West Bromwich Albion fans take great pride in their fantastic support both home and away, but it looks like it’ll be a very long time now before they get a chance to see their side in action again, especially seeing as they’ve now closed The Hawthorns.

The news came from the club’s official Twitter account earlier today that the stadium would be closing until further notice, and whilst this may come as upsetting news to plenty of fans, this is just the latest necessary step as the nation fights the coronavirus.
The supporters have mostly, though, been very pleased to see that their club is making this safety-first step to try and avoid continuing the spread of the virus in an attempt to get over this horrendous hurdle that the country, and indeed the world, is facing.
