You are assuming majority of fans have time for travel and money for Brum. I don't think its always that simple
I got chewed out(maybe rightly so) for not understanding unemployment. So maybe we shouldn't dismiss £6 as nothing for people or families is what i mean

Regardless of what you and the other chuckle brother come out with, don't you think he would be there seeing how the council and wasps are fucking us over? He has had enough digs about it.

Again, you are reaching and giving me examples which impact fans going to football matches anyway in an ordinary situation.
I will once again clarify, going 20 miles isn't impossible for most people, it's an inconvenience and you choose to go or not, going to Truro as Grendel stated would be an impossibility for most fans and much more than an inconvenience.
If you are ( unemployed, disabled, 5 years old and the only city fan in the house) I already know that it's hard for you to get to St Andrews

It’s also time and effort - it’s not just about money

Yeah I’m not saying they aren’t fucking us over so don’t start with that bollocks, I’m just worried he’ll get fed up of sharing with brum

People from South Coventry have pretty much been putting in the same time and effort for years to get to the ricoh, barely any difference

It depends where you live really and people's circumstances.
It will be the same effort for somebody living in Holbrooks to get to St Andrews than it would for somebody right over the other side of the city to get to the Ricoh.

He’s pretty much bought into the project. Outside of this club his record is mediocre - he’s really got nothing to gain by leaving

Money ? Bigger fan base ? Bigger transfer budgets ? None of this nonsense with grounds etc ?

You have to state the fact homeless people, people in hospitals waiting for operations and 3 year olds can't attend matches too, because that adds confusion

Pretty sure you were saying the same last year.

Well I'm shocked tbh. Really could not see a scenario where an agreement could not be made to the benefit of all sides. But if the imdemnity is such a barrier regardless of recieving much needed rent from CCFC, and much needed revenue on match days for the F&B contractors there must be something they are not telling us.
The positive is a season at Brum with an excellent pitch and that garnered spirit to prove we can do it with all games being 'away' from home may just produce some very good results. I urge fans now we are in a 'proper' league to make the effort a few miles more, support our football club as they need you more than ever. Please don't take the attitude of "until we are in Cov I'm not going". That now is irrelevant.
As for WASP yes they can survive without us but I'm really not so sure how long and wonder if this is not a commercial mistake on their part.
The Ricoh could still be in play once the EC decision is handed down, yet there is no mention of this? I would say the timing of a plan to build a stadium at Warwick Uni was a strange one and may even have contributed to the talks breaking down. Why? Beacuse if I was informed by CCFC can we use you for the next 5 years, but we are leaving you then and taking our business elsewhere, I wouldn't be too happy. SISU would have required everything be assignable to any new owners too, reaping the benefit of being back at the Ricoh and with plans for a new stadium, making the club more attractive to purchasers. But it works both ways, WASP surely losing out on substantilal revenue by not agreeing. Perhaps when the EU verdict is known, and clears the council of any wrong doing WASP and CCFC can quickly get a deal done that they have just departed from, having all the dots and t's crossed.
As a footnote we should demand all references to CCFC be removed from the Ricoh. And if the verdict is to condem the council I think SISU will be in a strong position. Can you imagine getting promoted? Wow if MR's pulled that off we would have the money to build that stadium guaranteed, and in quick fashion for A 35k capacity. One can dream a little right?

You of all people should be aware his star's at its highest atm! A bad season and it doesn't matter about budgets, he'll be seen as somebody who can't cut it at this level.
That being said, I agree with the first part. I think he'll stay barring a silly offer, and it's unlikely the clubs in a position to make those would be targeting him.

It’s abundantly clear now that Wasps and the council are more at fault than SISU this time around. I feel the Northampton move hadn’t happened the way it did, more fans would be on the clubs side in this and would see how much damage Wasps and the council are doing to the club.
Now is the time to back the club more than ever. If we can increase attendances at Birmingham, and do well in the championship and the new stadium does happen this could set us up for a bright future. (My personal opinion on the stadium is with the uni backing it, it is likely to be more realistic then when Fisher was talking about it)

There must be something else going on here, how does it make any sense money wise for us not to be playing there, I can’t get my head round wasps stance

I don't think it would be similar time wise at all
Even far out in cov UBER would be quicker than uber to station thrn train to Brum then UBER or walk to st Andrews
Or straight uber cov to st andrews

Maybe wasps want us back & it was sorted but the council want immunity and we won’t give it them as they under sold the ground & know they will be hit for big damages ?

What method of transport. Just curiois
The Ricoh is turning into a dump. Seats faded, PA system like a 1950’s pontins camp site, walls cracking due to subsidence, The place in need a good clean over on the stadium roofing, rusting posts, paint markings faded and a pitch that has seen more moles than Groundsman.
My mate said the rats wear overalls when entering the Ricoh. I laughed but I’m thinking his right.

Council involved mate (3rd party). Won't deal with Sisu out of spite (and possiblyshitting themselves about EU complaint). They hide behind Wasps but CCFCs statement implicates them regarding wanting damages if THEIR sale to Wasps is deemed to be dodgy.
Why should CCFC pay damages for that.
