Pre season friendly at Birmingham City?

[Jingle64]

I lived in Brum for quite a few years, and Villa sided with us and Birmingham them, the area around St Andrews had a large Irish population, and not a nice area to hang around for a drink, unless it’s changed there was a huge Irish club where supporters of the IRA frequented.

Ive been to a fair few blues games over the years and found the opposite. They totally lean towards us and have no love of the tims. Riot the last time that mob played down there where they got leathered at digbeth. Havent met one blues fan who favours the scum

100% bang on the nail. Zulu Warriors would not stand for any republican nonsense on their manor.

party time in Digbeth afterwards

Only if it's to raze it to the ground, another Irish enclave that is a hellhole

 

[WillowBear]

Think we might get an invite to Villa Park too?

Hope they provide rope ladders to get in the stands ...helluva a leg up the last time.

My partner is a Birmingham season ticket holder so I go with her occasionally, and without a doubt they favour Rangers. Striking up conversations it's many fans second team due to similar values.

Would love a pre season friendly there, good chance it might be entire new starting elevens for both teams.

Looks like it could be a pre season friendly against league 1 blues after todays results. Replacing Eustace with Rooney was absolute madness so the new owners deserve all they get

party time in Digbeth afterwards

I spent a night in that area after crashing my car on the M6, that experience was worse, every pub we went to was an IRA hovel.

 

[niallmitch]

Would we still play them if they are relegated to league 1- which seems likely after today

 

[Davie Weir Loyal]

Would be an amazing away trip this

I’m going back to the early 70s, it was certainly different then.

Broad Street is great for boozers right next to canal,really busy at night..So if Birmingham is on I am heading with rest of bears

I visit regularly for work and Broad Street is a great night out any day of the week.

Yes,I get that,it just seems a totally random pick.
Any venue in London,gives you about 6/7 options and would be more exciting.
Then you have clubs who would be accommodating to the gers support,
Sheff.Wed,Derby,portsmouth,plymouth,stockport, carlisle port vale to name a few.

To me Birmingham is very meh...

Please no Pompy, if going to have one on south coast I’d like us to play Bournemouth. Bournemouth in summer is good.

Bournemouth wouldn’t be the best for tickets though as I think it only holds about 12K

Bournemouth's stadium is ridiculously small, no point playing there.

We need to be testing ourselves against better opposition than a League 1 side

We've got Man U lined up. I think Birmingham would be worthy opponents - great, loyal support.

I guess police wanted a weekday instead of a Saturday ??

Am sure Karen Brady went into the crowd to remove RHOU Flags from the Birmingham fans when they played Celtic - not sure of if she was trying to avoid offending the Celtic Fans - or more likely trying to get some attention for herself

I'm sure we will. We will need basic games though, to help our new players gel....

Remember that well . . . I suspect she was pandering to the bigoted green-and-white hordes.

 

[redstarrob]

Their lego land stadium wouldn't cope with our fans doing the bouncy. An absolute dump. And this has absolutely nothing to do with my family having allegiances to Villa...



...ok, maybe a little.

Sorry bud, I can't make that out. It's too small and far away down in League 1.

Like a lot of English teams, some Birmingham, Villa, West Brom and Wolves like us as a second team, a very small handful like Celtic, and a lot don't give a %^*& about Scottish football either way.
