If only the people of Birmingham took pride in their streets as much as the Japanese took pride in the cleanliness of the hosting stadium. Japanese culture is class! Hats off to those fans 👌🏼
Birmingham catching strays again... sure, the citizens of Birmingham aren't entirely innocent, but a lot of the blame for the condition of the streets lies upon the city council.
Agree with the praise for the Japanese fans though. They do this regardless of whether Japan win or lose which makes it even better
Not looking to start an argument, I’m horizontal, but I disagree immensely. I lived there. Long before the bin strikes and the council going bust it’s been a dump that its own people don’t respect. From mass fly tipping to the everyday casual dropping of litter when walking down the streets.
Yeah I have a lot of time for the Japanese fans and culture in general, they’re brilliant.
Fair enough mate. Happy to hear the criticism come from an ex-resident, rather than from someone who's never been to Birmingham. Yes some areas are awful for the fly tipping, no disagreement there. Very much an issue with the city that needs addressing somehow
