The London Baggies, were originally founded in 1976, and then reborn in December 1990. Our membership is usually around 80 each season, and this year the subscription os £10.00 Adult, £15.00 Family and £5.00 Concessions. The London branch membership automatically affiliates members to the main WBA supporters branch in West Bromwich - with whom we maintain close contact, and attend various functions at the Club throughout the season including the "Player of the Year" awards, where we make our London branch presentation. The London branch runs independently and holds meetings each month in London, usually on the last Monday evenings (except bank holidays) commencing at 8.00pm in the 'Marquis of Granby', Chandos Place (near Charing Cross BR). We have a thriving travel section organising rail trips for Saturday home games, and most away games, at special rates. We sometimes travel with the opponents London supporters clubs. Midweek games often have to rely on car sharing trips. Match tickets for home or away games can be obtained through the London branch, though availability can be very limited for big games or small grounds! Regular travelling members will always receive preferential treatment for the limited allocation games. We produce our own fanzine / newsletter 'Baggie Shorts' - free to members, 50p (inc postage) to non-members. Baggie Shorts appears five/six times during the season carrying match reports, branch news and miscellaneous items. The branch hopes to produce its own badge during the season. Although short of "league status" some members get together to play the occasional football or cricket match.
