    Ona previous visit to Birmingham they attacked us exiting the ground and the police just watched and did absolutely nothing.

    We then had a double decker bus lined up to take us to Birmingham International Train Station (I think) and they attacked us on that as well.

    Last time I went they were all coming over the fences/hoardings on to the pitch to get at us.

    I won't be rushing back.
    Which year was that? I know you'll have been a lot. 

    The only trouble I've come close to was some oiks hiding behind railway bridges in 2013 or 14. I wasn't there in '98 when I know coaches got bricked. 
    '98 was pretty bad afterwards as we'd cost them the playoffs. That was when they bussed us directly to Brum International.

    In '96 we won 4 3 there on the telly and I think it was a Junior Reds coach that got attacked. 

    It was also a good job we rolled over on the last day in '93 to keep them up or you shudder to think what it'd have been like afterwards.
    But other than these occasions......

    Not underestimating what people went through, but the most recent of those incidents was 27 years ago.
    I've been to St Andrews twice more recently, and don't remember any trouble at all.

    Have drunk in pubs in the city centre, Digbeth, and behind the Tilton Road end, used a broad cockney accent every time, walked/ bowled to and from the ground alone and with group of lads 20 years younger than me and NEVER had any trouble. Sometimes you just have to show confidence and hey presto, the world is a better place. I may have dreamt some of that, memory fades, but i have definitely been there lots and escaped to tell the tale.

    I can't remember, but I think the poster above sounds right.
