BOF Posted October 27, 2016 Moderator Share Posted October 27, 2016 I see there's a minute's applause on the 21st minute for the (21) victims of the '74 IRA pub bombings. Is this something they've done in previous derbies or is it a new 'justice for...' type campaign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't recall it being done at a derby, but I'm pretty sure they've done this at least once at a match at VP. On a side note, I see Warwickshire will be parading the Nat West Trophy (cricket, yawn, boring, etc). Will be interesting to see what sort of reception Ian Bell gets from the great unwashed.

sidcow Posted October 27, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted October 27, 2016 All the noses are being VERY quiet. I think they are very worried. Obviously if they win we will hear an absolute din about it for weeks after and be reminded about it for years. If we win I have nothing to say to them.

There is absolutely zilch that redeems that club ,even though I grew up as a city centre lad with loads of blue nose pals I never felt the desire to spend a spare Saturday afternoon in that shit - hole , it really is a depressing sight . I don't have any bitterness , as such towards them , that's there thing , with me it's pure indifference . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Most hostile ground he's ever been to, according to sir alex. My first memories of St. Andrews was actually on tv when they played Leeds in the semi final of the league cup in 96. I remember watching the game and thinking **** me that's a nasty place. Gary Mcallister got hit on the head with a snooker ball thrown from the crowd. It's one of those grounds that when the natives turn up and are up for it, it an horrible horrible place to play.

We definitely can beat them - on paper and recent form we probably shade it - but it is set up to be a cracking derby, if not a cracking game. This is a good point. Will he be the only person on either side to have any experience of this game ? Could be crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
