THIS is an area that's been starved of football glory over recent years so let's rejoice West Bromwich Albion's success in reaching the Championship play-off final at Wembley.
The job, of course, is only half done. The Baggies must beat Derby County if they are to win a place among the elite of the Premiership.
But now's not the time for doubt - it's a time for celebration. And we're sure Blues and Villa fans will want to congratulate Albion on their achievement.
With Villa Park buzzing with optimism after a promising end to the season and Blues already promoted, it would be great to see West Brom join them.
We're sure that on Bank Holiday Monday every local football fan - whatever team they support - will be rooting for Tony Mowbray's lads.
And we're in no doubt that his team's got more than enough skill and spirit to defeat the East Midlanders to secure promotion.
Football's top flight has been dominated too long by clubs from the North and London.
Let's see our three teams in the mix.
Up the Baggies!
