Midlands Football Clubs
.
There may be enough interest in these clubs together to sustain a topic.
i am thinking West Brom , villa , blues , wolves , burton , walsall , coventry etc ( apologies for any i havent thought of ).
as my club (villa) seem to be turning up after many dismal years , i am encouraged to speak up .
views welcome.

Re: Midlands Football Clubs
I would hesitate to class Coventry as a football club. The shambolic remnants of a football club, perhaps. Sadly.

Re: Midlands Football Clubs
Any reason why you omitted the entire East Midlands? Leicester, Derby and the two Nottingham teams? Did you mean a West Midlands Teams Topic?

===============================
sorry , no , i'll blame my geography, i would include them all also !
I have been to leicester (smashing town) , we (villa) were beaten 3-2 after we had gone 2 goals up .
that was the start of our final slide and the end of tim sherwood.
Typically we gave one of our best players away to them - marc albrighton - hasnt he done well .

Re: Midlands Football Clubs
Off to watch forest vs Newcastle on Friday - can't remember a team ever being on tv 4 games on the trot before like forest are at the moment. 2 wins out of 2 so far, hope it continues on Friday and the week after at the sheep dip.
In the background we're all hoping the owner buggers off in the next couple of weeks, no doubt taking the olly Burke money with him. I just hope the new owners start keeping the kids so we can have a proper team and a push at the big league.
COYR's!!

That would be Nottinghamshire, not Nottingham which is a city.
I used to go to the Mansfield Town home games a very, very long time ago. Stopped when I realised that I had no idea what was going on, most of the time, and that you actually had to to really enjoy yourself.

Re: Midlands Football Clubs
Also been to a fair few stags games, they're the second result I look for.
The owner seems to be doing everything he can to support the club and hopefully he can have some success with Steve Evans.

Still wrong. There's only one team in Nottingham
County is the only club within the City. Although our roots stem back to the Forest Recreation Ground in Nottingham, Forests current home at the City Ground is situated in West Bridgford which is outside of the City boundary and located in the Borough of Rushcliffe (Nottinghamshire).

How long have they been there?
My knowledge is from the early 60s

Re: Midlands Football Clubs
A Google reveals that West Bridgford is a large town which is a suburb of the Greater Nottingham conurbation.
Which means that to me at about 10 years old, it would be Nottingham, even though it wasn't.
Surprised to see that Trent Bridge is also in West Bridgford and not in Nottingham.

I've walked to both the Forest ground and the nearby cricket ground from Nottingham station and so I'd agree that both are in the city for all practical purposes.

Apart from, as already pointed out, by a strict political-geographic definition - it isn't.

I said "for all practical purposes" meaning, given the context, visiting those grounds.
The fact that it may technically lie in a different jurisdiction may well be a practical matter for people who live there. It may affect what elections they vote in, how much council tax they pay and which local authority they deal with. But in terms of getting to the ground, that's irrelevant. Well, unless it means you have to change busses but, as noted, it's walkable from the city centre.

Re: Midlands Football Clubs
It was historic walking down it last night just before 10!
What a game - could afford to miss 2 penalties and still beat the millionaire Geordies 2-1
Also thought laselles said he would celebrate if he scored last night?
One thing everybody in the ground came together on was the managent skills of Steve mclaren.
Now for the sheep next Sunday.

Re: Midlands Football Clubs
Villa's unbeaten run under steve bruce has ended.
leeds are very good and played well .
i cant help but notice that we were unbeaten with nathan baker at CB , i'm not impressed with elphick.
nor is gestede much use - i think bruce was mistaken to pick him .
and we are better with grealish playing , and i fear he will miss more games to come through self inflicted damage.
and gollini could have done much better with both leeds goals .

Re: Midlands Football Clubs
went to villa park yesterday for the WIGAN game.
my first venture into the championship.
a dire game with hardly a shot on target.
29000 fans turned up.
great goal by grealish sent the home fans home happy , wigan must be gutted , neither side deserved to win.
