Birmingham don’t own their 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.

Think that’s right yes, the issue with the stands is a long term problem and they’ve had 18 months without fans to sort it

Yes I think it was fairly recently ,so quite prudent to not have the obligation of fixing it up I suppose.

Except they probably didn't get a great price out of the purchase.

The owners have been fucking them for ages. This was highlighted last season and they've done fuck all.

Stadium sold from under them, Bellingham money pocketed and not even allowed to watch the team play now after already paying for tickets.

The ownership arrangement looks rather fishy to be honest

A ballot to see whether you can go to a game you’ve paid for - nice

I think a lot of grounds are built on earth banks like that. Charlton comes to mind as the ground is, unsurprisingly, built in a valley.

My understanding was that the problems were related to the roof.

From what was mentioned at the back end of last year

However, the full extent of the reparatory work cannot be seen until the engineers have access to those areas underneath the stands that have been affected. And that means chopping into the concrete and dealing with the rust before sealing up the holes in the seating afterwards.

Xuandong Ren said: “It had something to do with the structure work when the stadium was first built. Some of the steelwork had a level of corrosion. We need to address those problems.

The Tilton Road end would be closed completely and the lower section of the Kop stand would be declared a no-go zone too until the council had been reassured that the ground was fit to host professional football.

Birmingham City face paying £1million before fans can fully return to St Andrews
