The Bomber Squad...up and running
"When you hear the roar of the Brummie Road End, it really makes a big difference to Albion players."
The words of Tony 'Bomber' Brown.
So it's just as well the Bomber is happy to lend his support to the group of Albion fans who have adopted his name for the new 'singing' section of the Birmigham Road End.
Organisers Martin Greenwood and Mark Abel, regulars on fans' website westbrom.com, met the Bomber this afternoon to promote the idea, which already has nearly 100 like-minded supporters on board.
The fans will be seated in an area towards the back of the stand and both Bomber and the supporters are hopeful it will be a success.
"It's a great idea to generate a bit more noise," said Bomber.
"It does make a big difference to Albion players and it can be intimidating for away players when the fans get going in the Brummie Road End.
"I am all for it and happy they asked me to be part of promoting it."
Martin added: "Bomber is just a top bloke and we're honoured and privileged that he's backing us. I was never fortunate enough to see him play but he's a gentleman.
"We have had three more come up and join us in the last few days, taking our total to 93 or 94. Hopefully we'll get some more soon."
Fans wanting to know more about TBS can contact Martin by emailing him on martin@westbrom.com.

Chris Lepkowski - Mail man Chris Lepkowski’s view of what’s going on at West Bromwich Albion FC.
This is a great idea. If we can all keep the momentum, for getting behind the team, going for the early part of the season, we could give great support and indimidate the opposition a bit more.
The support was very good after Stoke at home, and the Bomber Squad is a great idea to get the rest of the 'Brummie' singing again.
If one remembers the Albion 'Ultras' from around 2000 onwards, their involvment coincided with the upturn in the club's fortunes under Megson. Let's hope similar happens on the next level.
Come on you Baggies!

I agree, think its a good idea and hope it takes off, will hopefully bring a buzz around the hawthorns next season.
