St Andrew's in pictures - times Birmingham City's home looked very different
We take a look back through the archives of the Blues ground
Blues might soon be moving to a new home - but St Andrew's will always be a much-loved venue. With the recent announcement of Birmingham City FC buying Bordesley Green Wheels land, we have taken a look back through the years of St Andrew's.
Birmingham City Council has sold the 48-acre former Wheels Park at Bordesley Green to Birmingham City FC. We understand the club intends to create a multi sports super stadium on the site.
It's a massive step for the Championship football club, recently taken over by American owners, and triggers new speculation about the future of its historic home at St Andrew's.
A deal has been agreed as part of the struggling city council's mass sell-off of land and property to help fund redundancies and equal pay claims. Up to 3,000 jobs will be created as part of the masterplan for the site, according to council documents.
Below are some pictures of St Andrew's as you may not remember it...
