eric i 620 Posted October 11, 2023 17 minutes ago, Pinny said: Birmingham stepping up IMO will only work if the club is renamed to something to accommodate a Wolves influence. Otherwise forget it. Remember the year they went EL and made the final of the play offs? There crowds that year were still below a 1000 every week and that was ten years ago. If the likes of CVS and Adams etc join Birmingham it could work. Maybe. Its only 18 miles according to a quick Google search. However, if Birmingham as they are move up then unless a multi millionaire is bank rolling the club, it won't be a success. IMO of course. I agree they should pack the team with ex wolves riders and maybe rebrand as the Birmingham midlanders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then in that case, i reckon theres a good chance a Wolves/Brum merger could work. But could require a complete re brand of Birmingham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They might get a handful from Wolves, if they are banking on this making them pay their way at a higher level I've a feeling they may be disappointed.
