'ALBION
TIL I DIE 2'
Calling all proud Baggies!
Following the success of the 'Albion 'Til I Die' book in 2006, the Albion
Foundation, in partnership with the National Literacy Trust and Legends
Publishing, are producing a sequel - and they need YOUR help.
They want supporters to come forward who are 'Albion 'Til They Die', know
the feelings of excitement, exhilaration and elation that being a Baggie can
evoke - not to mention despair, desperation and disappointment!
The Albion Foundation want to hear from all fans who have a story to tell
about why they became an Albion follower and the lengths they have gone to
to support their beloved Baggies.
Maybe you've had to choose between the stars in stripes and somebody's
wedding? Do the Albion always come first in your life? Have you got any
pre-match rituals you always follow? How did they come about?
Allison Tripney, the Albion Foundation's education & learning manager, said:
"It's amazing the stories you hear about life as an Albion fan, stories that
make you laugh, make you think and some you can even shed a tear to.
"'Albion 'Til I Die 2' is the perfect opportunity to get those stories out
and about.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for all supporters to get involved in the
printed history of West Bromwich Albion Football Club."

The Albion Foundation are also running 'open house' sessions at locations
throughout Sandwell to ensure fans don't miss out on getting involved.
Also, the Albion Foundation's headquarters, at the Tom Silk Building,
Halfords Lane, will be open for supporters to visit before the Coventry and
Leicester matches. Fans will be able to share their stories from two hours
before kick-off.
You speak. We'll listen. And together we can write.
Keep checking www.wba.co.uk for further opportunities to get involved.
