With Albion finishing bottom of the First
Division, they were required, along with second-bottom Small Heath, to
play a series of 'Test Matches' |
against the Second Division's top two of Liverpool
and Manchester City to earn the right to remain in the division.
Basically a forerunner of today's |
play-offs, both First Division sides had to play
both Second Division sides home and away. The Baggies gained five
points from four games and |
retained their First Division place. |
