    On Remembrance Day ~ a review of BCST

    So here we are Remembrance day 2012. A day when my thoughts turn to people were so interested in their cause that they laid down their lives for it, when my thoughts turn to my father and his brothers who risked the same but luckily came back alive to support the team that they loved. Such...

    Birmingham City Supporters Trust

    You know, I've posted the same message on four different boards, there's only one that has any replies, and thank you BCFC83 & RZA on JA606, but with that level of interest this is never going to work. I am disheartened.

    Birmingham City Supporters Trust

    Just an update on this project. The program is alive and kicking even though it will be a round 6 weeks before the trust is established as a legal entity. A lot of hard work is being done in the background by some very dedicated unpaid volunteers. For those who are interested ~ keep the...

    Paul Trollope.

    It's always hard to split managerial influences at a club. I would find it hard to see what impact Paul is having individually. However, you have to say as a team with Hughton he has overseen a stunning start to our season considering the disruption and massive player departures in the summer...

    A new image for our club

    Created by superb behaviour and enjoyment in Belgium. I have copied the piece from the clubs main site. I think it shows what we as fans can do to make our club great. I don't think it is coincidence that we won the game, and at the same time won over, at leat in part, the hearts of millions...

    I hear some Blues fans are staying away from Stan's until CY has sold the club.

    Are they mad? Your club get's into trouble so you walk away??? Mind I suspect these are serial abstainers. Seems to me they are the same people who stayed away until Steve Bruce left the club, then stayed away until David Sullivan left the club, then stayed away until we played more...

    Thank you Norwayhornet ~ fingers crossed it doesn't come to that. Mind ~ where are the FA in all this. Their Fit & Proper Person test is obviously badly flawed. Mind so is the rest of the FA, so I shouldn't be surprised.

    Last 10 years of sides relegated 18th

    The chance of promotion is very slim. You cannot start from scratch and expect much more than survival, even with good financial backing. In our position and with the significant cloud hanging over our owner, we will be lucky to avoid relegation. Having said that I like Houghton, and whilst I...

    HA!

    Pity there is such silly banter between small minded fans. That day in Cardiff all those years back was wonderful, & not only because we won on the day, but because the vast majority of Blues and Norwich fans were very good humoured, and made it a fabulous day. Credit to the majority of Norwich...

    The Real Reason McLeish Left Birmingham

    He left because he was put in an untenable position in his view. The instruction was 'get us straight back into teh Premiership or your job is at risk'. That was acceptable, just. But then the financial position became clearer and he knew he had to rebuild his squad from scratch, still with the...

    Mcleish has resigned!!!!!

    I agree with your words, but I think there has to be some leadership from 'seniors' which I think is mostly sadly lacking as well. Too easy to blame the younger generation. I see many many older folk getting involved in poor behaviour as well.

    Mcleish has resigned!!!!!

    It saddens me to read the very unpleasant views from the two anti Blues fan posters. I am a Blues fan of 58 years standing. Passion is high at Blues despite our problems. We are one of the original founders of the football leagues in this country & I think we deserve more respect than has been...

    Looking forward to an exciting new season

    Football is interesting, no matter which league you happen to be in. I love it at all levels, well except for..... I detest the Premiership for all sort of reasons, but because I want my club to do as well as it can, I have to aspire to it. Stinks. & FIFA look as if they are going to sidestep...
