How many tickets Birmingham City have sold for Stoke City on Saturday - It's impressive | OneFootball

Blues fans will continue to follow their club, this time to a big clash away at early strong-starters Stoke City

Birmingham City are once again set to sell out their away allocation in the Championship, as around 2,800 Blues fans will make the trip to the bet365 Stadium to watch their side take on Stoke City this coming weekend.

Chris Davies' side tasted defeat for the first time this season away at Leicester City last time out in league action, and won't have it easy as they look to bounce back.

Stoke will also be looking to return to winning ways after they lost for the first time in league action, after West Brom left Staffordshire with all three points, putting an end to the Potters' 100% winning run to begin the campaign.

Birmingham came into this season with the ambitions of achieving back-to-back promotions into the Premier League, whereas Stoke's start has a few dreaming of a top-flight return for the first time since the 2017/18 campaign.

It's set up to be a big game in front of a bumper crowd, and Blues fans have once again done their part in ensuring this.

Birmingham City once again sell out their away allocation as they gear up for Stoke City clash

Birmingham announced on August 29, a whole two weeks before the matchup, that the away end at the bet365 Stadium for their match against Stoke City had sold out.

This comes after their trips to Leicester saw a sold-out away end of 3,000, and their huge 7,033 allocation away at Blackburn Rovers also sold out, too.

It's incredible following from Blues fans, as many excited fans are forming disorderly queues to see the current vision play out under Chris Davies.

2,800 fans are set to travel to Stoke to watch their side in action, and with the Potters bringing in over 25,000 for their two league home games so far this season, you could possibly expect this one to bring in a couple of thousand more, such is the good-feeling of both sets of fans in this early stage of the season.

Birmingham City fans will be hoping for a better away performance at Stoke City than at Leicester City or Blackburn Rovers

Birmingham have carried their unbeaten home form from last season into the opening few months of the 2025/26 campaign, dominating in wins against Oxford United and Sheffield United in league and cup action, as well as in their opening day draw against Ipswich Town.

They haven't been able to replicate that dominance on their travels just yet, however.

Birmingham needed to score twice late to beat Blackburn, before failing to turn up to the races in their recent defeat to Leicester.

It's not wholly concerning just yet, but Blues fans who have travelled across the country so far to see their side will be wanting a little more from Birmingham in their upcoming away games, starting against Stoke.

It will be a difficult game against a Potters side that looks incredibly exciting under Mark Robins in his first full season in charge, but if Birmingham are to be serious about that second consecutive promotion, a better performance is needed than the one against their Midlands rivals.
