Is this BS? Does anyone know for sure? (1 Viewer)

I am involved heavily in kids football and help out with SBITC on Saturday mornings. I was having a cuppa with an old boy who has been around for centuries and this whipper snapper came up and was lacing his boots and said that if we go up next season, we will not be allowed to play at St Andrews. I can see the logic about not having us in Brum the same day as V, but can't see the logic of not being able to share with BCFC, surely games can be arranged for the opposite weekends like they are now? Has anyone else heard this? The whipper snapper was adamant.

No there’s no truth in it

oldfiver · Mar 8, 2020

We have a 3 year option to play in Brum

Wimbledon and Crystal Palace ground shared for years including at least one season when both were in the premier league from memory. So if that wasn’t an issue then not sure why it would be all of a sudden.

Doubtful EFL would have given permission for the 3 years without factoring in the possibility of promotion.

Asked Tynan Scope last night and we have an agreement for 3 years and we will be at St Andrews next season if nothing is sorted about the Ricoh.
End of.

Only thing i heard is that it could be a problem if we go up and villa go down. Due to Birmingham and Villa not being home on the same weekend as usual, but also us and villa being at 'home' the same day is something the EFL and West Mids Police are not keen on.

Doesn't matter anyway the egg chasers will come cap in hand when we win the league

We've played at St Andrews this season when Villa have also been at home so can't see why this would be an issue.

I said this but its more to do with it being a regular occurence. Possibly bollocks but just sharing

Who were we playing though?
Much bigger away following in the Championship and far more potential flash points.
The police moved the Ipswich game because villa were playing Leicester.

You’d have to think there is no way WM police would allow something like AVFC v Millwall and CCFC v Fulham to be on the same day ?

Nodding along with this sentence until I saw Fulham. About the most placid fans around.

I think it would be about transporting the fans to the same area

Fulham are one of them teams we keep missing. They could go up again this season and one of the other teams we haven’t played for ages Huddersfield still could get relegated

I've spoken to a few people who are trying to get their 92 league grounds watching City and Craven cottage is one that not many of them have managed.
Don't think we've played them since the early 80s. Supposed to be a nice ground and a good day out as well.

Other than a league cup tie in 82 the last league game was 1968

Or birmingham being relegated.

Our home games co-incide with Villa anyway, can’t see it being a problem in the Championship.

obviously if West Ham come down aswell, then we won’t play them when villa play milwall

why do these rumours keep surfacing? Wimbledon and Palace ground shared for years - we will be at St Andrews next season if we’re not at the Ricoh

Yeah true, I don't want to have to knock West ham and villa out on the same day.

I can’t see how this is an issue. Surely West Brom will play home games that clash with either Blues or villa anyway (more so when villa are not in the Prem, where relatively few fixtures are on a Saturday at 3pm)?
If we’re at St. Andrews, I guess it will be arranged so that our home games align with villa and West Brom (who look a very good bet for the Prem anyway) align with Blues?

Think we’re in the same rotation as wolves and villa

Sky_Blue_Dreamer · Mar 9, 2020

If there was a game they were worried about they'd move it to Sunday I'd have thought

Will Villa mind playing on a Sunday?

David O'Day · Mar 10, 2020

Did us, the villa and the dingles all play away in south east London on the same Saturday last season?

Wolves are on the main line through new street for fans from from south of Birmingham as well

Lets just hope it doesn't come to this and were back in Cov at the Ricoh

Can't be. He is older than me. He was having hits when I was a young teen.

Baggies were in London when we played Wimbledon away last season.
The joint sky blues/ baggie's rendition of several two tone hits would have caused far more distress to our fellow passengers than a mass brawl.

Just checked. You're right.
Day we played Charlton. Villa played Milwall and Wolves played Palace.
