      Tom Wagner knows exactly how to build a business and football in any form is a big business even bigger than the Stowmarket more money passes thorough this sport than any other big business. I'm so, prude to have him with us.

    I think that Tom needs to understand that people don't necessarily doubt his intentions, it's just that as Blues fans, we are so used to living with disappointment that it is really taking a while for all of this to soak in. We are living in a dream, and just waiting for the slap in the face to wake us up to our normal reality. These are unprecedented and extremely exciting times for the club, we have had to suffer, and live in the shadow of that other club up the road for far too long. But the winds of change are blowing, and the future is looking very bright indeed. Thank you Tom, and all of your team for letting us dare to dream big! KRO.

    I have supported BCFC for 60 years and in that time I have only had hope but never expectation. The prospect of a great infrastructure is great but we MUST get the infrastructure of the team sorted. Relegation is likely but a 'clear out' might be the best start..so TW fill the ground for Coventry and Norwich and get the 'kids for a quid'etc for these games. I am 68 and want to support a successful team and will be on that journey because it is in my blood.KRO

    Absolutely love the potential here. Being a bluenose I'm obviously excited about the fortunes of the club, but equally, this is such a fantastic thing for the city. I really hope the plans to host other sporting events come's off. We'll get people loving the Brummie accent 😂.
    But, to Tom Wagner - please, please, please, at some point in realising you amazing plans, can you spare a thought about investing into grass roots football. Especially the pitches. All through the youth leagues and into adult Sunday leagues, players have to endure ankle breaking mud baths which stifle any creativity. I know this is not a 'fix it all' thing, but please consider it, especially youth football.

    Nice they are thinking about the fan experience. My frustration at blues was trying to get home. I used to just walk in to the city centre and have a few medicinal pints of Guinness as you couldn't get a bus from the Coventry Road for an hour or so after the game. From what I've seen it's still a pain.

      This is about Birmingham as a CITY and a stadium and facilities for the city not some shitty little shed in a suburb of the city called aston. Nobody will care about vile park anymore when the City of Birmingham stadium and surrounding area is finished.
