I heard it was the end of November and now January something to do with new sponsors for the stadium - Sounds like there is some foundation to the rumours - but could be codswallop who knows

Also heard that CCFC have employed a new groundsman for the Ricoh and that the new sponsors are Vodaphone - All could be BS but some of the sources have been correct in the past

Not the first time I’ve heard Vodafone are taking the naming rights.

They’ve just announced new digital ticketing software for home games. I’m sure the same technology could be transferred to the Ricoh so probably irrelevant but would we bother working on sorting a new ticket system for St Andrews if we were leaving in a couple of weeks?

Surely it’s just as much as having a QR Code reader installed? Does SA have that facility?

Well just to Chuck my information into the mix a member of the BCFC staff told me the word is around the staff is city will be at St. Andrews next season.

however they don’t really want us there next season but it will probably be the last season 20/21 we will be there.

That's not new info? Ccfc have said that will be the case unless something changes. I doubt ccfc would tell bcfc anything until there has been movement from wasps.

It is new info as that was latest coming out out at Andrews last week from the staff at Birmingham. I think your referring to we had the option of a second year. This new news I was told appears to be city are taking up that option.

I remember them days at Highfield Road when the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd we’re in town, and their supporters would take over the home ends. One year vs United in the 90s half of the West Terrace were Mancs.

I grabbed a few words with Boddy a couple of games back
he said that both sides would begin to feel the pinch from Christmas onwards ,and if anything that was the opportunity to do something

I know nothing beyond that except
We need to be in Coventry and Wasps need us at the Ricoh

The only thing in our favour since then is that we are moving forward on the pitch, while they are moving backwards, and their asset base has been valued down

so hopeful based on logic, but when has this ever followed logic

Yeah me too. I hoped it would be the trigger to get a deal sorted. My hopes aren’t up, it absolutely has to be a fair deal for us. Surely CCFC should be stern in negotiations to ensure the right deal.

Yeah I remember that, think we lost 1-0 and Quinn got sent off for throwing a punch at one of their players - I was about 10 or 11 and only remember one other City fan near us.

Although this works in our favour I hate that it's the case. It means they're making money from us which means we will constantly be under a glass ceiling while there.

Unless you know a billionaire that fancies gifting us a ground that’s always going to be the case. Wasps, CCC, or Sisu, pick your poison once we sold off our stake in ACL.

It was the case when it was sold to Wasps....

Up until then there was a fix.
