00:06 as the club aims to build a new stadium. According to the BBC, the club's new American owners,
00:11 Knighthead Capital Management, are set to purchase the Birmingham Wheels site on Bordesley
00:16 Park. Birmingham City Council documents show that the land is in process of being sold
00:22 off to an unnamed bidder, which is believed to be Blues. The proposed site is just over

00:33 Park where a former motor racing site, Go Kart Track, was located on the land. A City
00:39 Council spokesperson couldn't confirm who the buyer was at this stage but said the proposed
