    Installing a drop kerb and drive

    Anyone done this? Looking at buying a house that has no parking so want to convert the front garden, which is gravel at the moment. Would need a wall at the front knocking down and a drop kerb installing - although the kerb currently installed is one of those that is only raised up a couple of...

    Loan player watch

    Didn't want to clog up the match day threads so thought we could have a thread for players we have out on loan. Ponti starting for Tranmere. Presumably they list their team in a random order and he's not playing right back.

    Local councillors

    Fear not, this isn't about the Ricoh. Just had a prospective local councillor at the door and was astonished at how unprepared they were for a simple question about probably the most talked about issue locally. I'm over in Finham and there are plans for new houses, which are desperately needed...

    Geoffrey Robinson stands down

    An MP who has represented his constituency for more than 40 years says he will not stand for re-election due to ill-health. MP will not seek re-election 'due to ill-health' Doesn't say what's wrong with him although he's 81 so could just be general old age.

    You think playing in Brum is bad

    This is absolutely nuts: The Tampa Bay Rays have received permission from Major League Baseball to explore playing some of its home games in Montreal, commissioner Rob Manfred said on Thursday. Under the proposal, early season games would take place in Florida before the franchise's home games...

    UEFA U21s

    Is nobody watching? Thought there would be a thread. Decent start by England, hope we don't end up regretting missed chances.

    Myth busting discussion

    I'm not wasting my nice long post I wrote while Nick was busy locking the original thread and pinning it :D A good start, hopefully to be expanded on. Just a shame that with the trust for every step forward they take about ten are taken backwards. If they had just come out with this and a...

    ticket sales

    Just seen on twitter that Wasps have 2K tickets for their play off semi-final. Have been on sale to ST holders since last Saturday and still not sold out. Seems people aren't so keen on Wasps tickets when they aren't free. A sure sign of a huge fanbase! Meanwhile our away leg sold out, with...

    Official car parks

    Much as I don't want to give any money to our insect landlords I needed to be in Brum by 6pm yesterday so decided to book the official car park so I could get away quickly. Booked in to A. Arrived at 2pm and got in via number plate recognition drove round the car park a bit, as others were...

    Those allegations were BS weren't they? You don't have the team running over and celebrating with him like that if whats been reported was true.

    Potential new BCFC stadium at NEC for Commonwealth Games

    Sure there was already a thread for this but I can't find it. Birminghams bid for the Commonwealth Games has taken a step forward as its been chosen as the preferred UK bid. Part of the bid will include a new stadium, either in the city centre or at the NEC. Will then be used by Birmingham...

    Full details here: NEWS: New post-match pedestrian and vehicle arrangements at the Ricoh Arena Basically it seems car park b will now be for away fans / coaches with an exit straight on to the A444 (assume there must already be an exit there).

    Spurs @ Wembley

    Don't get this, the local council have limited the tickets available as its a London derby. But apparently not a problem when its a FA Cup semi or final or something like England v Scotland.

    Wasps merging with ACL

    Wasps have announced they are merging with ACL and in the process it seems Andy Gibb is getting the push. It makes sense as a cost cutting measure as you can share staff, although there's no reason you can't do that with two separate companies in the same group. Doesn't this create a situation...
