It was confirmed last night that the Championship season should resume on June 20, as West Brom look to win promotion back to the Premier League.
With Albion second in the table and six points clear of third-placed Fulham, they will have been very interested in what the authorities decided to do moving forward. Even though the EFL had previously recommended that points per game could decide the campaign if it didn’t go ahead, which would see Albion promoted as it stands, the Baggies were adamant that they wanted to fulfil the remaining nine fixtures.
And, it appears as though they will have their wish, with the league announcing that they plan to resume the season on June 20, even though that is a situation that could change if safety requirements aren’t met and if the government advice changes.
However, it does appear likely that we will see football back this month and that has delighted many West Brom fans who are eager for the team to finish the job and win promotion. Here we look at some of the comments…
