More likely Heroin, hard to tell with you lot. -
Biggest away following ever (bar finals)?
Homer Simpson replied to Blagdon red's topic in Football Chat
Coventry away in 77 was my first ever away game so I remember it very well. My Dad would not go unless we got tickets as he new it was possibly going to hit capacity. Tickets were only issued for the stands in those days, not terracing. The initial allocation was 4500 tickets, I remember being gutted when they sold out. City then obtained another 3000 tickets in the Sky Blue stand, luckily we got a couple before they also sold out. So 7500 in the stands plus those on the terraces at both ends. I think a good 50% of the attendance was a realistic estimate. Not bad for a Thursday evening. A previous poster asked how so many got there. I remember the Evening Post reporting that coaches had been hired from as far away as plymouth. On the M5 we passed cement mixers with city scarves hanging from the wing mirrors and even a tarring truck with heat vapour still coming from the tar. It really was a surreal day, probably never to be repeated. -
I think you'll find it was actually 9000 went up and 9000 came back. I make that atleast 18000.

Birmingham City away match thread

Probably a disappointment, hope not. -
For a team that has not appeared in the top flight for over 40 years and almost went out of existence in that time, including a visit to the bottom of the whole league. I think to average over 22000 is fantastic. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you all. Thanks for the entertainment all OTIB contributors. COYR IN 2024.

I've heard they're hoping for March 32nd. -
what would you pay for a direct train to west Ham
Homer Simpson replied to Never to the dark side's topic in Football Chat
Will you be driving? I love a mystery tour. Assume it would leave from Parson Street. -
They have season ticket holders in every block that is not designated for away fans, only one needs to buy a ticket to make a block unsaleable to us.

Weimann..anything to keep morale up I suppose
Homer Simpson replied to Mr Popodopolous's topic in Football Chat
I think this has become the fans objective. As to what the club hierarchy expect, I have given up trying to guess. If they really do think we can get to the play offs without spending, then they are sadly deluded. -
Or, Malice through the crooked pass.
