  • Are Birmingham City finally shaking off the slumber and rising again? Season ticket sales are exploding, with Blues fans flooding back to St Andrew's‪@KnightheadPark‬ with a wave of renewed passion. In this podcast we discuss the reasons why Blues fans are so optimistic about their first season in EFL League One for over 30 years after relegation from the EFL Championship last season.
    We consider the staggering rise in season ticket sales and what it means for the club's future. We'll explore the reasons behind this surge in fan support and its potential impact on the team's performance on the pitch.

    Got my son and I our first ever season tickets for the upcoming season purely based on the fact the first thing he said as we walked out the ground after the Norwich game and relegation was…” Can we get season tickets for next season Dad?”.
    When your 14 year old son shows that level of commitment despite relegation you just know you’ve got to step up.
    Here’s to a successful season and some great Dad and Lad memories for me and my son.

    'When you are a manager there is going to be a lot of different opinions coming at you from all different angles and it’s very easy to lose sight and not quite grasp what you are trying to do, and it’s very hard to please everyone, but what Ange has done is be crystal clear on what he wants the team to look like and what kind of football we want to play.”
    Chris Davies on Ange.
    Blues fans are smart. They know this Spurs inspired attacking mentality will be exciting!.Blues will now have an identity! Davies has learnt directly from Ange. This is a great start Blues! All the best from Cov!

    Interesting video. I do think BCFC fans need to be cautious heading into the season, it’s clear that you both think you’re bouncing back up straight away with no troubles at all but previous history shows that it rarely happens that easily.
    Also, what are your thoughts on your owners trying schedule your game with Wrexham in the US? I think it’s just wrong and is a punch in the face to all of your fans.

    • @SmallHeathAllianceFC
      @SmallHeathAllianceFC  Місяць тому +3

      Thank you for your comment. We are positive about the season ahead that is true but we are also realistic and know that League One will be tough next season. We are enjoying having decent owners for the first time in many years and despite relegation there is so much to look forward to for the future. We have had some rough times over recent years and we are used to let downs and knock backs so believe me when I say that we are not expecting an easy ride next season in League One.
      I'm not a fan of trying to schedule matches overseas for any club to be honest least of all our own and its no big surprise that the EFL had knocked back the idea. I doubt it would happen anyway as the EFL are not exactly the NFL and have limited global pulling power. KRO and kind regards (Gary)
