Birmingham City is back in the Premier League for the 2009-10 season.

But this may be the cause of mixed emotions for all associated with the Blues, including the supporters – Bluenoses.

There should be pride because Birmingham earned an automatic promotion by finishing second in the Football League Championship in 2008-09.

However, there also may be a sense of foreboding. That’s because the Premier is such a strong league. And when the Blues have been in the top flight, they have never consistently finished in the top half of the table.

Through 2008-09, Birmingham has spent just over half of its seasons in the Football League — 55 of 106 — in the top flight. In addition to 50 in the old First Division, they have been in the Premier for only five of 17 since it was formed for 1992-93.

Birmingham’s return to the Premier means there will be at least two Birmingham Derby games in 2009-10.

Birmingham trails in the series against Aston Villa, 32-40. There have been 26 draws.

The start occurred in 1875 when Holy Church in the Bordesley Green District of Birmingham adding a football side to cricket in its sports program.

The side was known as Small Heath Alliance until becoming Birmingham City Football Club in 1905.

The Birmingham Derby began on 27 September 1879 — a 1-0 win for Small Heath Alliance over visiting Aston Villa.

Small Heath Alliance was a founding member of the Football League’s Second Division. After winning the championship in the first season – 1892-93, a second-place finish in 1893-94 earned the side its first promotion to the First Division.

Birmingham’s lone piece of major domestic silverware is the 1963 League Cup. The Blues defeated Aston Villa in the home-and-home series, 3-1, on aggregate.

Birmingham made its second and to date final appearance in the League Cup championship game in 2001, falling 2-1 to Liverpool.

Birmingham has appeared twice in the FA Cup championship game, losing 3-1 to West Bromwich Albion in 1931 and Manchester City in 1956.

Birmingham City Stadium.

St. Andrew’s Stadium has been the Blues’ home for more than a century. It opened on 26 December 1906 — a 0-0 First Division draw with Middlesbrough.

Legend has it that gypsies were evicted from the land in order to build the stadium. Thus, they put a 100-year curse on the land. If the legend is true, the curse has expired.

Initially, St. Andrew’s accommodated 75,000 spectators in a large grandstand and a large uncovered terrace.

St. Andrew’s was renovated and downsized to an all-seat stadium in the 1990s. Now, the seating capacity is just over 30,000.
