I believe it every time I go up Heathfield Road. I just choose to.

Same here!

When we were kids an uncle lived at the bottom of Heatbfield opposite the houses with the murals. I always used to think at night that one of the lampposts outside may have been THE lamppost.

Best i could do



Who’s the bloke on the left with the flat cap on? He looks like to bloke who’s chasing bond along The Tiber in Spectre.

That footage on twitter of the club's 150th party at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, kicks off with Lee Hendrie saying "I've never been in here before".

Lol, poor Lee, quelle surprise.

Looks like it was a good night.

Luciano Pavarotti.

Has he been on the slim-fast plan?

Isn't it 150 years to when we played our first game, give or take a few weeks? I think that's fair enough if there's dispute over when the cricket lads under the streetlight met and gave birth to us.

In the thread below, DW states that actually our first proper game was November 1875 (not Jan'75), so we are marking our 150th months before our first actual game.

That's a mistake. I should have said March.
Here is the St Mary’s game as reported in the Birmingham Morning News dated Tuesday 16/03/1875. The first Aston Unity games were stated 12/01/1875.

€9 all-in to have it sent to Ireland. Not bad.
