Swansea City are on a roll, scoring goals and entertaining the fans. This Saturday the swans travel to Birmingham. Its not in the north, it’s in the midlands, where Baz lives.
Away Fans Guide
It is best to drink in the city centre and get a taxi to the ground (about £9). If you are walking to the ground from the city centre, then you may care to stop at the Anchor Pub on Bradford Street, renowned for its range of real ales on offer. Although there are a number of Blues fans that frequent the pub they tend to be of the CAMRA bearded variety and therefore as long as you don't turn up mobbed handed, you should be okay. The pub is situated just behind Birmingham Coach Station. Going on further towards the ground then you are likely to pass the Old Crown, on Digbeth High Street, which apart from being Birmingham's oldest building, is also a pub which normally allows in away fans. Also in the same area is the DigBrew Company who are based on River Street (B5 5SA) and are open on Saturdays from 12noon. This brewery which is located in an old industrial unit has a bar inside and is welcoming to visiting supporters. Although basic inside, the beer (both real ale and craft) is good and the brewery is around a 15 minute walk away from the visitor's turnstiles (going in the general direction of the city centre)
If you coming by train, or decide to drink in the city centre beforehand, then if you like your real ale, then you can't do much better than visiting the Wellington Pub on Bennetts Hill. With 16 real ales on tap, including 12 guest ales, this is somewhat of a mecca for real ale drinkers. Also on Bennetts Hill, there is the 'Sun On The Hill' pub, which also shows televised sports and there is a Wetherspoons Pub called the Briar Rose, which normally admits visiting fans as long as no colours are shown. The Wellington does not provide food but has no objections to you bringing in your own. There are a couple of taxi ranks nearby that you can use if you wish to get you to the St Andrews ground. You can get more info on the Wellington pub website, including a live 'beer board' showing which ales they are currently serving. Just outside the main entrance to Birmingham New Street Station, is the Shakespeare pub, which is also popular with visiting supporters (normally under the watchful eye of the local Constabulary). Frequented not only those on their way to St Andrews but those on their way to the Hawthorns, as West Brom normally play their Saturday home games on the same day as Birmingham City. Alcohol is normally made available to away fans inside the ground in the form of John Smith’s Bitter or Fosters Lager (£3.80 per pint), as well as Bottles of Bulmers Cider (£3.60) and Wine (£3.90). However, for certain high profile fixtures, the Club opts not to sell any to away fans.
Official ticket news : Further tickets have been made available for Saturday’s Championship clash against Birmingham City at St Andrew’s (3pm). The Jack Army sold their initial allocation of 1500, with extra tickets now available on general sale. The Swans are going in search of a third straight win and are sure to have a strong away contingent cheering on Russell Martin and his players.

Plan O
Obafemi 😉 |
So chuffed for him. He's been gagging for precisely this for so long.
Good things come to those who wait, patiently biding their time.

They for some reason have started just hoofing the ball instead of looking after it since they scored.
Impatient play by us has brought that 2nd goal for Birmingham. |  |

Plenty of chances to clear it, but hell of a lucky deflection over our defence and into their striker's path. Even then Hamer saved and it bounced back to them. |  |

Three games in a week is too much for us at this point. So many of these players look out on their feet. | | | |

Not at all, players went into panic instead of looking after the ball.
Just an observation and an opinion. | |

Hamer was very unlucky, but the blame lies at the players in front of him, far to many poor clearances just hoofing it, which is fine if ball goes to someone or into space, | |

Players on the field need to take charge and manage the game. Only so much the manager from sidelines. | |

That's fair enough and something I have always said, unfortunately when opinions are told to be wrong and others class their opinions as fact....then the trouble begins. | |

Slightly better second half than first half from an attacking point of view, only slightly mind.
Oba is certainly more of a direct threat when on the pitch than some of our other options and there was far too much negative pointless faffing again until we went behind. Then we looked to create attacks with a more mixed direct approach.
Disappointing result. Poor performance.
Will let you lot pick the bones out of it, I’ll add my comments in the morning. It’s late/early here.  | |

I'd have taken 6pts from the next 9 on offer this time last week.
