Anyone seen this doing the rounds on Facebook? Apparently some villa fans nicked a wheelchair and brought it back to a pub in Brum. It's being circulated by a nose page, who are absolutely revelling in tarnishing our fans.
If true, after the twat shouting at the bus and potentially this, we have a few absolute bellends who have made our fans look like wankers yesterday. I hope they're proud of themselves
-
I hope to God this isn't true.
Clubs name is being dragged through the mud enough without some of our so called fans acting like idiots.
-
Yes, just posted a Twitter link on the fan's reaction thread. It seems to be a club wheelchair used to take reduced-mobility fans to their seats.

Facebook users can go to https://www.facebook.com/BCFCbluenoses/?fref=ts (https://www.facebook.com/BCFCbluenoses/?fref=ts) (Be warned! This is the Birmingham City FC Bluenoses page. They are obviously twisting the knife as much as they can while being indignant).
-
We are scraping the barrel now aren't we?
For fucks sake.
-
I don't think factions of our support can sink much lower when they do things like this.
-
I used to drink in the Marston Green Tavern now and again. What is it like these days?
-
Some comments on Facebook accusing the noses of making it up. You'd hope so, but it sounds like something modern day 'lads' would do for 'bants'.
-
Let's hope it is a fake (I've been encountering these all day today).
-
Call me a bad person and if it's true then I hold my hands up, but I don't believe it. I think the noses have made it up. It's been posted over on their Small Heath forum saying some of our fans had a scrap about it in the pub aswell.
-
Their fans seem to be willing it to be true, I must say. I don't know, perhaps there is a plausible reason it is in a pub in Birmingham. Perhaps one of our fans needed it and was given it? There are further photos of it in the pub

Does anyone recognise the Marston Green Tavern's carpet?
-

Well if this is true....
There's wheelchair stealing people that drink in there if that's any help. ;)
-
The Alan Cecil quoted in the twitter thread is a WWFC trust director so it looks as though it's true. How sad.
-
Yes that is the tavern carpet
-
How can you steal a wheelchair though? Surely the person would have been in it? And nobody saw the person take it and wheel it away and take it all the way back to the minibus or whatever?
-

It's wheelie good.
-
Ha-ha . the chances of any Villa fan walking in the tavern bar unless well known is zero .
It's a hotbed of noses . it used to be Villa early 80s but certainly was not.or is.not .
I would probably looked to our cousins releiving it on one of those visits and wheeling it out for this (no pun intended)
-
One of the mods Grandad used to drink in there RIP and he can confirm
-
The Tavern is 50/50 Villa Blues..
-
I would like to forget the last time I was in there (aged about 20). And I will not be saying why. ;-)
-
I'm sure if it was true somebody would've mentioned it on a Wycombe forum but they haven't.
-
That was when those nice men in the berets and striped jerseys gave you a Mickey Finn and you woke up three days later in the French Foreign Legion.
-
Great! now we can tick, steal a wheelchair, from our list of fucktard things to go wrong this season, Saturday saw three more gone,
Abuse players on/off team coach.
Fail to beat lower League team in FA cup
Have pubic confrontation with player on touchline.
Still to come....
Half arsed protest
Ugly couple with/without child in Jester hats crying at match that seals our fate.
Pitch invasion at final home with our own fans breaking cross bar.
-
Fan throwing season ticket at Remi Garde. Good chance of that happening when we hit 30 games without a win.
-
I'd heard at the match that the team had been booed off the coach and discounted it as bullshit, let's at least give them the chance to do something to be booed for.
-

I didn't go on Saturday but was called by a mate in the beer tent who said that, as he was talking, people were rushing over to the arriving coach singing "you're not fit to wear the the shirt" and "wankers" "wankers", BT sport also mentioned it a few times ( not the wankers bit)
-
lets hope the club make a statement about this!
-

I know it shouldn't but the first bit made me laugh in a sort of holding you nose trying not to laugh at funeral type way.

Me too. I have visions of some elderly Wycombe gent rather confused as he is wheeled away.

I arrived at the beer tent at 10:45 and I was in there until 12:15 and didn't hear anything untoward going on, it was unusually quiet though.
-
Surely someone will have to draw the crime scene.
-
Police have released a photofit of one of the culprits.

Wycombe Wanderers Wheelchair Wrongdoing.

Best thread title since African Car Reverser. Alliterative too. But crap if true.

