Birmingham City targets record commercial revenue and fan perks as stadium redevelopment proceeds

Chief executive Jeremy Dale said Birmingham City will achieve its highest ever commercial revenue this season after securing a front‑of‑shirt deal with Coral and a partnership with Coca‑Cola. The club plans to reinvest all the new income into on‑pitch performance.

Ahead of the new campaign the club invited its Platinum Plus and Platinum away members to a fan‑park event at St Andrew’s, offering food, drink and a complimentary pint as a thank‑you to loyal travelling supporters.

Birmingham City is also advancing consultations on redeveloping the 48‑acre Wheels Park site into a 62,000‑seat stadium dubbed The Powerhouse. The proposal includes new transport links, a training centre, a women’s stadium, an arena and mixed‑use housing. Project leader Nick Smith is working closely with the Knighthead ownership group, while recent upgrades to St Andrew’s have added a coffee‑shop conversion of the Globe and Ball area.
