Anyone heard anything about this?
I’ve heard from two people now (Birmingham fans) that this is on the cards.

Out of interest would it be easy to get tickets to a friendly like this? What was the story with Sheffield Wednesday? Could be a cheap flight for me and the boy to go to.
Yes it is 29,000. Have tickets for the Norwich game next weekend.Is their stadium back to full capacity yet? Sure one stand was closed fair recently?
Why not?Just why?
Heard exactly the sameJust to confirm this isn’t plucked out of the air (I don’t think). It’s came from someone who is usually spot on with Blues info. I have even been given a date - 27th July.
party time in Digbeth afterwards
They're mentioning Trevor Francis on their forum as the possible link to the game.In memory of Trevor Francis 1 year anniversary of his death?
Think we might get an invite to Villa Park too?
You're a bad man....party time in Digbeth afterwards
We would probably be in the Railway End at St Andrews which holds around 8,000 which was unaffected by the stand closures which were on the Kop and Tilton Stands both now repaired and re opened.Their lego land stadium wouldn't cope with our fans doing the bouncy. An absolute dump. And this has absolutely nothing to do with my family having allegiances to Villa...
...ok, maybe a little.
Was in the Ibrox Bar in Benidorm last month and was a large group of Villa fans in. Got talking to 1 and to my surprise he said Villa had a big Rangers support.Think we might get an invite to Villa Park too?
Eh?Just why?
I had to get a Sheffield based fan from on here get me and two mates tickets for the home end and met up with him at the FF sash bash as we were struggling to get any tickets at the time,luckily Sheffield Wednesday opened up a section of the stadium that they hadn't sold tickets for and told any of our fans with home end tickets to head there.Out of interest would it be easy to get tickets to a friendly like this?

I can confirm it is not any better, still an absolute shite hole.I had to get a Sheffield based fan from on here get me and two mates tickets for the home end and met up with him at the FF sash bash as we were struggling to get any tickets at the time,luckily Sheffield Wednesday opened up a section of the stadium that they hadn't sold tickets for and told any of our fans with home end tickets to head there.
I am based in London so would go to Birmingham if it does end up being the case that we have a friendly there although the one time I have been in Birmingham I wasn't too impressed with the city centre,seemed a bit of a dump but to be fair that was 10 years ago so maybe it's better now.
Yeah, their new American owners have spent quite a bit fixing it up. Although they're also looking at moving to a new bigger stadium by around 2030.Is their stadium back to full capacity yet? Sure one stand was closed fair recently?

I done Sheffield derby and Blackpool away. Blackpool was a bit hard for tickets and Sheffield and derby was a good few years ago before the demand for tickets went through the roof. Would like to think though tickets might not be too bad for this.Out of interest would it be easy to get tickets to a friendly like this? What was the story with Sheffield Wednesday?

I lived in Brum for quite a few years, and Villa sided with us and Birmingham them, the area around St Andrews had a large Irish population, and not a nice area to hang around for a drink, unless it’s changed there was a huge Irish club where supporters of the IRA frequented.Was in the Ibrox Bar in Benidorm last month and was a large group of Villa fans in.

Blackpools a shithole aswell and that was a great day out with not many police to be seen or if there was they weren’t doing muchWas wanting a game in England but Birmingham is an absolute shitehole.
I'll still go, but if this game does happen, I'd say there would be a large police presence.
Blackpool's a different kind of shitehole thoughBlackpools a shithole aswell and that was a great day out with not many police to be seen
The first wish in any friendly thread is for an away day down south, given this ticks that box I would say that would be the why. Giving the fans what they want feels like a safe bet, no?Just why?
Yes,I get that,it just seems a totally random pick.The first wish in any friendly thread is for an away day down south, given this ticks that box I would say that would be the why. Giving the fans what they want feels like a safe bet, no?
This is quite simply not true. I organise a regular meet up for Rangers games in Birmingham city centre and there’s no real ‘side’ for either team. Some Birmingham fans favour us, some them - the same with Villa. To a certain extent I’d say West Brom are probably the team who have a bigger % who favour us over them. But there’s definitely no firm allegiance to either side in Glasgow with any Birmingham side.I lived in Brum for quite a few years, and Villa sided with us and Birmingham them, the area around St Andrews had a large Irish population, and not a nice area to hang around for a drink, unless it’s changed there was a huge Irish club where supporters of the IRA frequented.
