TEAM: Birmingham City
GROUND: St Andrews
FIRST VISIT: 2nd August 2008
FIRST MATCH: Birmingham City 1-1 Fulham – Pre Season Friendly
The great thing about today was I that had no idea I would be at this game .I was thinking of going to watch Chesterfield at Burton Albion.However I was looking around at todays friendlies and saw that Birmingham City were hosting Fulham.St Andrews is a ground I have never visited and with it being a very nice day I decided to go.I enjoyed the day and as usual took plenty of pictures of the ground from every possible angle.I was there two hours before kick off which was delayed till 3-15pm and had plenty of opportunity to go all around the ground.I really liked the ground,including the original main stand which has remained unchanged apart from seating being added below.As for the match well it was a lively affair that ended 1-1.
