The
Experience
|
| The
Hawthorns has seen massive redevelopment over the past five years which
has now seen all four stands been rebuilt. The latest is the large East
Stand. There is always a fantastic atmosphere at the ground which makes
for an enjoyable afternoon especially if there is a large away
following. |
