BIRMINGHAM CITY
St Andrew’s (capacity 30,016)
Birmingham City moved from their Muntz Street ground to St Andrew’s in 1906 after outgrowing their original home. The stadium originally consisted of one covered main stand and open terraces on the other sides, with an estimated capacity of 75,000 spectators.
The stadium was extensively damaged during the Second World War, which prompted the club to rebuild St Andrew’s, and further improvements were made throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s. The stadium then underwent major redevelopment in the 1990’s, with two all-seater stands replacing the old Kop and Tilton Road Terraces.
Away fans visiting St Andrew’s are located in the lower tier on one side of the Gil Merrick Stand, with an allocation of around 3,000 which can be increased to 4,500 depending on demand.

The closest railway station to St Andrew’s is Bordesley, which is around a ten minute walk from the stadium. However, this station is only served by Birmingham Moor Street and Birmingham Snow Hill, whereas the majority of away fans will arrive into Birmingham New Street.
Birmingham New Street is over 2 miles away from St Andrew’s, so you may wish to take a taxi, which will cost you around £8. However, if you do wish to walk, then upon leaving the concourse you need to follow the signs for Moor Street and Bullring. When you exit the building, cross the road to where the large Debenhams store is and turn right. At the end of the block, you’ll come to a door with a sign pointing downwards towards Bull Ring Markets. Go down the stairs and turn left and go along that road with Debenhams now on your left. You’ll pass a church on your left and some markets on your right.
Take a right onto Moat Lane, and follow this until you reach the traffic lights where you should take a right on to Digbeth High Street. You’ll then pass Birmingham Coach Station on your right, then use the pedestrian crossing to cross the carriageway. Continue up the High Street until you reach a fork in the road where you should bear left underneath a railway bridge. Continue on this road, crossing a roundabout, and you’ll find the away section further up on your left.
