Pre-Match View From Birmingham — The View From

"Think we'll upset a few teams this season away from home and whilst I'm not sure we'll get the win I can see us coming away with a very creditable draw.""St Andrews is like a morgue and I think this will rob us of another 10 points easy this season.Players probably prefer away.""We beat them

Actually question for you Roy, when was the very first "View from", and can it still be viewed?

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

“Presume there is Sheff U fans above us then ? surprised that the old bill allow that. Obviously nowhere else for us to be housed then, but in that case, why have we been allocated 500 less than Forest got for the same end? we’d have sold them easily!”

I claim first,with a Brum fans quote..............btw thick twats are'nt they ^^^^^^

 

[originaltrueblade]

They’ll be moaning more tomorrow evening

Thanks Roy

 

[BLADES1988]

Is this the first time they have played at ours?

 

[ekke287]

Sixth boom

 

[Blade&Snuff]

Thanks Roy

 

[biggiesablade]

Come on Roy! Cheers

 

[snb69]

Top job as always Roy. Not got a lot to say for themselves

 

[SUFC Guy]

Cheers Roy. Will be a tough one this. We will miss Anel and the only league game that we have lost.... Anel did not play

The first one was just on Bladesmad and it was the first game of the 2011/12 season against Oldham. Maybe you could view it on the wayback machine? The first one when I set up the website was Preston at home back in 2015

THE VIEW FROM PRESTON — The View From

Blades 2-1 Preston “Ref was the biggest homer I have ever come across” “Got sympathy for Koeman now with the way their bench reacts” “Our players are dirty? They seem to forget Morgan nearly killed Hume! At least we are still above them” “We were shit today but so was the ref” “Time to stop

That’s a proper View From that - plenty of vitriol and a classic “Bramhall Lane” thrown in. They don’t make ‘em like they used to.

Cheers Roy

I don't mind Birmingham. But they have a weird ability to be a basket case club but also really boring at the same time

 

[SirNibletsO'Korne]

Thanks Roy. Understandably they're looking on the gloomy side. Hope we can hit the ground running cos this is an ideal game.

 

[Speedracer]

Thanks Roy, here's hoping for a quick start & an early goal, if we play anything like we should have to much for them even without Anel.

 

[Boxer Blade]

What's the issue with the number of tickets? Surely if they can sell out the away end they can have em. What's the allocation around 2,800?

They've got the lower tier. Like everyone else. They've sold it out.

 

[Cheesebored]

16,162 average home attendance last season for England's second city. Shameful. Wankers.

 

[Harry's Game]

Apart from the weird complaints about the away allocation a pretty sensible set of comments.

Presumably they are looking back to the playoff semi, where Forest were inexplicably given the upper tier, which has more seats

 

[Boxer Blade]

I realise they have the lower tier but what are they moaning about the allocation for? Just under 3,000 isn't a bad allocation is it?

That is partly due to the lower capacity at St Andrews, as a result of the works at the ground which many of their fans think are being done slowly on purpose by a vindictive board.

In the last 10 seasons Birmingham have finshed between 10th and 21st in the Championship. They have stayed up on the last day once, but done nothing else of note in the league. They have reached the last 16 of a cup 3 times, but gone no further.

Is this the least interesting last 10 seasons of any league club?

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Like one of em says, where would they move our ST holders to? I don't understand it tbh. You get what you're given.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

They'll wish they got less allocation. 4 nil Blades with this one. Close first half but we'll dry bum them in the second.

Thanks Roy, don't think even my time machine can go that far back...but we all know the porkies go back to 3000 BC.....

Birmingham were given just over 2,700 tickets and they sold them all over a week ago.
They could have probably sold 3.5K to 4K for this match and someone has noticed that Forest in the play-off semi final were allocated more tickets.

With plenty of time remaining before the match Birmingham were understandably thinking they could have been given more tickets like Forest.

I remember when the Bramall Lane corner stand was built and McCabe mentioned that there was plenty of flexibility regards away allocations.
The first match in the PL was against Liverpool and we gave them 3K in the lower tier and 1.5K in the upper near the scoreboard end.

Often wondered if there's a big away demand then why don't we split the BLUT in half and give an extra 1K tickets to the away team.

I wonder whether the answer to your question is "South Yorkshire Police won't allow it"

Really? Are the stewards policing it? Can you imagine Birmingham and Millwall sharing the BLUT? Jesus.
