Blues may be leaving St. Andrew’s in five years, but they plan to transfer the spirit of the stadium with them.

In 2030, Tom Wagner and Knighthead hope the £1.2 billion Powerhouse will open.

It will be hard to say goodbye to Blues home ground since 1906, a place where memories – good and bad – have been made.

St. Andrew’s has an energising and galvanising feel about it on the big occasions, which can be a significant factor in motivating and helping the team, not least when it’s a raucous and intimidatory full house.
