Oh, the irony.

Among other stories, the Official Birmingham City website is currently carrying two articles that may be of interest to Bulls fans who are already bemused by Karen Brady's recent unjustified outburst.

The first story, headed, "Football League dictates Premier League Prices for Carling Cup" is in the news section and claims that they wanted to help their supporters with the cost of tickets lower than the £10/£5 that has been fixed. In complete contradiction, is an article in the "away ticket" section offering the delights of yesterday's visit to Premiership giants Derby County at £38 for adults, £20 for concessions and £15 for juniors. The sting, however, comes with BCFC's own additional booking fee of £1.50 on each ticket. Then, to add insult to substantial financial injury the cost of The Blues official coach travel for the short trip to Derby for non-members is £12 and £10 for juniors (HUISA charge just £8 for the longer trip from Hereford to St Andrews and make a profit). No doubt Ms Brady considers this little outing represented good value despite it costing a total of £26.50 for a seven year old. Giraffe, tin bath etc..
