The club created a "fanzone", in which up to 2,000 supporters could gather before and after home matches. The fanzone is based in the vicinity of the 19th century

Grade Two listed Hawthorns pub, adjacent to Albion's home ground, The Hawthorns. In order to facilitate this, the wings of the pub building were demolished and the central structure renovated inside and out. The work was initially delayed due to the discovery of horsehair in the building's plaster, which needed to be tested for anthrax spores. Work resumed once the tests came back negative.{{Cite news|first=Bill|last=Howell|url=http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/west-bromwich-albion-anthrax-scare-9247734|title=West Bromwich Albion Anthrax scare revealed by building work|publisher=Birmingham Mail|date=13 May 2015|access-date=28 August 2017}}
