No No and thrice no! We were not part of Birmingham when we were formed, so why would we want to steal their name?
I reply to a post about changing our name to include part of theirs, so i get accused of being obsessed with 'them'. Dear oh Dear, is it really ME that's obsessed...
So if we were ever to build a new stadium in the future, do you guys think it should only ever be built in Aston?A lot of clubs don't play where they were formed e.g. Small Heath play in Bordesley, Milwall play in Bermondsey, Everton play in Walton etc.

It wasn't until 1903 that Aston seperated from Birmingham and then it was only for eight years.
