Should we rename the club to include Birmingham in our name?

[Dave Cooper please]

Birmingham St George's

Which part of Brum were they based in?

I think they were Erdington based but don't quote me on it.

With respect, that's the first time I've heard that one and much more knowledgable historians than I have never mentioned it.

Spoke to my Dad he can't remember full details as it was so long ago.
He seems to remember Birmingham wanting a team to carry the name of the City.
Villa, who were the biggest team with the best history, and many supporters said that it should be them, but it was offered to Small Heath, due to their location, instead. So there was no 'application process' sorry.
Villa would have taken the full Birmingham City title straight away, where as Small Heath took 40 years to eventually change!!
Lucky us eh?

and I have always wondered why there is no London (City) FC

Despite having more than its share of tricky wide men, the City of London is lacking a football club.

[Dante Lavelli]

Wow.  Four people have said yes.

Aston was there long long before name Birmingham was invented. Just as everbody knows where Boca Juniors and River Plate  come from the world  has heard of and knows Aston Villa.
Great name great club all it needs is a great team.

It certainly was lucky. I mean, imagine the complications there would have been carrying the citys name when we sell off Villa Park to move to a purpose built stadium at Bodymoor Heath on a nice big out of town retail park with convenient connections to M42. We will be in Warwickshire then not Birmingham.
