Nike deal with our own kids. Revenue grown to only being bettered by parachute clubs, and they only been here 8 months Should that say 'kits' as in it'll be our own design and not a copy kit?

My mind has been blown.
£15m on the ground even though it will be a temporary solution.

Tom Wagner thinks we will be shocked when we see what we can do in the transfer window this summer. And the total cost of the total new development at wheels will be between £2-3B. Wow. 😮

Says only clubs with parachute payments will be able to outspend us. Exciting news. I had visitors unexpectedly so only caught the end of the Q&A’s. I am hoping BluesTV post the whole thing to their YouTube channel. I only hope we have improved our recruitment efforts sufficiently to not waste too much money this summer. Not all additions come off but we need at least 2 out of every 3 to be an improvement on what we have.

They showed us some of the things they’re doing to improve the fan experience they sounded really good.
The corporate hospitality is where they plan to make most of the match day income.
Some brilliant things have already taken place eg the boxes in the Gil Merrick, has been made open plan because the boxes were so dreadful.

The whole thing will be available to watch again tomorrow either on youtube or the official site I forget which, could be both.

This thread below (not mine) is a really good summary… But off the top of my head… - new catering company - bespoke Nike kits for next two years - two fans parks - a box to box zone under the kop for food and drinking - all the boxes in the railway end being ripped out and replaced with a panoramic restaurant - tiered pricing - the vision of the new sports quarter x.com/delves1/status/1777752317636350055

I’ll watch the whole thing today if it’s posted on the BCFC YouTube channel. This is huge ambition from Knighthead and some fabulous things they’ve presented in the Open House last night. I’m excited by the plans and Tom Wagner comes across as extremely impressive.
Did anyone ask how Tony Mowbray is?

Tom, just said the club was 100% behind him and hoped for a speedy recovery.

Did they say anything regarding the St Andrews site when we move?

Post by Professor Frink on Apr 10, 2024 11:39:54 GMT
Not explicitly but DW made a comment that they would take the memorial bricks and the soil with us - plus other key artefacts.....
but he did also say there is an outcome where we might not agree with what they do with the site but that we have to trust them that the end outcome will be a good one

Did they say anything regarding the St Andrews site when we move? He told Tom Ross that he is impatient and want to be complete in 5 years. I’m not sure how realistic that is for the whole project but if they prioritise the stadium it could be possible. Does anyone have a reference for timescales on these things? The new Wembley broke ground on September 2002 and was opened in March 2007, so it’s possible.
