    Birmingham attendance

    I remember them doing that for a Wimbledon game as well. I got free tickets through school and they were fit seats in the away stand

    Would robins Be our greatest ever manager if we were promoted

    No, I didn’t start going to games until the early 90s It wasn’t always relegation battles though. I know the early to mid 80s was bad but prior to that we were very good for most of the 70s

    Sorry but a club that had been in the top flight for 20 years is established.

    Hope Robins doesn’t start knocking back the champagne if he wins

    I think you’re overthinking a bit there! Scandinavians are by nature a serious bunch. Nothing more to it than that

    Did Wimbledon do it with 1 manager?

    Birmingham attendance

    One of the websites has the attendance against Blackpool as being 6k, so its not showing the right average. This one is the correct figure: Sky Bet Championship | Average Attendances | Home Matches | Football Web Pages

    It will be a sell out

    Would robins Be our greatest ever manager if we were promoted

    Here's how I would rate them Sillett - Gave us our highest honour. Coventry City peaked (to date) under Sillett. Hill - Made Coventry City the club it is today. Without him we would still be playing in a ramshackle Highfield Road, eaking out an existence as a 2nd or 3rd tier club. A...

    Would robins Be our greatest ever manager if we were promoted

    No is is disparaging the FA Cup win. Just that it was easier for Sillett to take an established top flight team and win the cup than it was for Robins to take a club on the verge of extinction back to the PL. The top ten thing is a bit silly. Bobby Gould & Phil Neal were only 1 point off...

    Would robins Be our greatest ever manager if we were promoted

    One thing I would say is Robins got lucky as to when he took over. Sisu were so hated that almost all frustration over a bad performance was directed at them rather than him

    Would robins Be our greatest ever manager if we were promoted

    But the thing is JH didn’t have to deal with that. We can’t judge on hypotheticals. Otherwise we could say that Phil Neal would’ve coped just as well with what Robins has had to deal with

    Would robins Be our greatest ever manager if we were promoted

    Not after we’d already been in the division for 20 years. Thinking that an established top flight team finishing in the top 10 is a success is exactly the mentality that has held us back for the past 50 years

    Would robins Be our greatest ever manager if we were promoted

    Evidenced by the fact that Wimbledon won it the year after. Didn’t Oxford & Luton win the league cup around that time as well?

    Would robins Be our greatest ever manager if we were promoted

    I’d say Robins is the best. Jimmy Hill did a great job, but he was backed by a supportive chairman. Plus it was in an era where money wasn’t so important. Sillett again did a great job. But we were an established top flight team. Winning the FA cup was something that we should’ve been...
