Stadium update (26 Viewers)

[skybluetony176]

Genuinely feeling very emotional right now. Never thought it would happen without premiership money, coupled with remembering all the shit we’ve been through to get to this point. It’s quite a day. Hat’s off to Doug, well done. An owner who has genuinely brought the club forward.

Would be classic city to go out and lose 3 nil now

we'll somehow find a way to lose on fuckin pens

Obviously I want to win, but also, today’s result feels less consequential to me now!

Also, just want to state I didn’t trust Doug at first. Put it on here in the past. I didn’t have a reason to distrust him, but I felt like I needed a reason to trust him.

This is the reason I needed. What a bloke.

First order of service:

Ban that c**t for life, and any other traitorous c**t that went to watch Wasps.

Best possible news for fans, club and the community of Cov! Brilliant!

Dear Mr King

Great news. Now sort the WiFi and sound system out.

Thanks

Next stadium sponsorship. Money will all come to us right?

Sounds a win for possible budgets in itself!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

I'd imagine that's his ultimate goal. But if he makes some cash and the club is in a good place, then everyone's a winner.

I think he'll still be here for a bit though. He's increase the value of the club exponentially over night, getting us up would rocket it even further so I think he'll hang around and see if we can achieve that in the next year or two

Yeah I think so. Think he likes being a football chairman but money talks… think it’s inevitable that a billionaire will make a move for us in time.

It'll be paid yearly anyway

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

When their rental deal runs out I'd be tapping up the owners of Sky Blue Tavern and Dhillions, they both run fantastic operations imo

 

[Sky Blue Heaven]

Still can’t believe this….feeling quite emotional. After everything thats gone on since the stadium was built, never thought I’d see the day when we actually owned our stadium again. Fantastic news, can’t wait for kick off. PUSB ⚽️🩵

Was thinking, wonder if the club would move the sky blue tavern here and close the one in town

Honestly don't think it would take too much shine off this news. This is momentous stuff

 

[quinn1971]

Happy wedding anniversary to me, best present ever, will they be putting the words to the Doug king song on the board

 

[JSL]

Genuinely gob smacked. For all those Doug doubters, give your head a wobble. Made my day

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

I may even sing his chant this afternoon...

Steady on

I never thought it would happen.
We will always owe DK a debt of gratitude no matter what happens.
Redemption.

Whoever said the chief business officer woman from PSG came in to oversea this purchase and then find us suitable new owners, I think they may be bang on the money.

 

[Dazmataz]

Amazing news. Feels like the years of being a basket case club are finally behind us.

 

[chiefdave]

It's not that bad, the location means it's a bit awkward. Watched some games in there though and the food isn't bad.

thats the problem, with where it is you're basically only ever going up there for an event.

you could look at making it a destination like the o2 with all the other things there but you really need the transport infrastructure to do that, not to mention it would cost tens if not hundreds of millions.

 

[Jamesimus]

This is where I’m at.

Like if we got relegated now, it would be horrible, but at least we’d have a bloody stadium to play football in! Just seems like things can never be as bad as they once were, ever again.

 

[clint van damme]

Was that you?!

I text my old man the exact same thing! Although, I have to remind myself it's the City of old isn't it really.

Things will take a dip on the pitch at some point, it's inevitable. But at least we won't end up in bloody Northampton!

First Doug buys the stadium, then Tony's posted on the football.

I'm having a go on yhe lottery tonight!

I've got a feeling it's run in house. Not sure there's a huge amount you can really change in that space but renaming it and making it something more like the tavern would be fairly easy to do and very welcome.

 

[procdoc]

You and the girl from Clapham?

Exactly!

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Now we can shut the doors on the council.

Council are the lease holders.

 

[Jamesimus]

Also worth mentioning that this news just about makes up for this seasons away kit.

It's fine as it is. You've got to remember we only use it for 4-5 hours every fortnight, most of the punters are here for other events, hotel stays, conferences, etc.

And it's pretty busy as it is on match day. And we have the fan zone as well.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Council are the lease holders.

Freeholders but they granted a 250 year lease. Will be a long while before we need to worry about them twats

 

[SkyBlueBarmy84]

Was that you?!

It was - I have a loose link to Nicola from her Villa days - but it was more of a speculative comment, given her experience/contacts. I had no idea anything was going to happen this quickly though.

Just would like a sky blue lick of paint and a new name which links to the club.
