The difference is, Battersea is on prime land near Chelsea and the Thames. The structure was already built and thousands of people were ready to spend £1.5m on a two bed flat.

Wagner keeps talking about how the midlands is growing and yet Manchester is flying miles ahead of Birmingham.

In fairness the midlands does need a ‘big’ multi use stadium, so this may be it.

5 years they reckon - I think there will be a fair few design changes before it starts getting built. Less chimneys, not as big, smaller capacity.

Be like Cardiff City playing at the Millennium Stadium.

They are trying to position themselves as the dominant force of the West Midlands but its all just words, nothing about that club has ever justified the arrogance. The majority of the City supports Villa and for a second city team carrying the name of the city their historical support and achievements are garbage.

Definitely not. Even with the mega billions, those chimneys will cost an absolute fortune.

It will definitely be the 60,000 though and it will definitely be filled with premier League tourists.

Blues won't be in the Premier League if they keep pissing their funds away on the likes of Kyogo.

Sure, they’ll build a new stadium, certainly not one that’s 60k. The design concept looks like something out of a cartoon…

Their owners are charging 11% interest on money they loan the club, building a new stadium would cripple Birmingham City.

They’re not putting a spade in the ground unless they get promoted to Prem.

Thing is the whole thing is so American that they'll care more about getting some NFL in there, in which case it has to be 60k i think. But i agree, if they don't get promoted this does not move forward.

But...they'll have to be in the PL to get the tourists. Also, who is repaying the investors for this?

I'd be genuinely worried if I was a blues supporter.
Building a 62k capacity ground for a team that doesn't get 30k seems delusional to me.

Why not build something 35-40k that's scalable and look at using money for other stuff like developing the playing side?

It's got white elephant written all over it.

It's a planned 62,000 stadium and a Blues fan on their forum has asked....

Just wondering if the chimneys will hinder expansion?

You couldn't make it up.

Normally design concepts look exciting. That looks like a Peaky Blinders theme park. It just looks utterly embarrassing bit like Man Ure's tent spires. Good news is that Blue nose will go bust building that and they will also wind up Villa who will try and invest and build something bigger to compete and just to say they have the bigger stadium. Funny bunch.
