[Greasy Chip Butty]

I'm thinking of getting coaches, decent prices too (tho it is on TV)

[Linz]

If you do two singles through thetrainline.com you can get to Birmingham and back for £17.

An alternative to the coach and more opportunities for fun

[Linz]

What do you think the starting XI will be?

Anybody dare to predict the score this early?

 

[Monty's_Girl]

I predict a 3-1 for the Blades with Webber and Hendo scoring

 

[MAQ]

I predict a 3-1 for the Blades with Webber and Hendo scoring

than i'm afraid your dillusional

meant in the nicest possible way obviously

I can forsee a draw, but on the basis that one team may get a breakthrough it will be a very fine marginal win...........just not sure who to

 

[butchaboy]

the best 2 teams (on paper) in the league i think
could promise to be an amazing starting game
1-1 or 2-1 to the blades

 

[Sheffield-Bl4de]

FAO all booze hounds

Just talking to a lad on another forum, a Birmingham fan asked him about the boozers arund St Andrews:

''Hello mate, it can be a bit on top around st andrews at times yeah especially if your "dressed" I would avoid the pubs in digbeth....thats if the ob let you there at all. If your travelling down by train you would be alot better off drinking in the town centre or broad street and catch a cab to the ground which will only be a couple of quid. its only a five minute walk if you know the way. Anything I can help you with give us a shout. ''

 

[keenzy]

i think we will loose 2 - 0.

 

[butchaboy]

anyone else on coach 1?

 

[Robbie]

anyone else on coach 1?

In a word.... Daz.......... But did you need to ask?

 

[DazBlade88]

In a word.... Daz.......... But did you need to ask?

I'm actually on coach 2

I think we'll go in at half time 1-0 up, but lose 2-1. I can't wait for the first taste of league football again

 

[stinkyblade]

I think we will lose but it will be close

Oh don't you just love the optimism

 

[Come from away]

A draw is a very likely event as nobody will want to lose and so will be quite cautious - one goal is all it takes and I for one am hoping for the best.

Message from Mick Rooker..

Could anyone wishing to travel to Birmingham on Saturday on the Away Blade coaches please book by 5.00pm on Monday, August 4th, thank you.

Subject to any late changes, Keith Stroud will be the referee in charge. P. Keane and J. Simpson will be "assistants".

In total Keith Stroud refereed in 36 games last season in which he handed out 117 yellow cards and 7 reds.
