On the overnight news regarding a new proposal..Blues fans tell us their thoughts.
This is birmingham city..nothing is straightforward ..expect the unexspected
For me, I am torn. Blues means St Andrews and would be such a wrench leaving. My worry at a new stadium is if we don’t fill it, if there is a lack of atmosphere, a soulless bowl? But thats exactly what going down the blues is like now, most weeks it is like a morgue! I guess I am open minded to it…one thing though, we have to have premier league football in place as trotting out against reading on a tuesday night in a brand new stadium won’t be a massive crowd puller!!
If a new stadium is being looked into, Birmingham Wheels DEFINITELY isn’t a place where access to the stadium could be improved.
Prime land for housing redevelopment around there though
Great news. St Andrews as we all recognise has been destroyed. A new club needs to rise from these ashes. A new ground will give momentum and more importantly some excitement for the fans. The plans that David sullivan put in place are still there. Let’s put them in place.
If true then can’t come quick enough and if we have to move then so be it👍
Takeover yes, moving ground no. St Andrews is a unique stadium 🏟 would be selling are soul to move
Stay we’re we are KRO
I would be happy to move.
Look what moving has done for Man City. Often its more cost effective to build a new stadium from scratch rather than knock down and rebuild.
St Andrews is a tired knackered stadium.
Any new owners with ambition want to move us to another level I will back them 100%
Well as much as St Andrews has all our history, it is on a imited site and has never been lucky.
I’d welcome a move if I’m honest.. Small Heath is no longer a football environment.. most of the demographic aren’t interested in Blues or football and we as a club have become detached from the city.. for me it’s a no brainier to move but I totally get the drawer and Conection we have to Stans
Don’t want to move from St Andrews it’s the place where I was introduced to blues when I was a baby it’s the place where my dad got me my first kit it’s the place we’re when Ron Saunders hold me has a baby I don’t want to go look at Cardiff from Ninian Park to a stadium which is half empty all the time . Takeover yes moving god no .
Over to you…..

Blues v Baggies Fans Reaction
Blues fans react over last night's fantastic win! Hannibal MOM…
100% behind takeover, torn about moving from St Andrews head says yes heart says no kro
love st Andrews loads of good and bad memories take over yessss move not sure
love our ground but there is to much work to be done so a move for a new ground be good and a fresh start bring it on !!
how could you not want a new ground. as mentioned our history has only ever been good back in the 70,80s and then the prem era and cup win. Start a fresh somewhere new. we missed the boat with the nec plans. I am not sure where else could we move. the buyout seems promising and let’s not moan when someone with financial clout has shown an interest. although aren’t they a company who purchases struggling companies (like blues) improves then sells. Worth a punt though
I think 100% of fans want the takeover to happen and mixed reactions to moving. So many clubs in all divisions have moved and personally I’d be in favour of moving.
Things are finally looking up.Big investment is needed to get promoted these days.We haven’t had a hope of competing with clubs relegated and getting parachute payments, but there are always one or two clubs with a good team ethic who get promoted.Look at Brighton and Fulham this season.
As to the thorny subject of a new ground. Why not. Sure I’ve got lots of memories having supported Blues since 1956, but onwards and upwards.
I’m ok with blues moving, the main stand is old and out of date,also the reason it has never been developed is because the buildings behind are grade 2 listed buildings.so,it can’t happen.If you look at the teams that have moved to a new stadium,they get filled. Fans respond to a new ground,let’s hope it would be the same for blues KRO
We’ve had joys at St Andrews but unfortunately more sorrows, I would like a move, this season looking at the away grounds has been a bit embarrassing thinking they have or have to come and played at St Andrews it’s not a great feeling, we have to move with the times and hopefully this is the first step.
leave St Andrews and the curse behind. here’s to a brighter future
I think the comment about the area around the ground being detached from Blues is correct. the local atmosphere is totally alien to most Blues supporters who come from outside the area.
it would be a wrench to leave Stans but we have to get away from Small Heath, the whole area is so totally anti enjoyment. The locals are not interested in Blues/football, getting to and from the ground is a nightmare and there are less and less places to get a beer. A new ground is essential but not in Small Heath
will miss our saint Andrews Big time…but it we want the Big time…gotta go for it…as we journey on⚽️
Get ride of the gippsy curse new home new owner let get it on❤️❤️❤️
As much as I love St Andrews I feel the time is now to start afresh. Too much neglect has gone on and do feel we would benefit with a fresh start. I agree with all the comments of those in favor.
Can I just say that if the prospective owners are serious and willing to ue there business knowhow and money then Birmingham City have so much potential. I have been a Bluenose for nearly 50 years and I have seen more lots than high. The club is crying out for someone to come in and turn it on its head. People have constantly said we are a sleeping giant and they would be right.
If the owners can prove they are genuine then the fans will show up. So many fans have constantly been let down with broken promises and with good reason. We have a hard core bunch of fans who will stick by the club thru thick and thin.
If the new owners are going to let us down constantly like previous owners then this isn’t the club but if you one goal in mind to make the club sucessful then you will have our backking 100%
I was born in somerville Rd Small Heath You could see the floodlights from my bedroom window First went when I was 4 on my uncle’s shoulders but I would move to Wheels Park without thinking twice The future is blue kro
Yes everyone wants the big time but you will be made to pay over the odds for the big time.,Season tickets will be horrendous I’m sure.The reason why everyone loves St Andrews now is that the tickets are reasonably priced,the atmosphere is good and its friendly family club but im afraid that will be gone when or if we move but l accept things change but for the better ??? not always.
Old time was good at St Andrews 1970’s to 2011 winner league cup was brilliants Blues fans time, Look at Coventry road Small Heath getting worse damage now, If new stadium move into Birmingham NEC area they full Blues fans area Solihull, I like at St Andrews but move on new life and new stadium like winner in 2011 fab time with Blues fans and bring back again. 🙂
