My Mate reckons the pope is heading off to Oscott College this afternoon. If he heads down the Walsall road and takes a right up College Road do you reckon there's any chance of him sprinkling some of his holy stuff out of the left hand side window to blow over Villa Park?

He is indeed, coming by helicopter though apparently.

Do helicopters have windows you can wind down?

I'm afraid my knowledge of helicopters is restricted to Airwolf.

Well I know Villa Park is a great place but I can't (and don't want to) imagine the Pope having a wank over it out of a helicopter window.

Maybe he's in one of those open doors type helicopters - Apocalypse Now style...

I was at the Mcdonalds on the College Rd getting a drive thru, & had to wait for the Popes cavalcade to pass, There was a serious amount of security as well as uniformed types.
Does anyone know if the Popes visit was the reason that West Mids Police let Albion /Small Heath play @ 3pm on a Sat, as they couldn,t police to "big events" on a Sunday?
I,ve had to go from Sutton to Harborne & back to day, & never seen so many police out & about

A helicopter has just flown over my house heading in that direction

I couldnt give a crap about the visit

He came by car, seems my pontiff ITK was a little off-message. I took the kids up the road to see him, they were very excited, not as excited as when they went to see Peppa Pig mind.

Was he in the pope mobile or just a normal car?

Normal car. It was the Chester road he was on way back to airport

Normal car.
Pype Hayes and Wylde Green have never looked so good from the air.

The famous Pope from Deutschland went to Brum to see the Villa!

Interestingly, the German Pope knew how to pronounce Birmingham - take note Londoners

For a German it's actually an easy word to say. It could almost be a German name.
Never met a German who could pronounce `Villa', though.

Where were the bottles being thrown at his car. If it was good enough for David Gold then surely it was good enough for that old deluded dick!

Can anyone clarify where Oscott College is, i have a bet going that it is in Erdington and not Sutton.

Oscott College is opposite Halls Garden centre, which also includes Ashley Blakes old bar, The Place to be,
The garden centre have turned the former bar into a coffee shop.
Top of Chester Rd , by the traffic lights.

There's a cemetry at the back of Oscott College. Great view of Birmingham centre from there.
The area is called New Oscott but has a Sutton post code.

I used to live near Oscott College when i was a kid. Sometimes we would go into the grounds and get chased out by monks.

I'd class that side of the road as being Erdington.

When he first arrived yesterday apparently he landed on Wasthills Training Ground (the shits in other words).

BBC news had it just as Oscott!

What about Helicopter Rescue? It's on after Breakfast Telly on BBC1. Great stuff if you're throwing a sicky. Which I obviously never do.
