It is a frustrating time to be a West Brom supporter with the team’s promotion charge left in limbo and no football to watch.
But it’s not as if the club and the media haven’t been doing their best to offer us our football fix with BBC One airing Albion’s FA Cup triumph over Nottingham Forest in 1978.
West Brom’s official social media channels have also been doing their best by showing old clips of matches and goals to brighten up supporters’ days.
One discussion that has been brought up on Twitter lately is about the best matches that people have attended.
West Brom fans, old and young, have experienced some real thrills over the years and here is what our panel of West Brom Super Fans said when asked what the best-ever match they have watched is:
Hayden Belgrave (@belgrave_hayden)
Luke Stokes (@lukestokes84)

Luke Pollard (@LukeyP_wba)
The most popular choice is, understandably, the 5-5 draw against Manchester United in 2013.
It was Sir Alex Ferguson’s final match in charge of United and was also the last match of West Brom’s best-ever season in the Premier League after securing an eighth-placed finish under Steve Clarke.
Romelu Lukaku came off the bench to score a hat-trick while James Morrison and Youssouf Mulumbu were also on the scoresheet for Albion to rescue a point despite being 3-0 down in the first half.
What a match that was. Hopefully the club will live stream the entire 90 minutes at some point during the suspension of the Championship.
