What is recorded here

St. Andrew's is recorded as a named stadium in Birmingham. It is mapped for football. The point is the centre supplied by the public map.

St Andrew's opened in 1906 as Birmingham City Football Club's larger home. Crowds of more than 60,000, wartime bomb damage, a fatal wall collapse in the 1980s and near-total rebuilding in the 1990s make the ground a record of changing football crowds and safety.

What this place is

St Andrew's is a football stadium in Bordesley, with four stands around the pitch and the changing, work and meeting rooms needed by a long-established city club.

People and events

Supporters set the ground's record at a 1939 cup match; wartime fire crews used a stand, a boy died when a wall collapsed during disorder, and Coventry City later shared the stadium.

How it was used

It has mainly held Birmingham City matches, but also youth internationals, cup semi-finals, rugby, boxing, concerts and emergency wartime work.

What survives

The 1906 site and pitch remain, but bomb and fire damage removed the first main stand and three sides were fully rebuilt as seated stands during the 1990s.

Why it mattered

St Andrew's mattered because one ground shows the rise of mass football, wartime city danger and the later safety changes forced on English stadiums.
