Slim to zero for a one off event....
What i did notice however is how sparse the events calendar is for 2020:
What's On | Ricoh Arena | Wasps
There is an event on 25 January, a freebie motivational talk with some bloke who was in the Marines
if you told me his name would you have to kill me?
Zero. Daft question.

Why is it a daft question? Clearly we would generate more revenue and if both sides could put aside their differences for a time it might just go some way to healing the rift.

Why would we? Would cost a fortune, they wouldn't bring many to a cup game against a lower league side and I wouldn't be surprised if we struggled to get 10K of our own fans there.
Better off having it over there. Have a chance Brum fans will come out just to say they were at a game at St Andrews where they were the away side. Our usual crowd turns up. Could be a decent occasion.
If we had a half decent trust would be a perfect opportunity to make a statement about not being allowed to play in Cov. Joint protest with Birmingham given their issues, would probably get decent press attention.

If you hadn't noticed, we have effectively been evicted from our home due to the stadium owner's outrageous demand for an indemnity that no business on earth would/could agree to. Why on earth do you think the stadium owner would now change it's position for a one-off?

And how much would they charge for the privilege?

it's like divorcing your wife, but a few months later you let her sleep with you just for the night.

Sort of related, but today I purchased B Rovers home (14/1) and B Rovers away tickets (1/2) on the same day. Don't think I've ever done that before!

That’s not surprising. We’ve never played them on those dates before

No we don’t because then one of our best players would be gone. I’d rather hear stories like that than see our players move on to bigger clubs or “big” clubs like Barnsley (how far we’ve fallen)

More to the point, how are you doing that when Bristol Rovers tickets aren't on sale?

Possibly just booked as in shown interest to a supporters club I assume

I'm willing to step in and say it's not a completely daft question. In fact I think the first half should be held at St Andrews on the Saturday, the second half at Ricoh Arena on the Sunday......and if we need a replay, let's have it at a neutral ground like Wembley Stadium. Then if it goes to a penalty shootout, I think the OP Tonylinc should take first penalty for coming up with such a wonderful idea of ground swapping. PUSB!
