'Thick Brummies are Bluenoses' would have been a more fitting campaign headline.

Well if two footballers who I've never heard of and are probably shit say it, then it must be true.

If the idea is to promote the city, then all they need to do is put "only a few..." in front.
A disclaimer, if you like.

This could catch on in other places.
All Barcelonans are Espanyol fans.
All Glaswegians are Queens Park fans.
All Merseysiders are Tranmere fans.
All Hamburgers are St Pauli fans.

Ahh bless, I'd really think both are pathetic if it really warranted any thought whatsoever. 4 million targetbase and they struggle to get 13k through the gate.

As a born and bread Brummie I'd suggest that the title of that campaign is actually quite offensive. Or at least I would if I hadn't given up caring what this gash publication passes off as news.

I think the campaign is spot on. And, as a born and bred Brummie, unlike the rest of you wankers from the Shires, I now follow the only true team from Birmingham.
SOTV.
up the Blues.
KRO.
Why does it feel like only a few people are listening?
Sod it. Back to the Shires then.
