Title: Birmingham Mail autocorrect
Post by: Risso on May 04, 2017, 10:32:58 AM: It seems that any link to the Mail puts a load of asterisks in which makes it unclickable. I understand the reason for doing so because it's a shit rag, but occasionally they carry an interesting story. Any chance of turning it off, and leaving it to individuals to make the choice as to whether they want to click on it or not?

How about a poll? ;)

Check out this story from a couple of days ago:

http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/birmingham-city-among-best-supported-12979447

Basically, the headline is Blues fans are so loyal as they are the 8th best supported away club in the Championship.

In the article there is a table with all the numbers. Guess who's top with double the amount Blues take away?

And, depressingly our away record is worse than theirs (we are 20th on away games alone which is shocking)
