ALBION supporters are being offered a unique insight into how Roy Hodgson readies his players for a big match - as the club prepare to stage an open training session.
The head coach will switch training to The Hawthorns on Tuesday, October 25 - during half-term week - when fans will be able to watch the players being put through their paces for free ahead of the weekend's visit of Hodgson's former club, Liverpool.
The East Stand turnstiles will open at 9.30am and a 'football freestyler' will entertain supporters with his silky skills before the opening training session starts at approximately 10.30am.
Chief executive Mark Jenkins said: "The previous open training sessions we have held at The Hawthorns have proved extremely popular and it promises to be a great family occasion.
"We have targeted half-term week to enable as many of our younger supporters to attend as possible."
To gain entry to the open training session, season ticket holders will just need to bring their Stilecard, as the event will automatically be added to it, and then access the stadium via the East Stand turnstiles. Season ticket holders from all four stands will be able to gain entry to the East Stand.
Non-season ticket holders can also get in for free by simply clicking here and downloading an application form. This will need to be filled in and exchanged on the day for a ticket either at the East Stand ticket office or one of the ticket kiosks on the East Stand car park, which will grant entry via the East Stand turnstiles.
With turnstiles opening an hour before the open training session gets underway, supporters are urged to arrive as early as possible to ensure everyone gets in on time.
· With a high volume of supporters expected to attend, please note that the club will not be able to lay on provision for players' autographs at the open training session due to health and safety reasons. However, members of the first-team squad will be attending an event for our Junior Membership Scheme afterwards. For further details, click here.
