Not sure about that. Discussions have been ongoing for months. There will have been compromise on both sides I'm sure over that time.

So what would enhance the match day experience for fans and what price should season/match day tickets be ?
I’d like to see a fanzone bar with dhillons or byatts beers on offer
personally I’d set match day tickets between £18 and 25, season tickets between £250/400

Primacy must be a red herring given CCFC existing circumstancesLooks good so far but would rather news had broken as a done deal. Hopefully the announcement will be tomorrow.
Primacy is a red herring. Yes the EFL have a regulation stating the club should have primacy but they also include in their regulations sections saying that they can use their discretion. Yes they could object. They are not going to object if CCFC have to work around the Wasps fixtures which are often on a Sunday and no midweek games in any case. They just want the whole matter to go away. If the EFL blocked it you can imagine the next step - legal action
Sky are not going to worry about it they will just show a different match if they cant fit CCFC in. Probably not going to be much of a problem in any case.
standing back from it, if you are non partisan you would expect owners to put themselves first in the use of their asset. Obviously we are not partisan and CCFC comes first
For this to work then it requires a will to make it do so, toning egos down and acting as grown ups by both sides. It is in both sides benefit for there to be a good working relationship
In terms of signage, fans areas etc - i would expect that is all available at a price. If CCFC want it they will need to make a case and pay for it, Wasps need to be open to the idea and not milk it. There seem to be better relationships between the stadium management and operational management of CCFC
Am i wrong in thinking that the EU case had been put to one side in the last negotiations? Isn't it something Pete & Mark were pushing Wasps on? again irrelevant really as it seems for this deal it has been done and that's the deal that matters
Will be interesting to see the progress made on the Uni stadium in say the next 12 to 18 months. Can't help thinking there wont be much for all sorts of "reasons"
Overall its a feel good day for nearly all of us

I've quite enjoyed match days at Birmingham to be fair *ducks from the incoming rocks* apart from what I can only imagine are the toilets flooding the place. It's a better day out on the beer.
We've been bitten too many times with these announcements, I'm not taking them seriously until documents have been signed. If by some miracle this isn't just another game by SISU & Wasps, I hope half the ground is closed. Pack us together and get some atmosphere in there.
NOPM until we're back in home.... in Birmingham... *ducks*

Arent they currently building a new sports bar where Wasps shop was? Use that.
I imagine the casino are pissed off with a new bar right above them.

A Championship club with half its ground closed? We’d look tinpot.

True but what do you think attendances will be? I wouldn't be bothered if we looked tinpot, if it resulted in a better match day experience.

My son and I won that at an evening game v Ipswich, I scored from the spot, he did from 18yds and missed from 35 yds (he was only 11at the time) we got £50 and a signed ball which I still have.

You would hope 20k+ for the return to the Ricoh game if not a full house. Will be immense. Of course dependent on Covid restrictions being completely lifted by next season.

Not like being at the Ricoh will mean we'll suddenly be awash with cash, either. It'll just mean we lose less of it!

This is something I'd like to use the relationship we've built with the club for (and Wasps for that matter). Improving the match day experience is key to increasing attendances (along with the product on the pitch obviously).

That curry goes down well after freezing your nuts off all afternoon in January

Sky Blue Crew but as times have changed they might need to let boys do it as well.
Plus get text a sub in but it won’t work before the 70th minute

It would be nice if they could expand the JSB before match experience, it is good but looks like it lacks funds could do with Xbox stuff and more things like taking penalties against the youth team goalie but it would need more space maybe in the hall.

If true be interesting to see where it is. Assume Wasps club shop is closing as the new sports bar is going there. Wasn't the ticket office also in the shop?
Would make sense for a shared ticket office to go between the two club shops but where is there space for that?

Bobby Bridge will put out a PR piece in next few days once Uncle Derek has told him what to say.
Can guarantee it will be along the lines of:
"Extended an olive branch, act of goodwill to the people of Coventry etc"
Rather than the facts:
"We're up shit creek financially, the football club are much bigger than us & bring much more to the stadium so we desperately needed them back"

The planning shows the sports bar taking up the full space of the shop. the ticket office was what off to the right of the shop. you would think thing would also go.
2 small ticket windows would not be enough. No idea where else you could put a shop and ticket office. Unless you use the other side. But for football thats the away end.

Maybe both can be true a bit. No professional sports organisation will be coming through this with a profit

The new sports bar doesn't look very big or state of the art
