RunRickyRun Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Just seen it on the local news. Comedy gold. The cameras were doing their best not to show how empty the place was and there was a bemused look on the players' faces 3000 - what a mickey mouse club. The city's still ours, We've won it five times etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC_Hitz Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 It is still very funny however it may have something to do with the club being banned from making a civic parade, through Birmingham. Fans were angry at being told they couldnt celebrate the victory as it could lead to other groups (EDL etc...) using it as a platform. Birmingham Mail. Says it all really about this club. I'm sure it would a different stance if it were the Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meregreen Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 The Birmingham Mail refer to the players emerging to a "sea of Blue"!!!!!!!!Where are they then ....the friggin Mediteranean. Appallingly contrived dishonest reporting. Tell it like it was, absolutely pathetic turnout. I've seen more people turn up to a barbeque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracker1234 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Birmingham City fans hold victory parade after cup win 06 March 11 14:12 Blues fan parade through Birmingham Birmingham City football fans have organised their own victory parade through the city to celebrate their club winning the Carling Cup. The 2-1 win against Arsenal is the first significant piece of silverware Blues have won for 48 years. Fan Lisa Karim suggested on Facebook the supporters held their own parade after the club decided not to have an open-top bus tour on safety grounds. The club held a special reception at its St Andrew's home earlier on Sunday. Relegation battle Ms Karim, a life-long Blues supporter, created a Facebook page called Give Us Bluenoses The Celebration We Deserve. The page attracted more than 700 members, some of whom joined the unofficial victory parade earlier. It consisted of about 100 people walking from the stadium after the official reception to the city centre. The fans' mood of celebration would have been dented by Saturday's 3-1 home defeat to local rivals West Bromwich Albion. Blues are now in the Premier League relegation zone.

villa4europe Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 so in other words 100 people walked from the stadium to the city centre, a route they would be taking regardless because of getting a train home, and thats considered a parade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
