Does that mean they have to tell Joe Blogs fans tomorrow though? Delaying telling for whatever reason is a sure way to upset people though.

Different version in Bromsgrove Advertiser, quote. John Prescott believes the deal will provide a financial and profile boost for the club. Its not just the rent for the ground but extra bar takings we will also make from the deal. And we all know how it ended when he was in charge of our Social Club. Chocolate man must be rubbing his hands together.

Best option, and I look forward to it. Far easier for me to get to than Kiddy.

I wouldn't drink, eat or urinate in a bar run by Mr Prescott. Not after the financial shambles he left the SGL bar in.

Well that's come as surprise....
Speaking as a Bromsgrove supporter I'd like to welcome you and hope you have a very short stay before moving back home. Ive seen a fair amount of Prescott stuff on here, which I understand, However I'd continue to point out though that by far the biggest share holder in Bromsgrove Sporting is the supporters society. I genuinely feel our two clubs can have a mutually beneficial relationship (apologies for management bullshit).
The VG might not have quite as many empty plastic seats and red crash barriers as Kiddi, but it has its charms and a couple of new turnstiles (for which we're grateful).

Thank God it's finally been made public knowledge, worst kept secret but still had to wait until the final day to announce due to Conference. A lot of hard work has been put into this, the statement doesn't explain those involved or what work has been done to get us this far, not really surprised, but a number of hours have been spent, as well as time, and I'm pleased we are moving into the Victoria Ground.

I for one would like to say a big thank you to all those involved in getting the Victoria Ground up to standard, and those involved in negotiations with Sporting. A thanks also to Sporting for giving us an option that wasn't Kiddy or (please never ever) Redditch.
We have a place to call home for the next 2/3 seasons, although it might not be as shiny as Aggborough, or as nearby as Perdiswell, I'm happy. Lets hope by the end of our contract with Sporting, we will be home.

I can only echo Cris's sentiments, and add that whilst we don't have the cottage pies, the chips are fantastic. AND you can have not two but FOUR sausages with two portions of them for the same price as one of those gorgeous Aggborough behemoths.

Hopefully you can still get your Aggborough pie on Boxing Day/New Years day. It would be great to get Kiddy as the holiday derby games.

Ok, so Bromsgrove it is ! Obviously not surprising & admittedly wouldn't have been my first choice. But it does sound like some of their supporters are welcoming us, so that's a bonus. Also not too pleased that again, it looks like there will be no share of bar takings etc but it is not our ground so I suppose that's the way it is. I DO NOT agree with Lord Ealing about The Bromsgrove Chairman regarding the demise of the WCFC bar, ( as far as I'm aware it was a run as a separate entity to WCFC ) & that was a historical fault of 'The Club'. Jon was am employee of the company, not the owner & was therefore responsible to his employers. Any blame should therefore be aimed at them. For those of you without too much history of WCFC, please look to the future rather than the past (as many of us do, yes including myself). In my opinion it is time to let go, stop the bitterness & focus on the future.

We all knew what the outcome would be, but I'm pleased about the move to sporting. Proper old fashioned non league ground, just hope we can adapt on the pitch quick to it being our home ground. Hopefully the club can arrange some sort of transport possibly from the station to the ground, 5 or 6 quid for the train plus a bus to the ground or something like that. And finding which are the best pubs to visit (I've been told to avoid the queens head?!) anyway, looking forward to it!

Poster Carthaginian, on the WN article comments;
"One of the advantages of Aggborough was that Worcester were under the same league structure as Kidderminster and so the fixtures were coordinated - as a result, most games were played on a Saturday afternoon.
Without that same link, I really hope that we dont end up with a load of Sunday games at Bromsgrove. Friday evenings may be OK, and could pull in the punters - especially for the several local derbies that could happen, but Sunday is not a good day for attendances."
Anybody know if this has been discussed?

Anybody know if this has been discussed? Didn't this work out all right when Evesham United played at the Lane? The Conference & Southern League planners must have co-ordinated the initial fixture list but with the host club getting primacy over dates for Cup ties and re-arranged fixtures.

Only possible issue would be FA competitions, however as we've never reached the round you enter the FA cup at (have to win three games first!) that will probably not be an issue, I think some of the FA Vase and FA Trophy dates overlap so potential Sunday there. I can't really see it being a massive issue its not like ground shares are a new thing for fixture planners!

That's fair enough Jimbo. Believe it or not I am looking to the future, and I believe with people like Jem; Creaner; Rich Widd etc behind the scenes there is hope.
However, we shouldn't forget the past. Prescott was part of the cabal that led to the disastrous sale of SGL. He might only have been "an employee" but that didn't stop him toasting the sale in champagne with the other clowns when the deal was done. Also I can't remember him raising his head above the parapet and questioning the likes of Boddy; Hallmark; Lancaster and Brown.
Perhaps some support for the "troublemakers" could have redeemed him - but he stayed silent.
And since the debacle have we heard any words of remorse? No. Not from him nor the other guilty parties. Shameful.
I like the idea of us going to Bromsgrove for what I hope is a short stay. However, the idea of Big Jon being there irks me.

IMO what has happened is past & it is no good raking this up time & time again, yes it hurts, but let bygones be bygones, we need to work with the people at Bromsgrove in a positive manor, this is a new era for all & it seems their supporters are really happy we are there & one has offered support with getting City back home & i no doubt others are the same, so lets go there positive & with the board we have now know everything will be transparent, I would prefer (open & honest), & enjoy our stay their & work together for fantastic seasons for both teams, & look at the positives, & not the negatives or the past...

I did not suggest anyone should be exonerated, I was simply stating a fact that JP was an employee. But u do agree with thatloudbloke. It's time to move on

O.K. I'll agree to differ with you Jimbo, and if I see you at Bromsgrove I'll buy you a drink to toast the future.

If we do get fixture priority over sporting I wonder if we'll revert back to Monday night games, quite like the idea of that if it happens
