I saw the first page of this thread and thought it was ok until I read the rest this morning!
I live 2.5 hours away from B72 and whilst I would love to come down every week it is not possible as I have a young family and it is simply too far away.
I try and make as many games as I can but cannot see how that makes me an armchair supporter just because I don't buy tickets for hoke games.
I met Mick and Al for the first time last season in the Vine, two great guys who I would happily see again! It is a shame anyone has to get personal when the whole point of this forum is to provide their own thoughts and opinions.
I see everyone's view and whilst you can say what you want (I won't be at all offended) I know I am a Baggies fan and always will be.
The whole ownership and top-level of a club is the problem, not us, I wish there was something we could do about it but the reality nothing will make enough of a difference so we just have to be realistic and hope for a miracle, FOL
Exactly. The failure of promotion and the uncertainty of the club's future has caused fan's passions to rise to breaking point. At least we are all united at the ground so sites like this give us the opportunity to let off steam and criticise.
At the end of the day we are all Baggies.... well most of us anyway.
Des….in my humble opinion there’s nobody better than Stevil81 to be a new moderator on our forum.
He’s young ish, intelligent, eloquent and even tempered…….he’s just the sort of person to help you moderate this site.
I’d also suggest PhilD……he obviously has far too much time on his hands!
Prando would also do a good job but longevity might be the issue with him!🤣😏
Stevil81 is a no brainer in my opinion…..IF he wants it?
These are just excuses Swedish!
Honestly, I do love the Baggies and would go every week if I could, my dad is a season ticket holder and has been for as long as I remember but I often feel sorry for him making such a commitment when we don't always feel like we get it back from the players!
I appreciate the compliment Mick, not sure you got any of my personality traits correct however!
I have no idea what is involved and what commitment it required but happy to be considered if it is not too time consuming!
Totally agree with Des, we are all bad tempered about the current state of affairs and the lack of answers and let's pray something good comes soon. You never know with Carlos, we it might just happen!
Edit: Also wanted to add, I have been on this board for over 10 years (Formerly YorkieBaggie) but I am not a regular poster and certainly do not want to roclk the boat or p!ss people off in any way by being involved either! I am often more of an observer (or voyeur if you like!).\
There will be other posters with much more experience than I have!

See below your post where the first bit of aggression kicked in with disgusting personal comments uncalled for;
You state you have been following WBA Mad for ten or more years but joined in 2023 with a user name On Balance. Very strange especially when Viaduct ( you ) calls me a
p rick for no reason and makes disgusting comments about Blood living in a Ladywood flat. Blood is a great guy and popular poster!
I don’t support the Baggies you say! Perhaps I got in free then to at least eight home games this season!!!! Dave on the forum saw me in the Vine at least three times! Was there any need to say that? I go to matches and can hardly walk due to my health so I would say my support is fantastic as would many!!
Who the f uck do I like you say!! Very aggressive and why would I like Peace and Lai when in my opinion they have shafted the club!
Armchair supporter you call Mick! Is there any need to get personal?
I have double standards and want glory you say! Very personal and aggressive!! If I wanted glory - why would I go to Chesterfield or Hill or Burnley on Friday nights? Not on my doorstep and all at least a three hour round journey when my health is poor!
PS - never mentioned my condition but annoyingly Mick did as don’t want pity from anyone. Now it’s out in the open many would say - I am a fantastic supporter given the circumstances.
Your POST word for word below which started off the aggression and personal remarks! Many can see you for what you are!
I suspect, after following this WBA Mad site for ten or more years, there are a some with multiple identities.
Al, you don’t support tue Baggies if you don’t put f’all all into the coffers, whether you like Lie or not. You didn’t like Peice, who the F u c k do you like? Going to away games financially supports our opponents not West Brom.
Mick you may have been a supporter once but you are now an armchair fan end of. Nothing wrong with that I guess, but if you ain’t in the family then you ain’t part of it. Simple.
You and Al have double standards, and you ain’t what the Albion are about at the end of the day. Your either in it or your not. You both not really in it. You both want glory so you’ll have to look else where for that.
