West Bromwich Albion kept their successful run going with the help of a Leamington solicitor.

The Tom Silk site in West Bromwich, home of the club's charitable trust, The Albion Foundation, is now licensed to stage a wide range of events thanks to Andrew Potts of Wright Hassall solicitors.

The site consists of more than 500 car parking spaces, a full sized indoor artificial football pitch, indoor sports centre and an office building. 

Andrew has a long history of licensing large venues across the Midlands including The Windmill Village Hotel Golf Course and Leisure Club, Coventry Rugby Club's Butts Park Arena and pitch and most recently he attained a new license for Birmingham City Football Club.

"This new Premises License allows complete flexibility for the use of the space at the Tom Silk Site," said Mr Potts.

"Originally the club merely to planned license the indoor sports centre as a bar on matchdays but once I suggested they apply for a new premises licence for the whole site that was done at the same time. 

"No structural changes or additional financial investment was required to meet the criteria for this licence and Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council accepted the application. 

"All the regulatory authorities were most helpful.

"Now, as well as providing car parking spaces for 500 people, there is capacity to host all manner of licensable events from weddings to boxing which would all financially benefit the Trust."
