INFO: Since 2005 Moseley have played at Billesley Common, which is owned by Birmingham City Council, and they now have a long term lease on an area to the north of the site where the clubs facilities and 1st IX pitch are located.
In the autumn of 2009 plans were formally submitted to Birmingham
City Council for the construction of a 5000-seat stand along the east side of the pitch, allowing the overall capacity to be expanded to 7500. Planning approval was granted by councillors on 21 January 2010. However, with finance for the construction of this stand proving difficult to obtain in a difficult economic climate, an alternative plan for a more modest construction was progressed, in the form of a stand with 750 seats on the west side of the pitch, containing player facilities, bars and function room. This opened in April 2015. With the relocation of the 650-seat temporary stand to the east side of the ground, this now gives seated capacity of 1,300.
