Despite relegation from the EFL Championship to EFL League One there has been a massive transformation at Birmingham City. Soaring season ticket sales, sold out home games and away allocations, millions of pounds spend on the stadium and infrastructure, land already purchased to build a brand new Sports Quarter including a new stadium and of course who can forget the mother of all League One Transfer Windows, plus much, much more!
The future is undoubtedly exciting for all Birmingham City supporters however there is a great deal of mis-information, speculation and lack of understanding about what is really happening from those outside the club. In this podcast we try to provide an insight from inside the club from a fans perspective and address some of the nonsense banded around particularly on social media from some fans from other clubs and the media generally.

Great post chaps. It is incredible that this is actually happening to us and you've summed up all that is positive around our beloved club very well there. I still wake up and pinch myself each morning, then smile when I know I'm not just dreaming this. It's been a long time coming, but great to be a life long Bluenose and be there for this new era for the club. All those bad times make this all the more sweeter!

@BCFCRoyalBlue 4 дня назад

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. I'm exactly the same as you and cant quite believe what is happening. The owners have done a fantastic job and spent a lot of money since they came in but it was always going to really take off once they overhauled the squad. Now it is lift off! KRO!

@oldnblue 4 дня назад

The whole game day experience is at a completely different level, before it was a case of truck up, see dross football and then trudge home, now it's an entertainment before, during and after, making it a great day out. Sure, the club is taking more money from us, but from my pov I willingly pay up as I have a smile on my face Just waiting to see what their plans are for the Main Stand now, they've admitted they ran out of time for that, but it's next on the list KRO guys

@BCFCRoyalBlue 4 дня назад

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. The match day experience is fantastic and as you say not just a case of turning up then going home! I don't think there will be any major plans for the main stand but they will be making some upgrades similar to other parts of the ground. It will be interesting to see what they do. KRO!

Great video again guys! Just want to say regarding Chris Davies,I remember when Keegan went to Man City in the championship it took quite a while for them to grasp how he wanted to play and to get going. For Davies to come into his first job as manager and stamp his identity on the team straight away is unreal! The football we're playing is fantastic. I'm just hoping the other Galactico's don't sack Ancelloti! KRO

This is the best football Blues have played since the days of Freddie Goodwin. Francis, Latchford and Hatton. We also have strength in depth and those who come on as subs are arguably just as good as those they are replacing. As for the money side I could be wrong but weren't both Chelsea and Man City towards the bottom of the Premier league when big money owners stepped in and brought success?. Any of those teams in league one or the championship would be over the moon if they had owners like ours.

Thank you very much for your comment John which is greatly appreciated. I have to keep pinching myself to believe that this is really happening to our Birmingham City.

I know we keep saying it but it’s clear when you speak to noses, it’s unbelievable how the feeling around blues is right now. It’s nothing I’ve ever felt since I first started going St Andrews as a 7 year old. Even the Prem days didn’t feel like this - we had no ambition back then did we? I agree that relegation was ‘good’ in a weird way, for the reasons you list but mainly because I think Wagner will have learnt more than if we’d stayed up. It’s also nice wining games regularly. That said I do believe we would have been competing in the Championship this year had we stayed up. It’s so hard to forgive Gary Cook for that Rooney appointment but he’s making it easier. What are your thoughts on Cook? Just interested as he’s never really spoken about but I’ve always had an uneasy feeling about him and it’s almost for no clear reason. We will go up this season and I believe we will go up next season too, providing they stump up more investment in players. It’s bloody amazing right now, I’m loving it!

@BCFCRoyalBlue 4 дня назад

Thank you very much for your comment Lewis which is greatly appreciated. I speak about Garry Cook at the end of the podcast and thank him for what he has done so far and what he is doing for our great club. We definitely dropped the ball with the Rooney appointment but Garry Cook has been instrumental in all the good things that have happened to the club so far and in my opinion we should be extremely grateful to him. Gary Cook was instrumental in the building of Manchester City and he is now doing the exact same thing at Birmingham City. KRO!

@lewis9815Z 4 дня назад

@@BCFCRoyalBlue I did see that part where you thanked him - I’ve just not heard much about him otherwise it’s usually Wagner which we all speak about. I agree that he’s done great aside from that appointment, when I say I can’t forgive him it’s very much tongue in cheek. He’s got pedigree and looks to be doing a job atm too. Great stuff so far.

