Birmingham owners launch plans for new 'world-class' stadium 

From a Everton fan good luck to Birmingham city 🎉

They need to launch plans to stay in the Championship

So exciting, second biggest city in England so can see a huge stadium being easy to fill. I don’t support them but I’d love to see a Wembley of the midlands. England needs more world class stadiums

Special thanks to TOM BRADY 🇺🇸🏈

field of dreams (if you build it they will come)

This is all the influence of Tom Brady

I'm a Bluenose but this being us, it can only end in disaster. Contractor arrested, St Andrews already turned into flats, Blues having to ground share with Solihull Moors

Come on Tom Wagner and Tom Brady KRO❤️❤️

It's actually 60 acres as per the press announcement.

Unreal good times to come kro 💯👍

New world class stadium in league one.

keep right on

In all fairness birmingham is the 2nd latrgest city. I can agree. I love old stadiums but as a non league fan Brum City deserve it

Good on them. always my favourite midlands club. Real fans deserve to be successful..from a Geordie 🖤🤍

Birmingham is a huge city in the centre of the country. The current infrastructure is absolutely lacking and, under the right stewardship, big things could happen. This isn't pie in the sky stuff, it's legitimately possible.

Might want to review these plans. In League One.

This is great ❤

Forward.. the motto of the City!! Awesome news!! Get your season tickets people!! KROTTEOTR

Love this guys ambition!

Birmingham's very own Sport Squatter

Best stadium in League One.

Who remembers “old Trafford of the Midlands” 😂😂😂

Thank you Mr Wagner ❤

From a Villa fan, good luck next season hope you go straight back up KRO

do something about our stumblebum players as well old bluenose

up the villa i want blues to be promoted because then there can be a true prem rivalry

A world class team would be the first port of call.

It will be a 5000 all seater ready in time for league 2

I can't believe I'm sitting listening to this, is this actually going to happen at Blues my club? 🌎⚽🔵💙 KRO

I spent my whole youth skateboarding at Birmingham wheels. I’d rather it was a skatepark than a football ground. Close to St Andrews, though, so not a bad spot if they’re moving.

Given that it’s Birmingham, this stadium will start off well, the builders will go bust halfway through the build, leaving the site a desolate waste land for the homeless to occupy while the owners wait to appoint a new building contractor, who will want to redesign the whole thing from Scratch, leading them to be back at square one for the start of the next season. Only for them to do it all again next year

Maybe borrow the council instead

they need to modernise their logo as well. way too easy to draw a 'shaft' along side it 👀

Can’t even fill St Andrews, imagine a night game against Rotherham 😆

We can't put 3 passes together , I give up

Needs to make a good team first.

They can't even fill a 29.000 seat stadium lol. UTV!!!

Wish you well adrian blackburn fan

I’m all for ambition but 60,000 seems absolutely mental for BCFC

Its birmingham, the contractors will go bust halfway and the wasteland will then be changed to a different building to enrich and diversify the local population

So Where’s the Actual Football Team going ,seens you building a Worldy Stadium 😩⚒️

Any brummie blue or villa would recognise this to be a massive step forward for OUR city. Let’s push north west and London aside bd make the midlands the venue for sports events. Behind you Tom. Kro

“We want Birmingham to be the main club in the second city…” I’m a West Brom fan, and it’s going to take a lot more than a new stadium and facility to remove a well backed and well run Aston Villa from their perch, especially now they’re looking to cement their place in the top 6, and possibly top 4 in the prem…

Why😮

Word of caution from a Villa fan, our own plans for stadium and surrounding area development was thwarted due to Brum council backing off on infrastructure improvements around the area. The council is in a world of sh*t at the moment and forseeable future so BCFC plans shouldn't depend on the council investing if they want to succeed.

Should get a big name manager to match their ambition 😂

Good luck lmao, wheels was plagued with Japanese Knotweed- have fun with that

I have often found it weird that the stand at one end of the ground looks as if it is about to drop onto the adjacent railway line, as it is just on the edge of the embankment that separates the two. Various football clubs could be classified as sleeping giants but Birmingham City must be in that group. Don't forget that 20 years ago Manchester City were on a par with where West Brom or Wolves are now.

These new owners have been terrific since they came in but the one big mistake they made could put us in League One and we all know what that was.

Willing to spend 3billion pound......this man means business👍💙 KRO

Hardly surprising considering they've been highlighted as the next ' big thing ' it will take them a while to get it right though as the championship is a nightmare to get out of

Tottenham opened a can of worms 😂

Wow

Not sure if Birmingham is big enough to support two elite clubs. Villa's going to have to go down 😅.

We're in the headline for the first time since Wayne Rooney.

The Midlands is long overdue a top level club and a top level stadium To think that grotty mill town in Lancs has 2 biggish clubs and the Mid has no teams in Europe even... sthg is wrong.

This will get kicked into touch, if they go down to League One. That's reality. Birmingham NEED to stay in the Championship. This is imperative, if this new stadium plans ever get to be transformed into reality. The club need a boost after a pretty rough decade tbh. And with Villa hitting their stride and looking the best they've looked, for about 15 years; Birmingham cannot slip into the third tier....as this will see these plans go up in smoke. It'll also set the club back by about a decade. That's the last thing they need. They need to close the gap on Villa, not see it become a chasm.

