Fans were at it again Saturday there seems to be a rumour we are returning to Ricoh sometime in October - does anyone knows if there is any substance to this rumour
so unhappy they signed a 10-yr extension?Not sure how much truth is in this but heard that the casino are not happy about losing the income from CCFC matches that they
are refusing to pay the rent deal to wasps plus the hotel group are doing the same.
This could all be pie in the sky stuff but what if this is true.
The fact is the gates could be over 20k if the good season continue
The fact is the gates could be over 20k if the good season continues and that’s a hell of a lot of money and income for everybody including ccfc.
Which is still a significant step in the right directionI’d think 14-15k is realistic for a successful season
The fact is the gates could be over 20k if the good season continues and that’s a hell of a lot of money and income for everybody including ccfc. The casino for example must be dead on a Saturday afternoon when it could be rammed with hundreds of punters.
I have no idea on any rumours but I think there is a lot of truth in the fact that this situation can’t continue. Something has to give and fairly soon.
An Urban myth that we’d get 20,000 on a regular or even irregular basis.
We haven’t for decades (40 odd years) barring the first season at the Ricoh when everyone had season tickets as a one off.
The Casino have just signed a ten year contract.Not sure how much truth is in this but heard that the casino are not happy about losing the income from CCFC matches that they
are refusing to pay the rent deal to wasps plus the hotel group are doing the same.

The EU decision will be the decider and until then we are nomads of the EFLLoads of different points here.
*better football Northampton-
Presley got lucky with the players he had at his disposal (L Clarke, Christie, Fleck etc) and a Callum Wilson coming through and starting to score goals. Clarke goes and Wilson injured, wheels come off badly.
*20k gates-
Under Mowbray gates crept up... 17.5k versus Burton (Jan?)... that was the peak and fell away as we were already dropping points left right and centre and continued to do so.... could have gone up...who knows... but took until Jan to hit that. We are in August.
*Situation can't continue and something has to give soon -
Wasps season hasn't even started. We have no idea what gates they will get or how they will do... that may give us some indication of how their business is planning out...
They have been hammering PR around the whole Midlands, especially Birmingham looking to pick up more custom.
*Casino losing money-
Just signed a new 10 year deal (hopefully on reduced terms!) but did state they would like CCFC to be there in their press release. (Something the Ricoh arena initted in theirs!)
*Wasps getting Millions in TV money
Yes, 17mill or something... but some has to be put into infrastructure.. don't know all details but this is a lot for them to recieve... far more than they would from us being there for a number of seasons!
*Vodafone -
New sponsor.....how good a deal, nobody knows... rumours of stadium naming deal too... but also rumours that is stalling as CCFC are not there and that would bring more exposure..
*Boddy -
Making NO noises even on Saturday about a return, in fact, quite the opposite when asked.
*Indemnity and coucil
Coucil want club to fail. Wasps still in full on circle-jerk with coucil so as the council have bent over to get Wasps here and into Ricoh... they will be scratching each others back and more!
SO..... nobody can call this... everybody can speculate! Looking at what I have seen mentioned, the only thing I think might have legs is the Vodafone stadium deal. How much sway this can have is anybody's guess.
I hate Wasps and want them to fail, so us teaming up with a share in the Ricoh would be a bad Idea if they are a struggling business. I think CCFC are playing a longer game and seeing how Wasps will be affected.
No immediate return in my opinion!
I'm saying 8000 for next game BlackpoolWe've not played a 'big' team at St Andrews yet......Attendance will be 10k+ for 3 or 4 games i reckon. Would love to see behind the goal open.
Yeah man, some teams should bring 3k-ish...I'm not sure what that end holds?I'm saying 8000 for next game Blackpool
If we go back and the pitch is shit, there is no point.I’m sure we’d be back sooner if those 3 responsible parties stopped being such pricks.
And unless we return as equals.If we go back and the pitch is shit, there is no point.
I thought Saturday would be a big indicator on our ‘home’ support, holiday weekend, nice day, good result with all the circumstance at Portsmouth and it indicates 5kish home support, can’t count away, will be as good as it gets so sad and so unnecessary.We've not played a 'big' team at St Andrews yet......Attendance will be 10k+ for 3 or 4 games i reckon. Would love to see behind the goal open.
That’s if Birmingham want us there long term something I’m not convinced about.Neither side is going to find it easy to back down. The possibility of legal cases will still be available in October, unlikely EC will have completed their investigation by then. (Caveat is that a no deal brexit might make the investigation irrelevant... no one knows for definite). I dont see how they get a deal done.
To be honest all the comments etc from the club seem to indicate staying in Birmingham to me. For this season and perhaps much longer.

Informative and knowledgeably balanced as usual OSBNeither side is going to find it easy to back down.
