Nice bit of info.,there are unkind people who might say, "are they worth it today"...at 1904 prices.
 
I think Small Heath F C became Birmingham Football Club round about 1904-1005
It didn't become Birmingham City, till sometime in the 1940's.

Yes, Ive got the newspapers from 1905 where they change their name to just 'Birmingham'.
 
Small Heath, Small Heath Alliance, Birmingham or Birmingham City...They'll hammer the Villa this seaon...a rose by any other name. altogether now...."Keep right on to the en.........
 
David I suppose it was easier to spell thats all.
Their few supporters never use it for that reason thats why they use Blues.
 
Mornin' Alf and all you twelve toed Golams. I thought this would get you out of your caves. Be afraid, be very afraid...the Blues are coming to get you....
 
Morning Beamer, Hibernation Ok was it.

You might think it wasn't worth getting up for when we get at you.
 
Hey up Alf...I thought Hibernation were a team in Edinburgh...Wont be long now before the new season...can't wait to hear Mr Delightful O'Neill's excuses...Happy cos I'm Blue...
 
Allright you smart a*ses, I thought you'd catch on to the fact that as the thread was about FOOTBALL I didn't have to consider other sports.
Also, our glorious Forum must stand above such Partisan things as Football!
And basketball? What's that all about??

I would remind all the Birmingham City FC knockers that we won the League South Cup in 1948, a trophy that the Villa cannot win as it was discontinued with the return of Leagues 1,2,3 & 4 after WW2, and we strolled at Villa Park to win the Football League Cup 3-1 on aggregate in 1963 and they can never win that and City still have that!!, Blues for ever!!!. Len.
 
"Was that a freudian slip or am yer a geine Blue Nose?"

Beamish, what do you think?

Started going down there in 1956 and have been a Season Ticket holder for most of that time. God knows how my heart keeps going!
 
Come on now Len, You cant expect me to remember what went on during the period when the bow and arrow was a secret weapon mate! Anyway, all joking aside, I hope you enjoy your season in the Premier League lol Tom
 
Gone very quiet lad's, nothing to do with BURTON ALBION I hope!
 
Greetings Tom...I'm hopeless at spelling...that little place in Andulasia, Espana ..how do you spell it er...is it Mala....o I just cant think..of course you'll know...didn't the Girl Pinks lose there recently?
 
Isn't it wonderful to see youthful ambition...Both Gareth Barry - a promising youth with potential - and too, Zak Knight have decided to move to much bigger clubs...It is indeed getting far more difficult for mediocre clubs to hang on to their best players. Ah well, that's life.
 
To be fair, it was a Blues' academy team that played Burton. Mind you, the reports coming back from Austria suggest that the first team are not doing any better - no goals in 2 games .... and Al Hilal have just taken the lead in the third game of the tour. Think I'll switch it off!

Watched the Villa v Malaga match last night and it was a diabolical performance. Not sure where the goals are coming from for either team this season.

They moved on to have a rest because they will spend most of the season on the bench on more pay.
