      'There are many more innocent people behind bars; not just Irish, English as well.' The words of Billy Power outside the court of appeal on his release. The Birmingham 6 were victims of the infamous West-Midland-serious-crime squad and were innocent. The Tottenham 3, M25 3, The Taylor sisters, Stefan Kyszco, The Cardiff 3, Bridgewater 4, I could go on, and were all wrongly imprisoned, none of whom were Irish.

      When you've got 12 random people of varying intelligence deciding your innocence or Guilt, many are going to be too thick to think for themselves and will just decide you're guilty. It's pretty terrifying actually. You could get 12 complete idiots ffs

    My auntie and her husband were in the Tavern In The Town that night. Luckily they were amongst the survivors, but they did suffer some injuries, as well as mental damage which it would wouldn't it - a bomb going off in was was essentially a basement cellar. If you look at the Tavern, you used to have to go down some stairs to get into the bar, so there were no big windows for the blast to escape and the whole power of the bomb hit that pub a lot harder.

      My Auntie was also at The Tavern in the Town that night but she wasn't so lucky. I thank God that my Parents did survive it, I was just 4 years old and so nearly became an orphan. They had planned to go out the night before but my Dad had to work so they went on that fateful night instead.
      I hate how the 6 Men are seen as the victims and the innocent Brummies are not. 🇬🇧💔

      I remember when it was called The Yard of Ale back in the late 2000s. I used to watch soccer in there on their sky sports big screens. It was only years later I found out it was the scene of one of the attacks. I was born 6 years after the tragedy so obviously don’t recall it. You are right it’s obvious why the IRA chose it as it was so confined with no windows and no natural light, downstairs. The only exit was that staircase you alluded to. Quite chilling really. I remember watching some games packed in like sardines. God knows what the victims went through that night

I never went in there myself, whenever I went on a night out in Brum I went to the Hummingbird.....come to think of it I'm sure I remember a club in 1970s Brum called the Night Out.

      Wouldn't have made any difference anyway. The real bombers Guildford admitted to that bombing when they were caught at Balcombe street and the judiciary ignored it and kept the Guildford 4 and McGuire 7 in prison despite the IRA men fully admitting to it and giving statements in court saying so.
