The brummies threw a party,
Oh how it made us frown,
Now we'll return the favour,
Cos them ***** have gone down,
 

True.  In fact I phoned and emailed twice.  

You’re actually wrong on two accounts I believe.
1) Not all the fans were behind the advertising hoardings.
2) According to the FA rules of the game, the referee cannot reduce the minimum time added on:
The fourth official indicates the minimum additional time decided by the referee at the end of the final minute of each half. The additional time may be increased by the referee but not reduced.

No, I completely understand what you are saying and clearly nothing was materially affected in our case and I don't think any action is necessary even if I put my neutral hat on. If the message from Bolton came through that it was done and dusted then that is an understandable decision.

However, I guess my point was that there may be greyer areas where the outcome is more nuanced. Say Bolton had the result that they needed and we had to avoid chucking it away against Carlisle and maybe Carlisle had pulled one back. Playing the extra couple of minutes would have become increasingly problematic as any whistle blow could have had a few people running on, followed by a stampede as every made the assumption that it was over. You might forcibly clear the pitch after 20 minutes of chaos and then because the game(and season) is still in the balance, have to come back and play 1min 37 seconds or whatever which would be a right mess.

Not wishing to be a killjoy, and it was an amazing day, but if just feels like pitch invasions in general are a bit on an incident waiting to happen. All it needs is some drunken/drugged up eejit to rabbit punch an opposition player who then sparks out into an advertsing board, sustaining serious head injuries.

It’s no big deal and to be fair, I didn’t stop for either the QPR or Villa presentations. In the latter case though it was mainly because I didn’t want to share the train journey back to Tamworth with a load of celebrating Villa fans.

Yes, but not sure how many. In the last prem season it was 5%.(only season we sold out ST’s c.23500)

Sad to see Smith not being offered a new deal. For the last few games of the season, thought he and Adams formed a good pairing in midfield. Will be interesting to see who Warne replaces them with.

Brown should be given a chance in pre season to impress. He could save us some money and you’d like to think Warne will give him a chance. The transfer window shuts about a month after the season starts so we’ll have an idea by then if he is ready. I’m not expecting him to be a regular but he could be a vital squad player. He has all the attributes you’d want. 

Imagine if they'd won their tribunal case, but the EPL under pressure from other clubs had appealed on a technicality and won, leading to other clubs suing them and their owner putting them into administration.......yeah, I'm sure they'd have accepted that without protest.
 

Look, I know it's the closed season and things are a bit quiet, but get a grip!  This is reading like the property supplement from the Daily Mail.
 Football forum, remember?

Absolute madness.

Boo! We don’t want these balanced facts on here. 

I actually like Birmingham the place, it's just those particular bluenose supporters that disgrace it.

I was trying to remember the last time we signed a player from abroad. I was getting excited until I remembered it was Jozwiak.
