[Other Sport] Birmingham City Football Club

[Cowfold Seagull]

A 1-4 reverse ok midweek has done little to improve Birmingham football clubs fans mood.

Well on the pitch they are having their best season for many a long year, even after a home defeat they shouldn't feel too down in the dumps.

As far as Crodo threads go....the punchline seems very weak.

I see you're brave enough to admit you have family that come from Birmingham

No, he said they supported Villa. Probably they come from Worcester or Stafford.

I was uploading my VHS tapes last night and most had Endsleigh Insurance League Extra on. That brilliant programme in the mid-nineties that had all the goals from the weekend, but it was broadcast in the early hours of Tuesday morning! It was very well presented by Gabriel Clarke but had a HUGE bias towards Birmingham City. Barry Fry being the manager and his legendary tales being the main reason I presume.

However, they did feature Brighton's problems in a few of 1996/97. The Mansfield home match (November 1996) with the stay-away protest before breaking into the ground amongst a few more. Oh, and that unforgettable 4-4 draw with Leyton Orient. What an afternoon that was!

Three wins in a week and only two points off a play off spot, perhaps the sleeping giant is awakening once more.

Along with six other clubs some who are just one off….the previous seven yielded only two points with five defeats and two draws…a tad inconsistent

A poor run and no Blues fans calling for the owners heads, not helped by an emphatic reverse at Fulham last night. Seems they are not happy the sleeping giant is very much still in a deep comatose.

They will be fine, just wait until Taylor Richards gets up to speed.

My Villa supporting relative has been filling me in on the recent shenanigans at Birmingham City Football Club.

Is it connected to Pointy Blinders?

It doesn't seem to be getting much better for 'the blues' as they are affectionately know. Fan protests at the owners, more than a hundred at the last game gathered angrily outside the club entrance demanding the return of the club to its rightful owners.

Started the week with 5 fit defenders of which 2 are now out for a month. They are as close the the relegation points as the play offs but I suspect they are not looking up.

The natives are very restless as you say, the owners seem to be asset stripping the club. There was something recently where in the accounts in the last year they spent £300 on stadium maintenance (yes, £300 not £300k!), made a loss on the ground share with Coventry (how is that even possible?) yet spent £180k on security for one of the absent owners that was all charged to the club. They make Stanley, Bellotti and Archer seem almost angelic by comparison.

Have we got a young player on loan there

Taylor Richards, but I think he’s still injured so hasn’t played yet

Frank Lampards Birmingham City anyone?

Frank Lampards Birmingham City anyone?

As much as I dislike Birmingham I wouldn’t want to see them in Div 2

'Oh, Frank!'.

 

[pigmanovich]

Interested in signing Marc Leonard apparently. Along with Wrexham and Oxford.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Leonard, Lampard. Who next - a Leopard in a Leotard?

I think Christine makes a much better WAG than Michele Dotrice though.