5 years to build a new stadium. 10 years to be the best football club in the world!

It’s a case of if you build it, they will come. At the moment when Birmingham City sell out it’s 29,000 due to segregation and 3000 away supporters. we have sold out six times this season the Coventry game there was 21,000 people that could not get a ticket that’s home and away Support combined. You build a stadium which can house amount of Support you’re getting and also other venues to increase your income the higher your revenue stream the more money you can spend on your playing stuff as it stands FFP/sustainability rules 30% of your spending must come from incoming revenue/profit so the idea is that we maximise those profits to maximise the amount of money we can spend on the team. The stadium will not be designed for football matches alone. It is not just a stadium It is a sports Quarter a large venue for other sports. The stadium will be used for other sports also NFL and European competitions. Concerts. People who say that you should not be building a new stadium when you don’t know what league you will be in or you can’t fill your current stadium, basically have no clue what they’re talking about. If you want to compete with the top clubs and top venues today you have to have the venue to go with that you build and be ready it’s called forward planning .Not get to the Premier League with rundown washed up stadium and no plan for the future no money for playingstaff that is what you call failure.

Hes knows what he's doing.

They should give Birmingham City Council an ultimatum. Pay £1billion for this new stadium or we’re moving the team to LA.

Who do they think they are 😂

🎉 KRO BLUES incredibly excited news

Let’s see all the Envy come spilling out in Worded form….😂

talking about a world class stadium while sitting in relegation zone of championship

What's this 'second city' talk? London is the second city.

Good boost to the area ....thank christ 😂

I remember back in the 70’s when Man City were the poor neighbours then. Good luck to Blues it’s our time at last to shine 🥳

My God.....what's that stench, oh yes it's the twelve fingered mutants from Aston turning green.

😂😂😂 They should have released this statement on the 1st April.

70k seater stadium for a club that barely gets over 20k most match days and who are constantly fighting relegation in the championship and could possibly even be in league one next season 😂😂 ..i mean Real Madrid's new revamped stadium only holds ten thousand more than that LOL..who the hell do they think their kidding ..looking at it from the outside it feels and comes across like the new Birmingham city owners have brought into the "city" of Birmingham and the actual football clubs just going to be an attachment for them to have got their foot in the door ..looks like their going to be in it mainly to make money from entertainment and real estate around the city centre and the footballing side of things if Birmingham city don't end up getting into the Premier league will end up being a milestone around thier necks losing them money left right and center..and one thing to remember this is a hedge fund company so just be carful

💙💙💙💙💙

You should never leave youre home land and ground . They want to bring events there but they tend to go to london . You cannot build hotels there .

Don’t worry about stability just build fancy new grounds 😂

I'm still waiting for Gary Rowett to lead us to comfortable survival, only to get sacked on a high for the second time when Mowbray is ready to come back, only for Mowbray to oversee a plummet down the league and yet another tight relegation scrap. And then us Bluenoses starting the season after with positivity and a belief that yet again, the future is looking up

All the quiffs about which league blah blah, we will have the last laugh. Be ignorant.

Once built knock st Andrews down and build a car park👍

World class stadium for league one

New grounds are pretty shite usually. I hope it doesn’t ruin anything for them. 60k is utterly insane, they are not a big club and if Man City can’t fill their ground, then what hope have Brum got. Having a half empty stadium will be nothing but bad news. They average about 20k now so where is this fanbase suddenly coming from? They aren’t even the top club in their own city, and arguable 3rd or 4th in the West Midlands. Delusional Americans - very scary

Listening to those kind of guys : NFL won't play is the US anymore ...

Gonna look great when they're playing Aston Villa U21's in the Checkatrade Trophy next season

Birmingham City's average attendance is currently 16,000 in a 30,000 capacity stadium. Their all-time average over the past 149 years is just 20,000. The've never averaged 40,000 or more for a single season in their entire 149-year history.

Birmingham will boom post HS2.

Will look good in league 1

Be careful building a stadium. You might get a points deduction for trying to better yourself!! Good luck 👍

Well I suppose it’s time to move from Stans…never going to get the old stand modernised so why not ?..60,000 seems a tad ambitious…after 60 odd yrs a Blues fan I can’t see us getting anywhere near the Premier League for years ..probably be in league one for years as well..:

World class stadium 3rd rate team

KRO

Apparently the new stadium will be a 326 seat stadium,so they can TRY & sell it out each week!😆.

Try to stay in the championship league first? 😂😅

😂😂😂 Are they still going to continue this enjoy league 1 😂😂

60 thousand seater stadium in league 1😂😂😂😂

Best Stadium in League One 💜💙

The franchising of football is upon us

talking about “the product’ means he is clueless as to the soul of English football…

🌩⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

this team always kills me… villa fan 😂🤣🤣🤣

60k, hilarious

It'll be the best stadium in the Third Division.

keep on dreaming
