Birmingham City
In January 2007, Birmingham City F.C. needed to re-lay their football pitch. Having purchased the spare pitch from the new Wembley Stadium for £120,000, the club consulted various experts on horticulture, as well as Kettley on the projected weather for that week.

Famous quotes containing the word city:
“The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
