wedge Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Today marks the 44th anniversary of the IRA Birmingham Pub Bombings. On the 21st November 1974 two bombs exploded in the Mulberry Bush and the Tavern in the Town public houses in Birmingham City Centre. The families and friends of the 21 innocent people who lost their lives that dreadful night are still fighting for justice as those responsible for these awful crimes have never been brought to justice, can we ask all supporters inside Villa Park on Sunday to put rivalry aside in the 21st minute and show that Birmingham as a city, whether claret and blue or blue and white, can unite for this cause with a minute's applause. Whilst nothing has yet been announced officially by the club, the AVST (Aston Villa Supporters' Trust) today via their Facebook page called for a minute's applause on minute 21 to show our support. Many thanks and Up the Villa. Edited November 21, 2018 by wedge 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 My Mom was in the Tavern when it was blown up, I didn't have a clue what the applause was for, neither did most of the folk sat around me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 My uncle was in there, left just before the bomb went off. All the family thought he was still there as he didn't return home, although apparently he was on a pub crawl. Thank goodness for them aye!

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Sky apparently totally ignored that this was happening. It's disgraceful how little the media give time to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's disgraceful how little the media give time to this. It was pretty poorly promoted - what makes you think that Sky even knew about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