It was a chair for use as and when needed at WW, rather that a person's own chair.
I had the misfortune to be stuck amongst a group of our lot on Saturday who were far more concerned about getting booze and yelling at their mates than they were with the football.
-
Agree UKR. As an away fan like you, I think it is not a wonderful band of brothers in all parts of our travelling supporters.
-
Adams Park - The Marston Green Tavern in less than 5 hours ..... David Weir is a Villa fan !!!

Very annoying weren't they? (Unless of course you mean me...)

Would these be the fans who, having travelled down on a coach with others and having drank with them for three hours, spot one of them about 20 rows behind? They then spend the rest of the game waving at them, laughing uncontrollably and finally resort to pretending to speak to them using their mobile.
-
I think what we are missing here is that somewhere along the line a miracle has occurred and someone has gained the power of their legs again. There's only one man who could be responsible for this holy act.
I'm writing an open letter to the Pope to get Doug Ellis canonised.

I thought Doug had already done that himself! ;-)

I was just outside the beer tent for about an hour or so before the game.
Kingthing's mate is right...the shirt chant and "wankers" rang out loud and clear...by a significant minority, it must be said. I was staggered that some of our lot couldn't wait to get to the players' coach and give them abuse before the game.
And as you say fasth, it was quieter than usual.
-

Nope, its Frank that I'm moaning about ;)
If we'd have know about the sit/stand where you like policy a bit earlier, we could have found a better spot
-
If I don't renew my ST next season I will send the money to Wycombe Wanderers to put towards getting a new chair.

It has been found at the Marston Green Tavern and is being returned, you have no excuse now you will have to renew. If I am forced to endure it then I don't see why you should get away with it.

Phew, I would have to sell a Hotel on Mayfair (or the Waterworks).
I suppose I better soldier on.

This is the sort of reporting we should be coming down heavily on. It's the little things...
-
That's how the Mail reported it? Well known Blues pub with Nose heroes framed stuff behind the bar last time I was there..... fuck it, what is the point? And over the last few months I include your pal Matt in that. They have an agenda of woe and report in the worst possible terms. How the fuck am I to argue that on behalf of The Trust though?
Our club issues with local media are making everyone's job more difficult.

At least if you get legless in the Tavern they have special transport laid on.

What a shocking article. Almost makes the Birmingham Mail look unbiased.

This is actually in the article, pathetic.
Birmingham City supporter Peter Hart said: "They are the scum of brum hopefully find the owner and good luck in the replay!!"
-
So is it real or a hoax?
-
It definitely got taken but there's some conjecture as to whether it was actually stolen stolen if that makes sense because apparently it was laid on for a disabled Villa fan.

I don't think laid on means you take the bloody thing home with you though
-
Does it really matter how it's been reported?
Surely the fact that one/some of our own have done this should be boiling your piss not how it's been reported FFS

Fair point.
-
Sometimes I wish I was like the noses...totally innocent of any wrong doing ever.. people have been injured maimed and killed at football matches . Perspective springs to mind.
-
How does this compare with smashing up toilets and seats at a football ground (could always do a Baggie Bill and send them a cheque for it - I am not being serious before any comments).
How many people have walked away from a venue (football or otherwise) in high spirits with something that belonged at that venue.

It shouldn't.... But this has made me laugh!
-
Perhaps they wanted one so as they could practice their drawing?

I understand what your point is.
My son walked away from the LAST game at Saltergate with a big Chesterfield sign. The attitude of the Stewards was " TAKE what you want "
Reminded me of the final days of the Holte End.
-
Why are the Mirror sticking the boot in? There's an article on their site saying Bacuna is being targeted by fans with Vile abuse about his baby daughter on twitter. Shall we check on every footballers twitter account and see how many ridiculous comments we can find made by internet trolls and the mentally deranged?

Really I drank in there from until 2005 and go back there to see mates . non football or Blues and it was 100% the same .
Some Villa go in the lounge the Bar was firmly Blues and some of their more notorious chaps used it .
And to be honest they were decent with me .
Maybe it's changed as it used to be a big Villa pub in the late 70s early 80s and even ran a coach to Milan . so maybe later than that .
Some of the Blues in there are very very funny lads . and we're great company football aside .
Some I counted as good friends .
But lord did they hate us

Anyone remember the man who loved danger from Kentucky Fried Movie? I was passing the Tavern bar one night a couple of years ago (I'd been drinking in the lounge) when I noticed it was packed as the b-losers were on the telly.
I ran in and shouted 'UP THE FUCKING VILLAAAA!' at the top of my voice. They all turned round but nothing happened.
