For many years, people from the surrounding areas of Birmingham have travelled to Aston in the hope of experiencing an atmosphere at V*lla Park. After enviously watching Birmingham City's recent travels in Europe they suddenly discovered a thing called 'the clap' that some Belgian fans do for one of their ex-players. After copying this idea for a season, it now seems that the need to do this is thankfully coming to an end. But we want to encourage the club to keep this idea going and have recently asked fans from all over Staffordshire to send us their own personal reasons for continuing 'the clap' in the 19th minute. Here are our favourite suggestions so far........ 1) "My wife recently lost two fingers and three of her toes in a tragic gardening accident. It would bring a tear to my eye to hear the Holte Enders applauding the digits she still has left" Ozzy Kennedy, Lichfield 2) "The last time we won a trophy was '19' hundred and something" Crucial Christo, Cannock 3) "Three years ago my best friend was knocked over and killed by the number 19 bus whilst listening to a Paul Hardcastle song on her 'I -Pod'" William Cameron, Barton-Under-Needwood
