........ travelling to Birmingham on Saturday, you might like to check out a new website called Football Cities and view the Birmingham page.
It has been taken on by and being run by some Albion fans. You will see what it is all about on the About Page, where you will also see that it is hoping to raise some money for REMF (don't worry fans aren't being asked to cough up).
Launched a few weeks ago it has already had thousands of hits, by people in 238 cities in 26 countries. The majority, as expected, are from England and Wales and the feedback from fans from Sunderland to Plymouth and Swansea to Norwich has been very encouraging. The Villa fans liked the info they found on the Brighton and Hove page but of course that was soured by the rail dispute that evening. Comments from fans can be seen on the Contacts page.
Could you also visit the Facebook page linked from the About page where Birmingham is the city of the week. A "Like" would be appreciated.
The link is www.footballcities.co.uk Cheers.

Watford is in Hertfordshire, not Greater London and Dagenham and Redbridge have been relegated out of the Football League.

So non-league fans not encouraged? And yet your banner photo is of a non-league city (Chester).

West Brom not in Birmingham?

All seems a bit random, work in progress?

Good idea. Where does Chester fit into this?

Because of the M25, anything inside is regarded as London these days, a shame as the counties within don't really get mentioned these days, it's all about 'boroughs of..........'

West Brom not in the City of Birmingham but Sandwell. We may extend to all towns and clubs but generally the cities are the places to stay.

Good spot. We were trying to keep the entry photo as "neutral". All three photos on top of pages are due a change shortly as we are going to rotate regularly but using pics of the cities being featured on the site.

We have initially concentrated on hits to the site as more hits and Likes on Facebook page helps us to raise money for REMF.

So please keep visiting and feedback appreciated. You can see some good comments from fans across the country on the Contacts page.

Point taken but had to draw a line. May be able to complete for all 92 clubs in the future.

It's a bit of a shame when counties start to lose their identity, due to being engulfed by a city.
Would be horrified if Brighton was swallowed up such bureaucracy.
