Yeah that’s a valid point, a quick thanks, now let’s play football. My grievance is more with the flags/banners, all seems a bit dramatic. It’s gotta be one or the other though, put both of these together and we may as well Lay out a red carpet for the Birmingham team and put a buffet spread on the halfway line. If they’re going with the announcement (better of the two options), they surely can’t go with the flag(s) as well

God forbid that the atmosphere might be a bit more congenial. I'm all for a banner, tannoy announcement, red carpet, half-time buffet (as long as everyone's allowed on the pitch for the bun fight), as long as the boys in Sky Blue give their all once they cross the white line and the whistle goes.

Yeah just get the announcer to say thanks for hospitality, round of applause for Birmingham City and on with 2 footing their players.

Doesn’t the announcer normally welcome the away fans anyway? Just add it in there, quick round of applause and then get on with the match.

Don’t think it needs more than that, wouldn’t object to some joint SOTV chants!

As I’ve said in my previous posts, I’m all for a positive atmosphere. Just don’t see the need to go mad with it all. After all, we pay them rent to be there

I actually think that's a better idea than most suggested.
Show gratitude before the game then let hostilities commence for 90 minutes.

I agree. Pre-match message which we can give a quick round of applause with, then back to the game and 'bantz'. I think there'll be a lot of good natured back and forth during the game and I just hope the Stone Island troglodytes don't create any aggro.

Greame's idea of an announcement is better than all this flags and banners cheesy bollocks. He's a good bloke. Used to sit behind me in the telegraph stand for years with his dad pre sixfields days.

Depends what it includes. £800K including match days costs, hospitality, car park etc isn’t too bad. £800K and then pay for everything else on top is very different.

Always the problem when talking about stadium rents, it’s hardly ever comparing like with like.

People keep going on about it but how much do they make?
Is it actually a lot off 6000 fans with maybe 15-20% buying anything.

Not arguing it's a good thing but surely cant be a lot.
I buy a coffee every game for £2.50

I buy a pint before the game and a pint at half time but they probably make more from your cup of coffee.

Not for me, I can't imagine that if Birmingham fans were asked, they would have agreed to it. We are paying to play there and a decent amount, they aren't doing it out the goodness of their hearts.

That being said I'm all for an announcement and maybe a round of applause. Hopefully there is a jovial side to the whole day.
