West Brom in Hong Kong: Dean's pre-season diary part one
Throughout West Brom's tour of Hong Kong, Albion fan Dean Walton is providing updates from his travels, here's his first entry.
"We arrived at 4pm on Tuesday with the rain absolutely hammering down because of monsoon season.
Fortunately, the rumours that the game would be off because of a waterlogged pitch didn’t materialise.
About 20 Baggies went out together in Wan Chai for the first night, and had a huge sing-off with a bunch of Liverpool fans in The Queen Victoria pub.
We met up with the Australian Baggies at 2.30pm yesterday ahead of the game.
We all thought Ben Foster had saved Danny Drinkwater’s penalty, but still had a brilliant day. The 100 Albion fans made more noise than the 50,000 plastic scousers put together!
Had a spare day today (Thursday) so various groups did different things. Some of us did the six-mile Dragons Back hike, some went up Victoria Peak and others went to Lamma Island.
Much better weather since Tuesday's monsoon. made friends with a few Leicester fans and we all had a post match drink last night before heading to the bars of Wan Chai for more serious drinking!
Everyone is having a great time and loving Hong Kong."
