Securing St Andrews

One of the frequent questions I see amidst this current period of woe for Birmingham City asks if the current board can sell St Andrews. The ground, which has been home to Blues since Boxing Day 1906 is one of the few remaining assets that the club can call as its own and I think it’s understandable that fans are worried it could be sold.

Whilst Blues have been trying to get the points on the pitch Peter Pannu is (theoretically anyway) in discussions with interested parties for the sale of BCFC. It’s a weird situation at the moment as Blues are now in the final throes of the Carson Yeung tenure and I wanted to touch upon the whole “pro/anti-board” debate that cropped up in the comments section on this site this week.

What Can We Do?

One of the common themes of the comments on recent posts about the club has been about what can disaffected fans do to show their dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs at Blues. Whilst I’m not (and would never profess to be) a spokesperson for the fans, I’d like to offer my opinions.
