I’m guessing you haven’t been in central Brighton recently?! Brum definitely has an edge to it, I have often thought growing up in Brighton actually trained me quite well for some of the ‘earthier’ city centres elsewhere!

He’s right about that, the Baggies are in Sandwell. My uncle, a Brummie born and bred, recently complained to me that the Commonwealth Games swimming should have been held in Birmingham - it’s actually being held in Sandwell, a few miles away, but it’s not Birmingham! The city boundaries have...

Fair enough - my honest opinion is that Brum gets a bad press. Maybe its better bits are harder to find to the occasional visitor but they exist in abundance. It’s one of my favourite cities to visit in this country at least, and I am well travelled (I’ve been to about 95 countries). So I...

Well it’s a football related website. If you genuinely have an open mind and want recommendations, here are some (link is just to Edgbaston, but you can check out other areas too): https://visitbirmingham.com/inspire-me/areas/calthorpe-estates If you still aren’t convinced, it may say more...

Have you been brave enough to post your views on Brum on, say, a Villa or Blues website yet? To be fair, half might agree with you, it’s the other half you may need to be worried about! All good banter, I’m sure.

Trouble is with that suggestion that you may end up in Queen’s Road, West Street or North Street, and then would need to quickly buy another single ticket out again. Not before marvelling at the national graffiti and street litter collection, of course.

I’ve sent that on to Tommy and Arthur, expect a knock on the door later ….

I have family and friends in and around Birmingham and spent a lot of time there - I appreciate that it has its less desirable parts but the areas I know around Edgbaston, Harborne, Moseley etc are as nice as you would find in any city in this country. A bit like London, the city grew out of...

Newhaven is underrated. Anyone who’s been to Yale will tell you the same.

Got some tickets for the Hundred I can’t now use. They are mobile tickets (not received them yet), and I believe both games are sold out: Friday, August 12 Southern Brave v London Spirit, 2 @ £27 each Tuesday, August 23 Oval Invincibles v Birmingham Phoenix, 2 @ £35 each (actually there is...

Hopefully Fatboy Slim wasn’t on your mind when you were having your 30 minutes with Madame Fifi :)

We have got some that we won’t be using, pm me if interested. Includes, athletics, hockey, rugby etc.

Isn’t the photo ID just because it’s no under 18s allowed? I doubt very much it’s to check the name and ID on the ticket. The email says: Ticket Holders must be aged 18 or over to attend On The Beach 2022. Challenge 25 is in operation at the festival. Ticket Holders will be asked to show ID...

Who is paying who the £50, out of interest? :blush:

I saw England in an Ashes test in Adelaide in 1998, when we were really s**t. The temperature was above 40c for most of the day and I was sat in the open with no cover other than a hat, pouring with sweat all day. Part way through day 1, John Snow rocked up and had some spare tickets in the...

To be fair, and I know a few Blues fans, what they have gone through in terms of ownership and asset stripping in the last 10 years is unbelievable, not quite Stanley/Archer/Bellotti but heading in that direction. I’d like to think no fans would take that lying down, although actually having a...

Oh, I misread your note, did you mean more this?
