Baggies Broadcast Special: Taxi Gate - Five Years On

By Jonny DruryWest Bromwich AlbionPublished: Feb 13, 2023Comments

The Baggies Broadcast brings you a special episode - looking back on the Taxi Gate scandal that put Albion on the front pages as well as the back.

This week marks five years since Albion went on a mid season training camp, designed to boost their fight against relegation.

But it ended in controversy that involved a broken curfew, a stolen taxi, a McDonalds and four Albion players.

This podcast is sponsored by the Kettle & Toaster Man.
