After another gloriously satisfying three points at the weekend against Shrewsbury Town, my sense of the feeling from supporters exiting our St. Andrew’s was akin to walking on air. Fanciful probably, but the sheer joy of seeing a performance so complete and stylish left big smiles all round.
There has been an enthusiasm and optimism engendered among the Blues faithful that has been missing for many years. It’s great to see full houses at St. Andrew’s, great away support, goals scored and good football being played.
As the new season is almost upon us I am really heartened by the off the field activities and the results on the pitch too. It’s very pleasing in particular to see the clean up campaign around the ground…..
Before the ink had dried on the rubber-stamping of Blues’ relegation, the club’s leadership would have been more than aware of the naivety which sent us down…..
If, like me, you fear the Blues’ goose is finally cooked this season it doesn’t mean we should give up hope. And the omens are really interesting. Almost exactly 10 years ago, on May 3, 2014, Lee Clarke’s Birmingham travelled to Bolton Wanderers, needing to better Doncaster’s result on the final day to survive another year in the Championship.
I wrote to you in 2021, an article you were kind enough to publish. It received some kind and interesting responses, and given the current situation I feel moved to write again.
