They do travel well, we travel well to West Country, London, Reading, and West Midlands- occasionally the South Coast or parts of South East too ie MK Dons a few years. Not really North of the West Midlands or much East of London in the main. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 Judging by the 10 minute love in on the EFL show, we should change the title to "Tom Brady's Birmingham City". 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Yes that was irritating. I missed the first episode of the new show last week as T.V. playing up but we had under one minute, just 43 seconds in fact for a fairly closely contested gsme between an improving side and a recent play-off contender. 3 clips only.

Every week they are gonna host the programme from a ground…and give that club a lot of focus. Last week it was Plymouth’s turn. As long as we get our 10 minutes at some point, that’s fine by me. If it starts becoming a wonk-fest over certain clubs then that will annoy me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I hadn’t realised this was going to be a regular part of programme as missed it last week. Assumed focus was due to Brady involvement.

Is it from across the whole 72 that they're choosing? If so presumably there will be 30 or so clubs who don't get a visit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted August 13, 2023 Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) First three league games all a bit similar for us. Three teams I would expect to be in the middle third come the end of the season, all established and never give us an easy game. More of the same from the first two I would expect. A month or two ago I thought Preston and Birmingham would struggle. Preston have made since then some solid signings and Birmingham fans confidence pre season much higher with new owners and a bit of cash from the Bellingham sale. Birmingham won on Saturday with a 91st minute winner, us in the 94th. Identical records, albeit on two games, and in the table ‘as it stands’ they sneak ahead of us by being one of the few teams to beat us alphabetically, damn them. Anything other than a close game will be a shock, fingers crossed we sneak it. If a BCFC comes out of this match with 7 points from the first 3, they will be delighted! Should have sent them down a few seasons back. Edited August 13, 2023 by cityexile 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t historically do well against this lot - although we have faired a little better in recent years compared to usual A point wouldn’t be a disaster Doesn’t help if they have Tom Brady throwing missile balls 60 yards up the pitch. I presume that’s why Birmingham have called him in as a specialist goalkeeper substitute or at least coaching on goalkeeper distribution… (I’m kidding!). To be fair to the EFL programme, they did ask if bringing over Tom Brady was just a publicity stunt. God knows what Brady thought of St Andrews when he arrived. It’s been like the Championship version of the Mem with large parts sectioned off that can’t be used etc. Hardly the trillion dollar stadiums of the NFL! As for Brummies in Weston, you have to remember that these people have no idea what seawater is supposed to look like, having been brought up in the Midlands, so they all flock to the first place going south with a “sandy” (I.e. sand laid down on top of a load of estuary mud) beach.

Oops, sorry I mean Burnham On Sea! My next door neighbours are Brummies and are quick to take the piss if they beat City. But have not been to St Andrews in their life. Detest them!
