Title: The Birmingham Senior Cup
Post by: Drummond on May 25, 2021, 11:22:29 AM

I decided to have a look at the records for this. Unsurprisingly we've won it more times than anyone else (19) and been in the final 28 times.

However, our last win was in 1984/85 and before that 1911/12. Our last final appearance was 1994/95 and 1995/96 where we lost to Solihull Borough and Blues respectively.

We have only entered it once in about the last twenty years, I think.

Is there any reason why we don't enter, even if it's just to give the U18s/U23s a bit of a run out?

Fear of being kicked, I think. Not that I agree with the stance.

This is Dave Cooper's domain. Get him back involved.

He won't be able to resist this thread.
