The West Midlands has suffered some of the worst weather in the country today and extra staff were called in early this morning to help the existing stadium management team remove the heavy snowfall from the pitch, stands and immediate vicinity.

This operation will continue tomorrow morning.

“We were fully aware that the adverse weather would be arriving during the past day or so and we did everything we could to prepare for it,” said Mark Miles, Albion’s head of facility operations and development.

“We hired gritters to service both inside and outside the stadium yesterday and they will remain on site for the rest of today and tomorrow.
