Background

edit

During the off-season, West Bromwich Albion made a number of improvements to their home ground, The Hawthorns. The club reseeded the playing surface and repainted the exterior of the stadium. The memorial garden, situated behind the East Stand car park, was extended, while additional lighting, new flooring and more turnstiles were added to the Smethwick End.[1]
