The return of fans to the Amex this season has moved a step closer.
Albion's Premier League fixture at home West Ham United has been pushed back from the midweek after next to Saturday, May 15 (8pm).
Thar sets up the game at home to Manchester City for the following midweek.
Crucially, that is after the May 17 update of lockdown restrictions.
It is anticipated about 7,500 fans, including some away supporters, will be at the Amex for the City game, a date and time for which have yet to be announced.
ESL SIX MUST SHOW PREMIER LEAGUE MORE RESPECT
A club statement read: “The change to the fixture has been made to give clubs across the Premier League the opportunity to prepare for the safe return of supporters before the end of the campaign, subject to the government's further easing of lockdown restrictions.
“More information on this will be released in due course.”
