Thread: Blues game

  1. #1

    Blues game

    Evening all - never done the derby before, always been a bit worried about being in the wrong place at the wrong time but got to scratch the itch so going on Sunday.

    The boys in blue have set things up the same as last season with most villans having to walk around 3 sides to go in & out if you're parked in the direction of the A34, I'm in the Doug upper in the block next to them. I'm sure most of you have experiences to share of this fixture in recent years?

    The last one I went to was the 5-1 win under MON. I had a season ticket in the lower Doug. I didn't see any trouble though.

    Yes thanks for that Bongo.

    I may be mistaken but….. I think W C V was referring to “experiences” as in something vaguely interesting

    Depends on what you’re after mate .
    I’ve probably done around 15 or so at VP and 9 or 10 at the sty in all comps, there’s always scuffles to be had if you’re looking for it.
    We have more than our fair share of idiots as well, so watch out for our lot and walk the other way. I’m sure your street smarts will suss it out, it’s easy enough to spot a mob forming.
    Admittedly, where you’re sat, the odds would usually be higher when exiting the ground. But as with their place, West Mids finest will be keeping them behind post match.
    It isn’t the warzone it used to be, Witton Island can be a bit fruity pre-match and certain areas of town will be busy but overall you should be fine.
    The atmosphere can be toxic but at VP it’s usually bouncing.
    You will love it mate if we win, I’m dead jealous.

    On the pich my only fear is what Jota will do to Hutton’s positioning and how long Hutton will wait before launching him and getting a red.

    3-0 to the good guys, making it 7 in 7.

    Good to know Exiled, cheers mate - Hutton for me has better positioning at left-back and like any wing-back will be asked to bomb forward with maybe Thor covering. Rarely a spectacle I'm going for a 2-1 win.

    Freer - bit harsh on the Bongster fella

    I tell you whats interesting. The last goal blues scored at VP was in that 5-1 win.

    Thankfully that goal scoring drought has continued and were lying 2nd! Ok Cardiff and Derby have games in hand but the pressure is on them now. I was getting slight anxiety at half time but the goal came eventually. Can't wait to see Hourihanes goal that sounded like a cracker.

    Thanks exiled 👍🏻 not as good as the commentary made out but can't complain.
    That's good that we're 2nd properly. Just need to increase the gap now and stay 2nd!

    Got myself a now tv sky sports day pass and sat down with my
    Lad to watch in and wasn’t disappointed..

    Two very good goals and totally out classed them.. Jedi was superb today and although didn’t expect any changes totally agree with this one. Grealish is really starting to run the show and was outstanding again..

    Great result and great to be up in second and starting to really come together isn’t it
