History:
The Baggies were founded in 1878 as the West Bromwich Strollers and they have played at the same venue, The Hawthorns, since 1900. They have only captured one championship in England’s top tier (1919/1920). In addition, they have struggled greatly since the 1980s. However, their recent stint of good play has vaulted them back in the Prem.
