Birmingham could possibly be relegated, so the clubs around the bottom could complain to the league if we played kids

Wouldn't happen though so not really anything to be concerned with.

The ‘kids’ that are being touted for a start are squad members, aren’t they and there are players as young or younger getting game time for other clubs in our division. There’d be no problem whatsoever playing Ashford, J.Colwill etc, in fact Birmingham may complain that they’re ‘unfairly’ better than the deadwood they’ve replaced.

Several of our youth players have already appeared in a victory over Birmingham this season, including Ashford

This quote implies that the youngsters could put a result at risk. That can’t be the case surely given the useless individuals they would replace?

Who knows, they haven't played first team football yet, so we don't know how they will react or perform. I do hope that they're given a decent chance though.

We are going nowhere, think I’d rather see the predictable loss, Stoke win and Swansea start to squirm…..

I was just going to post something along the same lines. If I were Joel Colwill or Cian Ashford, I'd be insulted by the suggestion that my inclusion would substantially weaken the City teams that took the field against Millwall, Birmingham, Leicester, Leeds, Plymouth, Norwich, Blackburn, Huddersfield, Swansea, Sunderland etc. etc.

Birmingham's new stadium getting closer:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68768084

Birmingham City have moved a step closer to a new stadium after their owners completed the purchase of land to the east of the city - less than a mile from their St Andrew's home.

Knighthead Capital Management's deal to buy the 48-acre, former Birmingham Wheels site on Bordesley Park will mean Blues leaving St Andrew's.

But there is not yet any timescale on when the club will move.

-

Talks over the sale have been ongoing for weeks, involving US-based club chairman Tom Wagner, Blues chief executive Garry Cook and the council's lead commissioner Max Caller, with West Midlands Mayor Andy Street acting as a mediator.

A government grant of about £17m was secured to help clean up the site through the levelling-up fund - and work to clear the site has already started as a result of the funding.

The city council will inject a further £1.9m as a condition of receiving the money.

The club say the site will have "a new multi-use stadium, high-performance training facilities and other mixed-use real estate development including a range of entertainment options".

That's what I thought. It's sod all to do with the football club by the looks of it, just a great big vanity project for someone to leave his 'legacy'..

To be fair, this seems to be about more than a new ground. Looks they will be having the new stadium, new training facilities and academy all in one place

Some of the work Birmingham were doing to St Andrews was because they found asbestos in the stands, I can see why you'd think about moving away

Bulut has got his excuses in early "We have seen their form, of course, but I believe they're better than what their league position shows," Erol began. "I believe they're underrated and they need points.

Apparently he says we are going for them from the word go tomorrow. If I had tea in my mouth it would have covered the walls.
