WP:CSD#G3 blatant hoax, and author indef-blocked. In view of other hoax articles and complete lack of confirmation, there is no need for this to drag on. JohnCD (talk) 19:57, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply

Another hoax article from an editor with previous for creating hoax articles on soccer. There is no such club as Birmingham Boys AFC, no former club called West Midlands AFC and no stadium as BT Stadium of Birmingham City (were a youth team to be based in a 71,000 seat stadium that at least would be newsworthy) Much of the article is cut and pasted from
Birmingham City and as such is referenced. The only other reference given on this page - www.bbfc.com is a non existent website and the url given in the infobox - www.bbfc.co.uk is actually the website of the British Board of Film Classification
.
