I may be missing something, but, what is this thing about coaches?

Does it really matter how you travel , however local?

If you travel by coach you're a frightened little mouse who'd rather not be kettled by the police for several hours, and if you travel independently by train, omnibus, penny farthing or hot air balloon you're right hard.

Good, I'm going to the Blackburn game on the train. First class from Melton Mowbray.
Well hard.

I think the writer was inferring that our support is mainly from rural areas and not from Birmingham. They seem to love that idea and in their pea sized brains it somehow gets one over on us.

Thats how I read it as well. There cant be much of a public transport system in Solihull given the amount of coaches they bring here.

I was told that people wanting to watch the game on TV were being turned away from most of the packed pubs in the leafy rural idyls of Erdington and Kingstanding.

And what about " villa ain't from Birmingham they're from Aston " If they put their sisters down for a bit and checked their facts they'd see Aston is B6 and Bordesley is B9! Then again they would have understand numbers to work it out so I won't hold my breath.

Is it also Villa's fault that he can't spell the name of some of his players correctly?

Sounds like a Geordie. I think I'm right in saying he's a Newcastle fan. One thing he's definitely not is a Blues supporter.

And didn't Small Heath used to be part of the parish of Aston until the 1920s? they love being reminded of that

Facebook has been wonderful of late; the vogue seems to be for middle aged men to get dressed up in their finest then have a group selfie looking 'hard'. Laughable and pathetic.
