Insane odds for our promotion

There's not much competition though.

Ipswich 11/10 second favourites. 12th place 12 points and 21 goals behind us.

Leicester only 9/2. 11 points and 22 goals behind us. Should have a points deduction and have a poor squad.

New Stadium

Would we fill a new 62k stadium regularly? My thoughts inspired by below thread on twitter [x.com]
www.smallheathalliance.com

If anyone wants a laugh, or quite frankly have their mind blown, read this thread from Birmingham fans discussing whether they'll fill their 62,000 seater stadium.

Some funny comments include them having a 'similar' fan base to West Ham .

They would fill it most Saturdays in the Championship

It doesn't matter if they don't fill it because they can close the top tier and cover it with advertising. Or, give away fans 6000 tickets. 🫨

That they'll fill the stadium with Japanese tourists 🫠.

Why do they write stuff like this???

From Opta team power rankings - 71st currently - that's pretty impressive.

My favourite one is from another thread, and I quote

"We all know the similarities between our recent journey as a club and that of Manchester City in the early 2000’s"

They have won League 1, currently sit in the bottom half of The Championship and even before their takeover, Man City had 8 domestic honours to their name and were a much bigger club than Birmingham will ever be

Yea despite man city becoming a joke to some in regards to attendances , theyve always been pretty well supported and have the 8th highest all time average in england

Some really weird players go to the Bundesliga and do well. I like German football but I can't imagine there is much difference in quality between the bottom half of the Bundesliga and the top half of The Championship.

Wrexham (even if they've swapped a load of first teamers), look very average. Now Cardiff are winning, I'm hoping Parky brings on a load of subs that he was holding back, and they still get twatted.

I've been watching football for 50 years. I've seen the nature of the Championship and the unexpected results it throws up for many seasons ...

... yet here I am, settling like the average entitled Man Utd armchair fan, watching Wrexham and thinking "yeah these are awful we'll smash em on Friday"!

I've never been like that, amazing what a few weeks can do. I think I'd be completely insufferable if we'd had anything like the sustained success some of the big sides have experienced.

Same here. I'm even starting to hate myself with some of the posts I'm sharing with my non-Cov supporting mates. I'll be such an unsufferable prick if we actually do go up.

Dont worry, the PL will bring us all back down to earth with a huge bump! Unless it doesnt, and we all become even more insufferable!

I'm puzzled why people are so worried about Moore.
OK he scored 5 premier league goals a couple of seasons ago but he is historically a 1 in 4 scorer at this level.
And since his 20 goals for Cardiff in 20/21 his best season total is 7

He can be a handful at this level.

on the basis of last night he got into box and was getting his head on most things - think Bobby and Kitch can keep him occupied

Most big centre forwards can be a handful at this level, but I don't think we need to bring 3 CB's in too handle him, I say stick with the back four and get into them early doors aka Watford, 2-0 up early on will shut up the Wrexham fans
