How did they keep this under wraps?! So out of the blue makes it even more special. My brain had to catch up with my eyes!

Wonder if he will plan to open the halls for fan zones every week? If the club gets the money then the more beer and food the better?

Imagine the possibilities for massive fan villages for the euros and world cup too. Loads of revenue streams to be exploited.

What a way to announce it aswell, no leeks or ITK hints. Just a tweet out of nowhere on the morning of the game before everyone gets on with their day - brilliant.

how every announcement should be, rather than journalists tweeting about it 300 times for 4 weeks before it gets announced

I hope this means we can finally start dressing the place up a bit more, starting with removing the Frasers on the seats!

Fuckin' hell...that's come out of the blue.
How was this kept secret ?
It's amazing news, but so incredibly unexpected.
Have to say...Doug has played a blinder, and even his staunchest critic must now admit, that so far, he's been a magnificent custodian of our club.
Best Deal Ever.

Amazing and out of nowhere news!!

Everyone should buy an extra pint or two.

Perfect symmetry to our first game at the Arena.

Lump on 3-0 today!

Hyam sold to pay for the pitch. Binks sold to buy the ground.

Hope Doug has the Frasers lettering in the stand replaced with his own name like Chansiri at Sheffield Weds.

Someone go to Dubai and shoot Cov shirts out a t shirt cannon towards all the mega yatchs on the marina.

Time for us to find our sugar daddy.

Couldn't believe it when I read it. Absolutely out of nowhere and is brilliant news. Best signing of the summer.

This could well be THE pivotal moment.

Like everyone, saw the headline and thought is this a wind up.

Great news!!!

Woke up, saw the tweet and I just couldn't comprehend it. I was like its not April 1st so what's the catch.

Still can't quite believe it.

And to think a couple of weeks ago you had people trying to stir up a story that we were moving to the Butts

Completely stunned by this news and echo most of the sentiments on here. The positivity this will generate among City fan base across the globe will be immeasurable. Sad for the fans who are no longer with us and missed out on this momentous occasion.
Fitting the announcement comes 20 year after the stadium opened against QPR and the same result would be superb. Credit to the chairman - I imagine his song will be sung with much pride even among the sceptics. PUSB

Lad just visited and said have you heard on Facebook. I said bollocks and checked here!

Incredible news, well done Doug. For the first time EVER we actually own this 33k beast. What a birthday present for the CBS. Let's have a real party, celebrate with songs and emulate the first result against QPR.

I would have thought the arena operating company will remain and CovCityCo will be the parent, similar to the set up with CCFC Ltd.

So no need for TUPE as it would just be an continuation.

I wonder if in time the anecdote could become more of a traditional boozer? Feels too posh for me at the minute and maybe not many people use it if it became a standard pub?

Or maybe it's heaving every match day and I'm way off the mark I dunno
