Why more people prefer the "sterile" surroundings of Reading, to the not-sterile surroundings of the likes of Birmingham. To me, it is abundantly clear. Big turnouts to places like: Fulham, Reading, Milton Keynes, Coventry. Small(er) turnouts to places like: Birmingham, Cardiff, Wolves, Millwall. What does this tell you? It tells you people might be nervous about such venues, although it is such a sanitised experience nowadays I don't know why they worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't blame people for staying away from these sort of games as you have the possibility of intimidation from both your own fans and the opposition.

Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 On 09/08/2017 at 10:20, Bar BS3 said: So if we took 1,700 outside the holiday season, then how is taking (probably) more than that in the middle of August "appalling"..? I can't go because I've got a family trip to Devon to go on. If I didn't, I'd be going to Brum. I agree with about the love in for a trip to Reading though. If we take 3k+ there, then no idea why Birmingham is failing to attract a similar number. I hate all this self flagellation about our support. Considering our historic lack of success, it's bloody marvellous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Now up around 1,850 sold. You have until 1630 to secure a ticket. There will be no POTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I have the money to do either tomorrow or Brentford. I've decided to give this one a miss because I can't be dealing with the scumbag WMP, Brum's horrible fans, people gesturing behind rows of police and the hoolie element that will no doubt travel. Brentford is a much more chilled out away day. No idiots around, just a few beers and a good sing song on a terrace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah agree @hodge, it could have been assumed but I will bet there are people who will turn up on this assumption - you only have to look at any other game where we could POTD the number of away fans always massively increases To announce the afternoon before is pretty poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Went couple of seasons ago . When fans were being sent back for no reason. I wasn't part of that . But when I left the ground I said to my mates . I will never go back to St. Andrews. Shit away day for me . But for the fans going tomorrow I really hope city can get the 3 points.

Robson Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Birmingham City have produced a handy guide to St Andrew's, including parking information, areas of interest and all the key details you'd require. This also includes a special PDF for away supporters. Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that alcohol will not be served to away supporters tomorrow. Click here to view the guide.
