Birmingham fans.

I am normally of the view that fans can cheer, boo, arrive and leave whenever they want but Brum fans did seem to turn against their team a little too quickly.
 
Neve mind what happening with the club at the moment. The idiots were fighting each other even before kick off.

They've got the problem of having owners who don't give a damn. Their ground is reportedly in disrepair and rightly so the fans aren't happy.

That's fair enough and a good point , but having a pop at the players seems the wrong target of their frustration to me. It looked like it affected some of their players, I can recall a couple of them confronting the supporters during the game. Have a go at the owners, but not the players, unless I'm missing something?

Some fans had bottles and cans of beer with them in side the ground as well as smoke bombs.
What do the stewards on the turnstiles actually do?

Looking at our kids rather than the away fans; sadly we have supporters who encourage stewards to do it.

They wouldn't start against away fans as they know they'd not worry about getting banned from BR for having a can of pop and would likely get a bit back if they started.
 
Sorry to hear they seem to be yet another club with rogue owners. I bumped into a group of their supporters on Bloomfield Rd (not youngsters) who were quite philosophical about things & were singing "you only scored 6 you only scored 6 how shit must you be you only scored 6" well I had a laugh with them, but couldn't think of anything positive to say to them apart from hoping they pick up next season & get better owners.
 
Jasper Carrott won’t be cracking many jokes tonight that’s for sure. About time they got relegated back to the third tier for a dose of reality if nothing else.
 
Makes a big difference away fans near the North.

I liked how they just winged their flares on even after we’d scored.

Angry bunch some of them 😂
 
Their opening gambit of Blackpool's a shithole I wanna go home, bottom of the class for originality. I'm surprised the east side of the pitch didn't turn blue the amount of flares thrown on it.
 
Actually chatted to a Blue Nose walking back to the car.Decent fellow who simply said he didn’t think the players were playing for the Manager and he needed to be gone ASAP and said we were just far to good for them.

I feel for the fella.
 
I didn't like Bowyer in his playing days & I've not paid much attention to his managerial career. But in that interview he sounded like he'd had enough. Chinese owners that don't communicate, now there's a shock. Our football teams shouldn't be playthings for foreigners, it's part of our heritage Grrrr.

Give me a Kitchen over an Oyston every day of the week and twice on a Sunday.

If owners are chite they are chite no matter where they are from, they are good British owners and chite foreign owners and vice versa.

I'm thinking some will suggest that the foreigners don't understand what the game means to British supporters but I'm not having that either.

It's literally no different to what we did during the same time. Aldred at Burton Albion?

In fact, playthings for anyone looking for a quick buck or an opportunity to launder ill-gotten gains. Watching Bowyer then was difficult. He obviously cares but doesn't have the resources or the backing to progress.
 
Stated on their forum that theyre a far bigger club than Blackpool despite their highest finish being lower than ours and no major honours. Also a few of em touting Critchley would go to them as a replacement for Bowyer for the same reason

They've won the League Cup twice which is a major honour, one of the wins coming as recently as 2010. Obviously the FA Cup is more illustrious but it's still a major honour.

You'd have to concede they're a bigger club than us with more major honours, bigger stadium, bigger fanbase and more time spent in the top flight. They are a club that exists in the 2nd biggest city in the country behind London though so they should be light years ahead of us really - especially in terms of our trophy cabinets.

Your last point is spot on, but don't use a slur to address anyone

They were singing you're not fit to wear the shirt ahead of the Billy Ayre tribute.

Bigger stadium with over half unusable due to structural defects. Their capacity is similar to ours at present.

Yeah, they went 2 down quickly. It happens sometimes. Another poster said they are still cheesed off from a shit performance in a recent derby (know the feeling) so perhaps that explains things.
