B_C_F_CLe ModSenor_DroolcupLe ModImagine what we'd do with the Sports Quarter
Has it ever been confirmed that the club will own any new stadium, or wider development, and its associated income streams? Or even been mentioned that that is the intent?
I did ask that this be raised in the open house but it wasn't
It has been asked a few times at Open Houses and OSC things from memory, all we got back was that the Sports Quarter will drive revenue for the club and will then allow us to compete at the top, that is essentially the model.
Presumably therefore we will at least own a significant part of it, though you'd imagine others will be involved in funding it and therefore will have a stake, I can't see how we'd own all of it, but we'll see.
St Andrews @ Knighthead Park is not owned by the club...
It's owned by Birmingham City Stadium Ltd which in turn is owned by Shelby Companies Limited - which is owned by Knighthead companies.
Thanks, I guess that helps RE the revenue does go into the pot for BCFC Ltd (I'd be interested to know how it works if it doesn't own it) but the discussion around Wheels is slightly different because if outsider funding is required to help build the quarter then there could be some form of third party ownership
