Another plug for a supporters club, this time a lot closer to home! We spoke to Lynda Courts of the club, and she gave us this information. (We actually met Nigel and Lynda at the recent supporters forum before the Fulham game).

We are Redditch Blues, and we have been in existence for over 16 years. The club was previously run by Sam Joseph, Chris Lindsey and Dave Wormington, but due to ill health and other personal reasons the committee stepped down in May 2009 and Myself and Nigel Davidson took over. Our honarary president is Tom Ross of BRMB and amongst our members we have the pleasure of the Wembley goal scoring hero, Paul Tait.
