The club's enormous project for a new stadium, “world-class” training centre, women’s stadium, arena and a mixed-use development will drastically change part of the city.

Blues announced the purchase of a vacant site in east Birmingham, formerly known as Birmingham Wheels, from the city council last year and have since been working with both local and national politicians.

At the club's most recent Open House event, fans were given further insight into the club's major plans and their desire to create a “global destination of sport, media and entertainment”.

But bosses were also asked about the process to get planning approval for Blues' ambitious project.
