Blog News

There’s been quite a bit swished around in the Birmingham Mail the last few days about Often Partisan, the Supporters Trust and Blues and with this in mind I thought it best to clear a few matters up.

Ah, the mainstream media. You’ve got to love them when they come out with articles like this one. To think a reporter asked the Special One himself about Chelsea fans chanting his name.

The Block Eleven Controversy, Part II

Talking Points sponsored by John Hicken Industrial roofing and cladding materials

A couple of days ago I published an article about some of the controversy surrounding block eleven of the Tilton road end and singing at the ground in general. It generated a lot of comments from lots of diverse people, and I thought it would be a good idea to follow up on what was said.

The Block Eleven Controversy

Talking Points sponsored by John Hicken Industrial roofing and cladding materials

It’s been brewing for a few weeks, and I think it came to a head during the Blackpool game when other fans in the Tilton Road end started booing Block Eleven for singing their “we’ll sing on our own” ditty. Are block eleven the last bastion of atmosphere at St Andrews, or are they smug fans who think they’re better than the rest of us?

Atmosphere

From reading the forums and messageboards one bone of contention I’ve picked up from Blues fans is the lack of atmosphere at St Andrews. The Burnley game was a case in point – for long periods it was very quiet and it was possible to hear the players shouting to each other. Have we become fickle fans?

I should be writing a preview of the Bristol City game today which kicks off in a couple of hours, but I’ll be honest and say that I’ve not done the research to be able to do it properly. Instead, I want to share with you my sheer pride and happiness in being a bluenose – and it’s not just because of the result in Brugge.

You may have seen in this morning’s Birmingham Mail a report about the formation of a Supporters Trust for Birmingham City. As a “key instigator”, I thought I would share with you my personal reasons and opinions on the whole idea.
