Visiting WAYNE ROONEY's Struggling BIRMINGHAM CITY ⚽️ St. Andrew's Stadium Tour

  • I was hoping to watch Birmingham City Vs Bristol City this evening but I'm not gonna get chance, however I thought I'd head up to St. Andrews football stadium for an outside tour before Wayne Rooney inevitably gets the sack 🙈 There's an old "myth" that when the St. Andrews football ground was built in 1906, they had to move on a group of Gypsies who'd settled on the land... In response these people apparently put a 100 year CURSE on Birmingham City Football Club - which if true would have ended in 2006 and now in 2023/24 it looks as though Rooney has brought another curse of his own onto the Blues... 😬 LIKE the video & SUBSCRIBE for more Stadium Tours and Matchday Vlogs! ⚽️🏝️

    As a person who works in the midlands i know villa fans wolves fans wba fan's and the poor Birmingham fans, I don't understand why you got rid of a manager who was doing a half decent job and bring in a manager who can't manage it's not his fault it's your owners fault

    Yes it is the main stand it’s held it’s name since it was built
    It’s not Jill Merrick it’s pronounced Gill (as in a fish gill) Gill Merrick was a great goal keeper for the blues back in the day.
    Good honest video though 😊

    Gill Merrick stand is the railway stand, that was it's original name.
    The main stand is that cow shed...where I sat in complete boredom tonight against Bristol city...
    Thanks for the vid 😊

    Good video,l had to smile when you said that you were going to walk around the ground,-which as you found out is almost impossible,l sit in the old Main stand ,in the old days that was the showpiece stand,as the rest of the ground was all terracing,-My Dad was actually in that record attendance of 76,000 plus in 1939,just before war broke out.-our curse carries on,under Rooney its not working,and the fans aren,t happy,-can the board let it continue-we will see,all the best,KRO,,

      Hi Brian, thanks for watching 👍🏾 haha yes mission impossible getting around the ground 😁 it’s mad how big the attendances were back in the day when the stands themselves were smaller. Surprised there weren’t more disasters prior to Hillsborough 😕

    Had my first visit to St Andrews last night and loved it. Coincidence you chose that day to put this up. Enjoyed the tour - I think you know its a hard "G" for Gil. I sat in the Main Stand and had a cracking evening chatting with two lifelong Bluenoses Phil & Malcolm who kept me entertained even if the match was below par.

    My dad grew up on St Andrews road in the late 30s and 40s. It was all back to back housing back then. Shared outdoor toilets and courtyards. It sounded rough.

    Main stand and Gill Merrick not Jill Merrick as you keep calling it 😂😂 are different stands. Tilton behind the goal so is the Gill Merrick down the other end. Staying in the Royal george paddy's weekend for the Watford game.Not a ground for walking around I'm afraid only really the Kop is mainly visible without going through houses

      Dewagod.... You're clearly someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.
      Previous manager John Eustace was unlucky if Hogan hadn't missed sitters and a penalty, and Juke missed 3 games suspended, we would have been 3rd. JE would have got about 75 points at the end of the season and a play-off place. Also he didn't leave he was sacked after winning his last 2 games. Work that one out? KRO
