West Brom drinks are on the new owner
Each Albion fan was treated to a free drink at The Hawthorns on Saturday by the club's incoming Chinese owner Guochuan Lai.
Supporters were handed a coupon at the turnstile for a free bottle of lager, cider, water, or fizzy drink which they could then redeem inside.
It was a welcome gesture from Lai, who attended his first Albion game after agreeing to buy Jeremy Peace's 88 per cent majority stake in the club this summer.
And the move went down well with supporters, who were also given a rendition of The Liquidator before both halves.
However, there may have been some free bottles left over because The Hawthorns was nowhere near full for the first game of the new regime.
Swathes of empty blue seats in the bottom half of the Birmingham Road End and the East Stand won't have gone unnoticed. The official attendance was 23,654.
