No more than about 12-13k at the very most I'd suggest

those two hold 17,000, probably only about 9,000 home fans plus the away section

its less than that, the railway end is limited, and segregation.
it’s a terrible situation, they’re going to have to move season ticket holders and tell some season ticket holders they can’t go at all- refunds etc

The ground has been in a mess for a while. I remember Birmingham fans saying that the stadium will never hold 29k again unless serious improvements are made.
Even when we were there, the facilities were dreadful. It flooded most weeks. Toilets far too small. Concourse tiny.

It’s a sham - they’ve been selling them tickets for their stands knowing it might not be safe/able to fulfil it

Would be ironic if the favour was reciprocated, i.e. : Blues play here until their situation is resolved.

That's unfortunate that as soon as they can have fans back, they can't have fans back.
Surely should've sorted it though over lockdowns/no fans.

“Club can't afford the repairs as it is being sued by Birmingham City Council for highly recommending the stadium contractor be used to lay the Metro tracks, which have turned to jelly after 5 years”
they’ve got more season ticket holders than they have seats now, what a mess

At the moment they say it’s only for 2 games - much longer and they might have to look elsewhere

I have a suggestion - Blues & Wasps swop stadium’s.
10k of paying Wasps supporters is a good week! So Stans would be fine .
Secondly, the Arena pitch can be maintained for the beautiful game .... rather than the ploughed field the egg chasers create
Quite a few grounds in the vicinity, if they were willing.

They wouldn't play at Villa. Solihull far too small. Alexandra is being redeveloped for the Commonwealth games. Wasps would be creaming themselves over another bit of cash in their empty pockets.

Maybe they'll ask the Vile nicely, pretty sure we know what the answer would be, hahahahah

I can't see this only being for 2 games, I think the problems are far far more serious that need to be resolved.

Walsall?might be cheaper?

Isn’t Walsall’s ground smaller than St Andrews even at restricted capacity?
It's certainly close enough.

Don't they have to offer a percentage?
Been ongoing since December apparently.

Birmingham don’t own St. Andrews they sold it to a third party and now they rent it I’m sure I seen at £1.3million a season but might be wrong there.
