    Butts Park Arena is new home

    Still don't see this CCFC/CRFC joint venture happening at the BPA. Not convinced it will fit on the site and work logistically but happy to be shown to be wrong on that Would think that CRFC are looking for partners for a scheme to improve their ground but would they want to give up the control...

    Jonah lomu

    That's a real shock and sad news. Deepest sympathy to his family & friends I think this comment on the BBC website probably sums his contribution to rugby up BBC Radio 5 live's rugby union reporter Chris Jones: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/34853536 No-one transcended the sport of...

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    Thing about taking an outline of another stadium is that you are not necessarily taking the whole footprint of that stadium.

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    Problem might not be the area but the height of those stands if placed at the Butts Swansea btw have permission to increase to 32k. When I went past it last year it didn't seem to impinge on much housing around it

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    The thought of a central football stadium for CCFC is appealing isn't it. Something to get behind or even hide behind. Had to laugh at the LR comment about perhaps building an underground car park though..... the cost would be horrendous imo. The news has to have come sourced from CCFC or CRFC...

    Thomas

    The lad does seem to have gone backwards or at least stood still in his development. Seems to me when he first made the team he was played wider and encouraged to get forward. Not a wide player but he was in a sense encouraged to take risks. Under SP he was anchored to a holding role in...

    Where do you think the stadium site in Coventry might be?

    Last I saw was that CRFC had a 100 year lease on the Butts stadium - the land owner being CCC. You might think some contact would have been made with the landowner by now. Also put stands up on the three other sides will create parking issues both in reality and planning. For a start off the...

    BBC article: Sky Blues pursuing option of new home within city

    This is the Coventry Observer article http://coventryobserver.co.uk/news/sky-blues-identify-new-stadium-site-in-coventry-and-call-for-council-help-11209/ as an aside to that not sure of the CCC planning regs for parking but the Birmingham Council suggest a 12000 seater stadium would require...

    SCG To Meet Chris Anderson

    To be honest I have no faith in CCFC being transparent in its answers or even a willingness to answer at the moment. Anderson might prove me wrong in time but from what I have heard so far he is very good at deflecting questions to the message he wants to give. Can understand that in some ways...

    SCG To Meet Chris Anderson

    Frankly I wouldn't expect proper answers to any given my past experience of CCFC but I live in hope. You might also note that I asked for descriptions of, not amounts. That was quite deliberate, I wouldn't expect figures however is there any reason why they couldn't provide description of major...

    chris Anderson

    He was on CWR this morning just after 9. Seemed to me he back tracked on what was reported yesterday/today ...... even referred to the prospect of a long term deal at the Ricoh reported by CT as the product of a slow news day. Basically it just all seems non committal on everything - perhaps...

    SCG To Meet Chris Anderson

    few questions/confirmations - please define "in Coventry"? Said in radio interview 11/11/2015 that the site they are looking at is in Coventry. If it is in Coventry why the misdirection with dealings relating to RBC?. - Have they approached CCC regarding the site "in Coventry" and what was...

    chris Anderson

    interesting quote at the end of the soccerissue article But do you think there will be a stat-geek actually running a club? Anderson: “I don’t see that happening”. Sally: “There are too many cultural boundaries”. Seems not to be the case Might download the book and see what it is all...

    Michael Byng returns

    Yes I can But I suggest you do your own work on it if you have a point to make that makes such a comparison relevant to Byng or his backers potentially taking over CCFC. After all you have all the information. The only comments I would make are that both sets show negative reserves which I...

    Bigger Budget ?

    The change in CEO is not going to change the sources of income available to the club. Prime driver of that is the success or not of the team. So in short dont see how it improves the budget short term He might bring new ideas but any significant change in income sources will take time to feed...

    Waggot gone

    I think those are two very important questions Godiva............. certainly more to it than the press release (which in part, I have to say, are hard to read). It is almost ...... "look at all this clever stuff it/he must be good". Clearly a very clever and capable fella in his field. Will wait...
