A lad I knew at Uni in Birmingham was a Birmingham City supporter and persuaded me to go along to this local derby.  The match was televised and took place on a Sunday lunchtime. We sat in the Tilton Road stand (?) near the corner with the Kop.  The Wolves fans were situated in the old wooden Railway End and were only allowed in the upper most tier as I recall. The Brum fans were very passionate, especially with it being a local derby and I remember giving Keith Curle a bit of stick at left back.  They have a very annoying song (Keep Right on?) which they obviously know all the words to, but it is really not catchy at all. The Tilton Road stand was pretty new and I was quite impressed with the facilities.  At the time only two sides of the ground had been reconstructed giving it an unbalanced feel.
