Why would we sell out for Birmingham but not the more important game?

We do occasionally beat Norwich though

We’ve given Preston at least 4 points a season every year we’ve been in the same division. They owe us this favour

Luton don’t get a massive amount of attention either, other than to make snobbish remarks about their stadium

Jimmy Hill being restrained by the police for winding up those animals is still one of the funniest things ever

I can’t understand it. If they seriously hate us for crowd congestion around Highfield Road in 1977 then that is just pathetic

Didn't realise they went to the Tavern. Still though, a lovely example of how they're willing to interact with the fans

If we somehow did manage a promotion, I would be very tempted to invest very little, come back down with the £100m, buy the ground, put the rest towards the team, and fly back up. Even if we didn't buy a single new player, I would bet our current squad would at least get enough points for a...

Does anyone know how/why this happened? Ended up leaving the ground on a supporters coach

The orange on black is a great throwback to the old Highfield Road one

I've never been able to figure out the tune of it. It sounds more like a speech than a song

Doesn't makes sense though because blocks 2 & 3 is full of nutters now as well, and they opened up block 4

Boro will have nothing to play for so yes, a draw is not unrealistic. I can take making the playoffs and then getting battered by Luton or Middlesbrough. However not making the playoffs at all now would hurt

Birmingham fans have blown Eustace's cover

Nice little coincidence Highest ever attendance at Highfield Road 29th April 1967 Highest ever (league) attendance at the Arena 29th April 2023

Just did the percentage (impressed with myself at being able to do this after a few pints!). Average attendance in 2016-17 (when Robins took over) was 9,118 This year 20,385 124% increase in 6 years. Not bad at all!

Also, them cutting the sound system out before the game during Take me Home and just letting the crowd sing it was something else

I was walking across car park A at about 2:05 and I could hear the singing in the concourses from there. Unbelievable noise. The Twist and Shout part when their player was down was brilliant. Even those in the posh seats were jumping around

Boro are pretty much guaranteed 4th place regardless

7th best in the division. Also today was the highest attendance for a league game since 1980.
