Totally agree once those fucking cloggers get on it its knackered and akin to playing on a ploughed field although hopefully the crowds would increase
Totally agree once those fucking cloggers get on it its knackered and akin to playing on a ploughed field although hopefully the crowds would increaseWhilst I would like to return to the Ricoh, (well Coventry to be fair), the pitch is no good. We played better football at Northampton and we seem to be doing alright at St Andrews. It's a dilemma
Does anyone know if the ten year extension is signed on the same terms or not.
There's got to be some reason for the bond price to be in constant free fall, and falling much more rapidly than usual recently.
That’s if Birmingham want us there long term something I’m not convinced about.
Most bond prices have fallen because of brexit uncertainty. The price is irrelevant to day to day wasp operations
The only time we had any real increase was the Armstrong season.
Even when we were doing well in League 2, we couldn't muster 15k for a league game. We couldn't even manage a good crowd for the play off first leg.
If we were to get back to the Ricoh the first game would be around 13k.
However, I do genuinely believe in the championship our crowds would regularly hit 20k. The away followings in that division are huge. The vast majority take over 1500 a week and there are about 10 clubs who could sell 5000 at the Ricoh. Plus, playing the likes of Leeds as well as local games against Brum and Forest would feel like cup finals compared to Forest Green and Fleetwood we have become used to.
If we were to return it would need to be on our own terms with access to all revenue, including future stadium sponsorship rights. If we were back in the Championship they’d be potential for increased revenue through sponsorship which we should have the majority of.
At the moment we’d have a glass ceiling over us imposed by them.
Absolutely, we need to make sure we are least equals if we were to go back. I’d rather have nothing to do with them whatsoever though.Championship football would draw more than Premiership egg chasing for sure. Definitely in their interests to keep us under their thumb lest they become a smaller 'attraction'

Yeah let’s stay at St Andrews this season, in league 1 where most teams don’t play good football, get promoted, then get back to the shit pitch Ricoh for the championship, where other clubs will undoubtedly be able to play football equally well or better than us.The biggest issue as far as I am concerned is the playing surface. We are playing a type of football well above normal league 1 norms. It won’t always work when we come up against destroyer teams but we have a much better chance on a decent surface. In any return to The Ricoh this has to be high on the negotiating agenda. Wonder how much MR would be consulted
I'm saying 8000 for next game Blackpool
I haven't seen them or the mad hattersWill Blackpool bring many or will they boycott to support the trust. Are the mad haters attending Birmingham as I haven’t seen them in every picture taken like normal.
They’ll be there when we have a televised game don’t you worry.I haven't seen them or the mad hatters
20k ? At at Andrews ? You can halve that and then take a bit more off.The fact is the gates could be over 20k if the good season continues and that’s a hell of a lot of money and income for everybody including ccfc. The casino for example must be dead on a Saturday afternoon when it could be rammed with hundreds of punters.
I have no idea on any rumours but I think there is a lot of truth in the fact that this situation can’t continue. Something has to give and fairly soon.

Another pop at our fans nice oneThey’ll be there when we have a televised game don’t you worry.

Of course, had we stayed at the Ricoh things on the pitch may have been equally as positive.I think it's pretty clear we are better off without the Ricoh.
Things have looked up on-the-pitch-wise since we went to St Andrews.
We should stay where we bloody well are.
Would be a struggle as there is no pitchOf course, had we stayed at the Ricoh things on the pitch may have been equally as positive.
No he died half way through last season.Is one of them still advising Dale?
If we get promoted and wasps still don’t give up their stance then it means they’re either stupid or flowing in riches.Thing is if we get promoted we won't be able to play in Birmingham I believe it is in the FL rules.
Then again we could move to Villa.
Same could be said about sisu?If we get promoted and wasps still don’t give up their stance then it means they’re either stupid or flowing in riches.
Same could be said about sisu?
Which stance is it that sisu can give up right now that would get us back to the Ricoh?Same could be said about sisu?
Sign everything over to Hoffman and the councilWhich stance is it that sisu can give up right now that would get us back to the Ricoh?
So where do we go then ?No as they can’t sign the deal that’s on offer. The only one that could change stance is wasps
I do not think they will and I see it very unlikely we will return
Not sure how much truth is in this but heard that the casino are not happy about losing the income from CCFC matches that they
are refusing to pay the rent deal to wasps plus the hotel group are doing the same.
This could all be pie in the sky stuff but what if this is true.
That would be like me letting my daughter going on holiday with the McCannsSign everything over to Hoffman and the council
What can SISU do?Same could be said about sisu?