When, not if, we get promoted 😉 there is just no way these owners would let this team stagnate in league one or the championship for that matter. It might take 5 years it might take 10 years but at some point in the not so distant future we will be a premier league club and hopefully we can copy a Brentford etc. and be fighting upper mid table with a couple of nice cup runs and hopefully eventually be breaking into those European spots. That has to be the long term aim. However for now I’m just happy to be enjoying the ride! KRO

The big difference is the players have a winning mentality. Last year fans said there was a lack of leadership on the pitch. This year it's like a team of captains egging each other on. The strength in depth is also great for keeping players on their toes. For far too long out of form players have kept their shirts because of a lack of alternative.

Love the show lads really interesting as normal. You forget how much they have done for the club in such a short time frame. The money invested all through the club, teams, stadium and shop which fans can see. Unable to purchase a session ticket for me and my 2 boys due to work and other commitments but we did go to the Wrexham game. OMG what a game. The noise was deafening at times and me and my boys had to shout at each other to talk. I have been supporting this club for over 40 years and even when we spent a few seasons in the premiership the match day experience and atmosphere was never like this. I agree we should stand up as fans and clap the work the management and the board have done chanting their names as if they have just scored the goal to send us back up. For Many years we have been a laughing stock especially to our neighbours but now we have our rivals looking at us and wondering what next, even how are we going to stand up against the blues when we play them we are on the rise and yes we will stumble on occasions but every journey is a mission, but for once and finally this mission is not now impossible. Mission Wagner is well underway. Up the Blues lads.

I thought that was a really nice and positive message about Gary Cook. He really has worked hard behind the scenes, and yes he did take a lot of stick over the Rooney fiasco, but we don’t know the whole story etc, so maybe a bit unfair to blame him entirely. Anyway as you said, ‘he doesn’t get the credit much’, but I believe as you, he has done an incredible job with Birmingham City so far, and let’s not forget Mr Wagner is a very good/clever businessman who would not have gone after G.C., If he did not think he was the right man for the job. I believe we should have a lot of faith in him, he is going to make our Beloved Club massive in both business and stature. So yes a big Thank You for G.C. In you we believe 💯💙 KRO Great podcast by the way, love watching you keep it coming boys 👍💙KRO

In terms of the rising prices, from a business point of view, we’re a better “product” all around. You have to anticipate prices rising, that’s just the way of the world, you get what you pay for. And like you said, you can’t have it both ways, a much better experience with a more successful club will cost the fans more, or what’s the alternative? Keep the same prices and accept mediocrity. I know which one I’d chose every single day. One final point about the “DNA/Americanisation” thing, that will never happen to the club, it’s us fans, us working class, salt of the earth people which will always retain the DNA of the club. We are the club. Players come and go, owners change hands, but us fans will always be the same.

@richardpincher8936 4 дня назад

Prices need to remain within the reach of the ones that have supported the club with loyalty and commitment through all of the tough times. I don't want to see the working class man/woman being priced out of being able to go or take their family. That's the DNA. I'm lucky as I'm sure many more fans are that we don't have to worry about increasing prices. We can retain the DNA by bringing in money through the match day experience and sponsorship and the commercial side of things so to keep ticket prices affordable for all. The pricing of tickets has to be right to ensure that the DNA isn't lost. The owners I hope see and understand that. I know that there are already things in place to make sure that some fans where cost is an issue have been looked after. That's really important and I want to highlight this. We don't want to see the fans seen as customers. I don't need to mention the names of clubs that have gone down that route. However, people will still pay it, that's the modern ugly side of the beautiful game. I have been lucky enough to enjoy the hospitality experience on more than one occasion in the past. However, the increased cost of this means that I might not do this as often if at all. That's absolutely fine, I'm OK with that but I wouldn't want that for fans who would be priced out of going to watch their team who sit in the Tilton, the main stand etc and the same when we move to our new stadium. I'm happy to pay for success but I don't want to lose those fans who were there when it wasn't great. Who kept right on, more than most. The local community is really important and I do think that the club gets that and so making sure that the local community can attend games is an important part of the club as a whole. KRO 💙

That’s how my childhood went born into a villa family taken to villa park standing on the witton mound of earth until I was old enough to catch the bus on my own and started going to the blues and I’ve never stopped what a great group of fans we have KRO FEA 💙

Hi Garry &Matt , last season was a massive disaster and shock , but to be fair to the owners they've realised they messed up , but they have really got the bit between their teeth , sorted the club out , massive recruitment , cleared the dead wood , everyone is buzzing it's brilliant

Thank you very much for your comment Tony which is greatly appreciated. To be fair to the owners they have been brilliant and despite relegation its a great time to support the Blues! KRO!

