a fair league anyway.

    Oops just remembered the bigger clubs are supposed to have all the advantages to make sure they stay there, so suck it up!

    A government review is coming up soon so id expect a few more grounds may very well lose the 2,000 capacity anyway

    I do think it helps, the upcoming game v the Vile for instance if we had fans in the ground it would I’m sure give the players a lift..

    I believe that fans should only be allowed at matches between two Tier 2 teams. This would nullify any advantage Tier 2 would have over Tier 3 teams.
