What are your expectations before the end of the transfer window and beyond ?

It’s just amazing news - hopefully they can get 2-3 concerts each summer , the cost possibly of laying a new pitch after the concerts will be small compared to the revenue they would bring. The exhibition hall is a good size for small to medium sized events and of course is perfectly positioned right slap bang in the middle of the country. There will be some aggressive selling of the facilities coming up for certainMoney flowing into the Club from all over. rent from hotel and casino, hire of all the exhibition halls, every day there seems to be some show or other on, F+B, carparking from everything on, Shows and gigs throughout the year = loads a money. Naming rights and branding sponsors, the list goes on.

Our commercial fortunes have completely changed over night. It’s a monumental moment.
We were getting a small part of match day revenue with a cut going to Frasers, we were hiring the stadium from them. We were getting nothing from the hotel, exhibitions, concerts etc… now it’s all ours.
There are investment opportunities around the stadium with the land we now own as well. Commercial and sponsorship deals will be massive.
New investors will be inevitable now and the cash flow will increase into the club.
In time that’s going to translate into investment on the field as well. Bigger signings, wage cap will increase etc etc.
The brand Coventry City is going to fly…
Decent transport would help King greatly. I hope he's having conversations, or maybe he'll just buy his own goddamn trains like a boss. The Piss The League Express... all aboard!

I've seen the stewards ask fans to stop vaping yet as soon as they are gone people start again.First thing for me is to allow cars in the car park to actually leave after a game and not have any of the road closure bollocks.
Actually train the stewards to control the crowd and not have people blocking the entrance to the disabled areas.
Fix the PA system so Singers corner are not 5 seconds ahead of the rest of the stadium.
There’s been a train station at the arena for ages, what are you on about. I literally got the 17:08 to Bedworth from the arena yesterdayI think having the train run from Nuneaton to Coventry with a stop at the ground would massively help the situation.
Would be so much easier for Nuneaton, Bedworth and Coventry fans and would massively increase the match day experience.
Would also really help the away fans getting the train into Cov city centre and then get out with ease.
I’m surprised we are 20 years on and this still hasn’t happened.

That was bizarre. As far as I could tell they had setup the road closure too early?A444 down to 1 Lane today before the game, even though there were no road works, causing unnecessary tailbacks.
It's like getting in and out of Takeshis fucking Castle at times.
I’m sure it will take time to realise full potentialNot trying to be a downer and would be happy to be proved wrong. However is it the case that the arena has never made a profit? The losses have reduced over time I believe but that would be an outlay on the club and its finances? But it is an opportunity if things are managed well to bring in additional revenue, which im sure King and the team will be looking into.

My thoughts the road closure are here to stay .The reason they were put there is because some idiots think they can take on cars doing 30 or 40 miles an hour when lights change or when there is a gap in the traffic.You see it before every game as well.First thing for me is to allow cars in the car park to actually leave after a game and not have any of the road closure bollocks.

the road closures aren't going to change unless you can find a way to safely get 30K people away from the stadium without them. The area just isn't designed for that number of people.My thoughts the road closure are here to stay .The reason they were put there is because some idiots think they can take on cars doing 30 or 40 miles an hour when lights change or when there is a gap in the traffic.You see it before every game as well.
See this mentioned a lot but how many clubs make a profit on their stadium? I would imagine for the vast majority of clubs running a stadium is a cost.Not trying to be a downer and would be happy to be proved wrong. However is it the case that the arena has never made a profit?

people in cars think they should have priority and you get comments like about about idiot pedestrians. of course there are idiot, and drunk pedestrians, but equally even on the roads that are open, Hen Lane for example, you get drivers doing ridiculous speeds when there's hundreds if not thousands of pedestrians. There's idiots on each side.
