Since1875
This thread has made me think back, making me feel old.
Around 2003 when I was 14 all my mates had English teams they liked. All mostly Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal. You know the usual big teams people latch on to. Those teams reminded too much of the old firm up here when it came to spending etc and not the sort of team I would enjoy being a fan off.
Long story short I happened to watch a Blues game and I really enjoyed it and the atmosphere seemed brilliant so started taking an interest.
When I eventually noticed Birmingham were formed in 1875, the same year as the mighty Hibees, who I have supported all my life, it was a no brainer to make them my English team.
As I say been to quite a few games up north, mostly Middlesbrough and Newcastle and once v Doncaster and loved it, despite how little I have actually seen us win. First win was a Zigic winner v Boro in a 1-0 win, what a day.
Can't wait for my first home game now.
Some commitment on a Wednesday night from Edinburgh. Fair play. Enjoy
