I'm not sure anyone would be very impressed if we were to block a new housing development in the current climate. Unless of course we sold Villa Park for the same. That would be quite an address wouldn't it? 1 Villa Park, Trinity Road, Birmingham....

If we're looking to move then surely the perfect location would be Erdington High Street. It might take a few quid to buy out all of the businesses, but it would be a great location. Two train stations, three if you want to walk a bit further to Chester Road. Easy access to the motorway network, and seeing as a lot of our support comes from North Birmingham, it would make getting to and from the match a piece of cake, and it would be a vast improvement on Erdington High Street as it is now. Sorted! (Only joking)

We could buy the Royal Mail Distribution centre... Though the Bartons would get a lot busier.

Sutton Park. Massive, loads of parking, some nice pubs as well. And still in Birmingham.

Could have built a new ground on the old longbridge site, but with the one million Birmingham fans that work there,I think it would have been a major problem

I think the solution is staring all the particle physicists in the face - A simple wormhole linking Trinity Road to New St Station.

All people would have to do is step in at either Trinity Road or New St to be instantaneously transported to the other location. Albert Einstein believed in them, so with NSWE's resources they'd be able to easily develop one. And it could be put away when not required.

Care would need to be taken that people passing through arrived at the destination at the same time. If people were able to pass through the New St end of the wormhole at 1.30pm, but arrived at 5.30pm you might think they'd missed the game (for a 3pm game). However, these people could simply return to New St via the wormhole to be back at 1.30pm. It might be an issue if these people then hightail it to Billy Hill's to lump a months wages of a first-goalscorer/Correct score double though. :)

About £20 should do it.

Seeing as they are mostly pound shops now.

It is sad, the hours spent with my Mom and Nan traipsing up and down that High St, a doughnut from Wimbush to keep me sweet.  We literally lived just off it on York Rd, the place had everything you needed.

Sorry mate, I'm a bit confused. Are you disputing the sadness of the demise of Erdington High St, or me claiming Longbridge is a shite part of Brum?
