Last away game theme - I would suggest
IMAGINE 1800 Tony Mowbrays staring back at you.
That would be some sight.
Well, the people who brought you those 6000 Ricky Hatton masks in Las Vegas are supplying 1800 masks for the traditional end-of-season party at Blackburn later this month.
Mask-arade, founded by Baggies fan Dean Walton, will be producing the life-like masks of the Albion boss for every fan who attends the Ewood Park bash.
Mowbray, being the good sport that he is, has given his backing to the venture.
Leamington-based Dean is confident it will be a success.
"On the back of the masks we will give instructions for everyone to put them on a minute before kick-off," he said.
"It will be an incredible sight and should go down in Albion folklore."

Hi Chris,
Your blog seems to suggest we are only going to be given 1800 tickets for Blackburn, is that right as I thought the away end at Blackburn holds something near 7000 ? If so I better get my act together when the tickets come out. Still no date confirmed about when the tickets will be out.
Hi Dan,
I believe the stand is two-tier and, while away fans often get both tiers, Albion have only been allocated one particular section. I stand to be corrected but this is what I was told when I checked with a contact in Lancs. I guess the decision was made at a time when it was looking grim for Rovers and it was earmarked as a critical game. Whether they will allocate more now remains to be seen.

Rovers did a deal where people could get tickets in advance for their last three homegames at a heavy discount.
This means they have been using the lower tier as a family section and just giving away fans the seldom used upper tier.
I fear 1800 may be our lot.
Do you know if there is going to be an "vote" for the last away theme? Game is only 3 weeks away
No there hasn't David, it's normally on westbrom.com but they haven't done it yet. Cant say I'm really impressed about the TM masks.
