Being cold and wet figure strongly in my earliest memories of the Brummie Road! Also, the little birdsong whistles that blokes used to do before kick-off as the terraces filled up, and the Liquidator (obviously); being down in the bogs one time when we scored, and an absolute shower of dust and paint off the walls raining down around me like a snow-globe; blokes kissing their hands and touching the roof of the exit as they left at full time.
Incidentally, the first song which "started" the Brummie Road on 7th November 1964 was a classic which has never really left the repertoire of football fans in the fifty years since. Just change "let's go" to "West Brom"...
