Hoping to break a jinx stretching back to Albion 4 Wet Shan 0 in the FA cup.
Come on you Baggies.
I think with your record you'd best stay away this Saturday.
I was at that Wigan 2-3 game and Wigan had to take the game to us to get the win and they duly did and beat us convincingly in the end. I think it was also the game in which 16 year old Isaiah Brown came on as a sub late on.(23-02-2017, 21:03)HRK Wrote: Clearly you've got a way with words and I'm not trying to plug your book for you or owt, but Brummie Road is a tremendous read. I'd urge everyone to grab a copy if you haven't done so already. I do hope you've got new projects coming up also so please keep us posted.
Brummie Road was indeed a great read. Some writers, like Catherine Cookson, use local accent/dialect (in Cookson's case, Teesside/Wearside) too much, and they actually kill the book, but Ska'd used it judiciously in Brummie Road, came up with a really good storyline, one which anyone can identify with, and it was interwoven with tales of the Albion. And I learned a lot about West Bromwich town in the sixties. So I too have been waiting for Ian Richards's second book and I am pleased to read it's nearing completion. Good on you, Ska'd, I can't wait to read it, and I hope it's a tremendous success for you.
