🔵 UPDATE – Applause for Tom 🔵 Please note the minute has changed. During Sunday’s game vs Leeds, we’re now asking all Bluenoses to rise in the 13th minute for a minute’s applause in support of our Chairman, Tom Wagner, as he continues his recovery. The number 13 is Tom’s lucky number - so let’s make it count. 👏💙 Followed by a loud and proud: “Tommy Wagner is a Blue!” Let’s make St. Andrew’s roar. One club. One voice. @BCFC @LUFC #BCFC #KRO #TommyWagnerIsABlue

BRING YOUR SCARVES FOR HOPPY🧣💙 Before kick-off tomorrow at St Andrew’s, following the club’s minute’s applause, we ask supporters to stay together for one final moment. 🧣 Bring & Raise your scarves 🎶 Sing “Keep Right On” - slow, loud and proud. This is our moment to honour Hoppy. . Not rushed. Not shouted. Just one voice, one club, one family. If you’re in the ground - be part of it. If you’re watching on - sing it with us. Let’s give Hoppy the send-off he deserves. Keep Right On, Hoppy. Always. 💙 @BCFC

Blues family, a gentle reminder for Saturday. During the match against Stoke City, there will be a minute’s applause in the 6th minute as we remember and celebrate the lift of Arthur. Arthur is, and always will be, part of our Birmingham City family - forever loved, forever remembered, forever Blue. We ask everyone inside St Andrew’s to join together in that moment, to show Arthur and his loved ones just how much he still means to this club and its people. Keep Right On up there. Sleep tight, Arthur - Forever Blue. 💙 @BCFC @BCFCFanUpdates #RIPArthur #BCFC #KRO #NSPCC
