we're going up! - part 1: anticipation



In February we seem dead and buried - languishing in the bottom half of the Championship.  But a ten match winning streak and a steely performance against West Bromwich Albion sees us in the Play-Off final.

We came to Wembley last season only to find our team defeated by Fulham.  This time we mean business. Expectations are high in the build-up to our match against Derby County.























































 








pride - an alternative view



Not everyone enjoyed Birmingham Pride 2019. This small group, comprising a strikingly unusual combination of a Northern Ireland evangelist (shades of Ian Paisley), two Muslim ladies, various stoutly stockinged ladies and an eccentric gentleman who clasped a ghetto blaster tight to his head to block out nascent sin, expressed a contrary view.

Instead of love, joy, peace and harmony they appeared to support an agenda of hatred, fear and discord.

I beg to differ. I wore my NHS Pride badge to church on Sunday.
