Apologies for this but -
My dad and grandad were Sunderland fans (moved down here when I was 6/7) and they used to take a little stool (a cracket) for me to stand on in the Roker end.

Sports Argus was a brilliant sports paper, they did an edited early version for if you went to certain in town shops after about 6.30 there were reports on all the midland teams and reserve matches, Previous weeks mid-week games, non league too. Obviously a bit biased to Villa, Blues and Albion but It did articles on other clubs too including Cov.

People posting sensible comments on social media instead of attention seeking and trying to be controversial for the sake of it or in search of likes.

Got a soft spot for Villa, my great great uncle, a true Coventry kid played for them just before The Great War. He joined the footballers battalion in 1914 and fell just a week before Armistice during The Hundred Days Offensive.

Respect.

A decent announcement for new players. I remember when there would be a press conference and unveiling of a new player. I'm not a fan of the social media announcements. Just looking at Bobby Thomas. Twitter announcement at 20:00 on a Saturday night! I think the club are missing a trick and could really hype up some of these signings more than they have.

Prefer The Villa to the twats they share their City with any day of the week

Villa fans are idiots but in a deluded yet harmless way, Brum fans are idiots in an brick a coach full of women, kids and shirters kind of way

Seemed to stop at the advent of squad numbers. I'm wondering whether it was by rule as it was a universal change (1993).

I remember it in the mid nineties. I think it was when you named three subs and one was a keeper.

It happened to my dad when he took me to watch Birmingham City play when I was a kid, but it was £3 which was a decent whack back then. As you say, the prospect of damage to the car made him pay up. Think that was almost as much as the cost of my ticket!

In the 1950's on a home fixture, my dad (probably between ages 10 - 15) used to charge a penny to store bikes at the house on King Richards street.

Goalkeepers wearing jogging bottoms.

Footballs that were simply white.

Referees wearing black.

Players retiring then becoming pub landlords.
