Going at other times meant queuing for, literally, hours. Now whenever I book a slot and go it's pretty quiet. No queue, plenty of spaces to park. It's lovely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich192 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 My next unpopular opinion is that Lords is a soulless stadium, full of pretentious toffs, and that we shouldn’t play any important test matches there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like shite are they. Where I went to school it was a 70/30 split in favour of Brummies being sort of on the boundary between YamYamshire and Brum. Technically we lived in Sandwell but it was Great Barr and the wrong side of the River Tame to know that a faggot was something you ate. It really did take a brief second to tune into YamYam when an interloper who had been allowed to cross the river was speaking to you. They always had Olbeyan written on their school bags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worked in Wolves for five years and still occasionally struggle to understand the locals. I suppose you might say the two accents are a bit like French and Italian, related and mutually comprehensible to a degree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which actually gets better with every read 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
