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 sleeps and the country sleeps,
The living sleep for their time, the dead sleep for their time,
The old husband sleeps by his wife and the young husband sleeps by his wife;
And these tend inward to me, and I tend outward to them,
And such as it is to be of these more or less I am,
And of these one and all I weave the song of myself.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
