Stadium update (6 Viewers)

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Anyone else notice the new floodlights in place yesterday?

Yeah sitting in the Balcony Street Bar, one of them seemed to be pointing at me rather than on the pitch.

Should have brought my sunglasses.

Are they the same but brighter?

Are they powered by solar panels.

I wish we could sack off having the words to WLADITT displayed on the big screen now. It's pretty cringe and surely those who want to sing it should know it by now.

Well not everyone, I'm struggling with it.
But I can remember lots of lyrics from the 1950s and 60s

Here's an idea just don't look at you when you're singing, we live and die in these towns.

 

[Speedie's Head]

WLADITT is a pretty obvious rip off of Going Underground anyway!

 

[robbiethemole]

Boddy in CT saying how buying the stadium will affect us, lots more revenue streams, control over spending and generally making the CBS work for us, all good.
I liked the bloke, despite his bad publicity over Worcester, he forged a new connection between club and fans and did his best against the backdrop of Seppala and slimy Fisher, and the underhand cunts at the Council.

Rip off is a bit strong!

Yes, they were clearly influenced by The Jam and while many Jam songs similarly touched on suburban town themes as WLADITT did, Going Underground itself was primarily a political dig at Thatcher.

If you want to be equally pedantic of course you could lazily argue that The Jam themselves were a rip off of The Kinks, rather than just accepting that they were influenced by them.

He still goes to the games. Often see him driving out from car park A.

Hilarious when David Cameron said he liked Eaton Rifles , he obviously was clueless about what the song was about.

Has he still got that knackered old BMW?

 

[skybluelee]

Take That incoming.

 

[chiefdave]

Take That incoming.

was the least subtle hint ever

 

[Saddlebrains]

Not fucking about is he

Ed Sheeran then Take That is going to generate some serious dollar for us

Heard a murmur we've also had a chat with Oasis tour promoter about next year aswell

I would lose my sh*t if I could see this version of them at our ground. Like living through 'There and Then'.

Think there will be more than a few people wanting a season ticket holder presale if he pulls off getting them

New badge incoming

I heard they said maybe...

I'll have a pint of wine rather than a glass of it then please (unless it's one of those oversize ones that holds an entire bottle)

Wonder what the points limit will be for this one. Seriously though would having a season ticket or CV post code give you preference for tickets?

Villa season ticket holders get priority for gigs there so don't see why the same can't happen for us now we own the ground

Given the demand for Oasis tickets, this would be fantastic!

To be fair i'd prefer if my season ticket protected me against having to see Ed Sheeran.

… Maybe

I got to see Oasis at the Ricoh way back when which has been my copium since missing out on the tour this year.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Shows how badly it's been run for something as simple as an away game being played at the bar seems such an upgrade.

I hope it's successful and they do more of it, maybe a little fan zone in the hall every time we're on sky.

Glad I got to see them early doors in Manchester which was one of the first of this years tour. Massive if they come to the CBS obviously but I think Liam would be whispering after all the gigs this/next year.

Considering the CBS gets compared to the King Power often, they really aren't on the same level are they?

Even high up, it doesn't feel anywhere near as steep or imposing as the CBS.

CBS is much steeper, due to the exhibition hall and the stand touching it (where the lounges are). That stands holds far less so the other three have much more capacity.
King power is similar to st Mary’s

Yeah exactly, not sure they are so heavily compared.

The KP feels a lot smaller. I always say the same when visiting St Mary's.