Cup half full?? Mine is overflowing!! Being an OAP money is not as easy to come by as it used to be but as long as the government gives me a free bus/train pass and I can afford a season ticket on the ticket while the government gives me a triple lock pension then I’m happy 😊 Lived on beans n toast before, chip butties 🥪 etc! Living the dream!! KROTTEOTR

To go from Peter Pannu and Dong Ren to Garry Cook has to be one of the biggest upgrades in all of football. I remember the women's team having to publically shame the club for not even providing basic facilities, now the women's team thriving again and playing their games at St. Andrews. Hopefully a double promotion this season for both the men and women, Wagner and co deserve it, they've improved every area of the club.

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Garry Cook is a massive upgrade who I'm sure know exactly what we need to do to achieve Knighthead's vision. A double promotion would be amazing! KRO!

Hi both. Garry do you remember the porter cabins as the player's changing rooms in the 80s & people have the cheek & ordasaty to call us cocky kro & keep up the great work 👍

@BCFCRoyalBlue 4 дня назад

Thank you very much for your comment Robert which is greatly appreciated. That was one of the main reasons for this podcast, to let fans from other clubs know what we have been through. Yes, I remember the portacabins! KRO!

1st time viewer, great post and obviously as dad/son you two have a great understanding together. Other teams fans are saying £15M for Stansfield at L1 is ridiculous. But it's a 7 year contract, and we'll be in PL within 4 years. We didn't need Stansfield to win L1, we already had May and Dykes fo that. Because of FFP we probably couldn't buy Stansfield next season. So we've bought him now for the PL. £15M for a PL striker is nothing. New subscriber, KRO

@BCFCRoyalBlue День назад

Thank you for your comment which is greatly appreciated and a warm welcome to our channel. I think we probably have overplayed for Stansfield right now but as you point out I think we will look back in a very short period of time and realise where fantastic value that was. Looking forward to another sell out this weekend and another amazing atmosphere! KRO!

If we'd have been relegated under the previous ownership I would have really feared for our future existence, but with this lot in charge it was the polar opposite. Just a blip rather than a catastrophe, and a chance to re-set and move forward.

@BCFCRoyalBlue День назад

Totally agree with this Bob, thanks for commenting, KRO! :)

As a lifelong bluenose this makes me nervous I keep thinking when is it all going to come tumbling down, I know I shouldn't think this way but other blues fans must be as nervous as me.

@BCFCRoyalBlue 3 дня назад

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Dont worry mate, in the back of our minds we all feel the same! Hopefully we can all start to get that winning mentality as fans which has been lacking for so many years! KRO!

I love this podcast, i love talking about the blues, i love thinking about the direction and the path we are embarking on. It's such a breath of fresh air after the last 13 years, and takes away the feeling that supporting the club is a chore, and must be done because if we don't keep the club alive it will just die. The transparency from the board, the checklist of items they promised to address being successfully passed off, and the presence on media and in person are the biggest things we all wished for, and have been delivered! We are extremely lucky to have been chosen, and I'm proud to be a supporter of this resilient club Keep Right On Bluenoses

Fantastic podcast Matt and Gary,everything to said is so true. I've been supporting the Blues for 57 years ,this is the best atmosphere and our owners have gave our club back to the fans. Best since Freddie Goodwin with our Trev and the two Bobs and Gordon Taylor on the wing. ❤ love it lads.kro.

Absolutely love hearing these stories. The game vs Wrexham was incredible. For a league one match it felt like a Barclays game from 2008. Another big win for the blues Saturday. Should be a fun season. The return leg to Wrexham is one to look forward too. A very small ground. Will be loud. KRO

Hi Gary and Matt. I enjoyed your discussion. Last year I used to dread our games especially when Wayne Rooney was our manager. It also broke my heart that Saint Andrews was in such a state of disrepair. Who could imagine then that things would turn around completely in a short time thanks to our new owners. KRO

70 year old here , those around my age have seen it all at the Blues , i won’t bore you but trust me out of 65 years there have probably been 10 decent years ! Trevor , Bob , premier league years , beating the vile , crying at the leyland daf final when the crowd sang Keep Right On ! Most famous being the Carling cup win . Then from nowhere comes Tom Wagner , to you young fans respectfully , you only know the recent history trust me it has been bad . Now we have the future we always knew we should have ,so when you see some old farts shaking there heads in disbelief with tears running down there cheeks you now know how we feel ! ! Grasp the process and support this club with all you’ve got because after all these years it’s finally happening for us .FEA. KRO

Thank you for your comment Michael which is greatly appreciated. I know exactly what you mean as I’m only a few years behind you and supported the Blues for nearly 60 years. This is the must excited I can ever remember! Let’s enjoy the journey and as we always sing ‘we’ll be there at the end of the road!’ KRO!
