    Fa cup tickets

    My son has saved most of our away tickets for the last 2/3 seasons, although a lot have been lost and/or thrown away.

    Blackburn away

    Bastards. Had to buy an 18 year old ticket. TBF, he will be 18 by the time of the game and both our tickets including postage are still cheaper than the price for just mine usually, so no complaints. Blackburn have to be commended for the ticket prices.

    It was the start that killed us this season

    Nah, not for me. He wasn't playing for a long time before that. Giving away the penalty at Preston started it, although turns out it wasn't a penalty, and then his Mum died and then he was stuck on the bench. We won plenty of games with good performances without him.

    Yeah, same here. Always thought he was class.

    Yes, if Shweaf and/or Eccles are below par then the whole team suffers. They've both been pretty hopeless for the last two away games.

    Blackburn away

    Brilliant! My son is 18 on Tuesday, however I'll be getting the ticket tomorrow when he's still 17 so only two quid for him!

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    I'll need it. Been OK for a year. We don't live in a massive house or anything, just an Edwardian terrace but it has separate rooms, so we can have our own space, which helps.

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    It's not ideal. We have both said we would like to go our separate ways, but it's not practical, not if we want to leave him the house, which we do. He'll have such an advantage in life if he doesn't have to worry about rent or mortgages. As for the divorce. Did a "no fault" job on the gov.uk...

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    Ha. Well, it's different for us - and this may make some of you go 'huh!' - but the plan is, if possible, to still live in our house together with our son. If we sold up, then although we get a bit for our house in Warwick, we couldn't really afford to buy a property each. Any money I'd make...

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    Thanks, Shmmeee. Appreciate those wise words. Things will be OK, I know they will. It's just getting there that will be difficult.

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    I've never had a lot of spare cash, so I won't be missing out on too much once it's all sorted.

    We definitely need a new goalie, both Collins and Wilson make me nervous and are too inconsistent. An experienced CB is also a must.

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    Thanks, yeah. We still get on OK, so no animosity or anything, could be worse. My lad is OK about and that is all that matters.

    Would agree with that too. This week I've travelled down to Southampton and then Brum yesterday and seen two terrible performances, at least in the first half at Southampton. It's a shame that we're doing the total opposite of this time last year when we surged into the top six. Maybe we will...

    Still fuming

    Can't see what all the fuss is about. We're top 8 in a semi final for the first time in 37 years. I went to the last semi, which I still remember so next week memories will be made that will last a lifetime. Was yesterday rubbish? Yep. Do I wish I'd saved my money and listened on the radio...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Just finished the second episode and have to say I am enjoying it. Have to try and pace myself and not binge all at once.

    Birmingham Player Ratings

    What a terrible day. Only good thing is it doesn't take long to get home, once you get out of Morrisons car park that is. Apart from the first ten minutes we were absolutely shit. Embarrassing display. No one comes out of that with any credit, although Simms battled hard and Tavares did OK...

    Villa away...

    It was a decent game but a pretty poor performance from our kids. Their goals stemmed from mistakes, losing the ball on the edge of the area, etc. Funny ro visit there again after so long. Parking at the ground was free, so better than being charged a fiver at the CBS to see the kids...

    Villa away...

    Villa never bothered me. Nor Leicester. We've never had rivals really. Not sure why we think we need one.
