A win would be really good this weekend. We've played well recently and not put teams away. We did well to hold on against Leicester and I am assuming Brum won't be anywhere near as strong. We should be able to beat them, hope these injuries aren't serious.

I am having a prostate exam shortly before the game this weekend so do not need any more pain from a loss or bad performance. Hopefully, we get it done.

Well I suppose it beats the rigmarole of the queues for a midday pint at the Cherry Tree but is this what it's really come to for a pre match jump start?

People flapping because Rudy rubbed his shoulder and haji stretched.

KKH should be back, doubt EMC especially as has past hammy issue.

You're looking for a lot of reasons not to go at the moment.

Last week it was if Brau started, this week if we wear the wrong kit. If you're not careful you'll lose superfan status.

This is what the Birmingham Supporters Club have sent to their members! Well done to ChatGPT.


Blues Unite – This Saturday at the Coventry Building Society Arena

To every single Birmingham City fan: we need your fire, your resolve, and your unity.

This Saturday, when the whistle blows, we’re doing things differently.
We refuse to spend inside the Coventry Building Society Arena.
The ticket price has already been raised to £45 by Coventry’s owners – that’s enough.
Bring your own drink. Pack your own snacks.
Back the team from the terraces. Not the concession stands.

This isn’t about saving a few pounds. It’s about standing strong. It’s about making it crystal clear: we won’t feed into unfair hikes. We won’t stay silent when our loyalty is taken for granted.

If enough of us stand together, we make a statement.
Blue hearts, loud voices.

Together, we rise.

KRO.
#BCFC #Blues #KeepRightOn

I imagine this will change when they announce cheap pints...
Click to expand...
Bit of a moot point when they have sold the 3000 or so tickets in the away end out at £45 a pop

I’d actually doff my cap to them if they had tha balls to arrange a full boycott and went through with it, but as expected all talk they paid the money and to talk about boycotting food and drink in the stadium after parting with £45 is laughable

Hopefully they have a fully miserable day out and are sent back to Brummie land with their tail firmly between their legs

It sounds silly to say this is a must win so early in the season but I think we do need to win, otherwise it's suddenly five games without a win (including the cup game).

Apparently Blues fans away this season have been acting like absolute pricks and the club have now been warned by the FA following complaints from other clubs.
BCFC have sent the following email out to their fans.
must be the big I am and Hollywood stars mentality

Birmingham City has one of the biggest and most passionate away followings in the Sky Bet Championship, but after three away fixtures this season, repeated incidents of unacceptable behaviour by a small minority have put our future allocations in danger of being cut. This would punish the thousands of incredibly loyal supporters who travel in good faith. We cannot let this happen.

There have already been complaints from host clubs, and unless this behaviour stops, there is a possibility that the FA could recommend reduced away ticket allocations for our club, which means less support for our Club on the road.

This is not a warning we can ignore. It is a direct threat to what makes our club special - the size, noise and passion of our travelling support.

We are asking every Blues fan to take action, starting with this Saturday’s game at Coventry City at the CBS Arena.

Following Blues on the road is a privilege, not a right, and we cannot allow a minority to ruin it for everyone.

Keep Right On."

Take action = don't be a complete c**t.
Not sure these lot are capable of such 'action'. Fair play to Doug for rinsing them for all they've got before their allocations are cut.

If I was Doug I wouldn't be making beer £3.60 For them. They clearly cant take their beer or coke so £10 a pint for them and close the toilets would be reasonable in the circumstances of their previous behaviour here

I think it will cause more anger when pints are £6 after we've been telling them they are £3.60 all week.

Never massively been into rivalries with other teams. Don’t get me wrong, it certainly adds an edge and an extra level of excitement / want to win for games against teams like Sunderland and Leicester. But I don’t really feel any worse if we lose to them than I do if we lost to any other Championship team.

However, this one genuinely feels different. I think it’s a) the arrogance of their fans b) the way they behave and c) their owner is a tosser.

TLDR; I think Birmingham are the first team I am genuinely starting to hate.

I was never really arsed about them but the way some of their fans acted when we were ground sharing was grim. Superiority complex despite the fact we outsold them at their own ground

People can moan about Doug’s pricing strategy but there’s zero chance he’s changing his find when this is happening. More chance they will go up next season!
