Imaagine for a moment MR's pulls off promtion back to the big time in Birmingham? Where would all the apples fall then?

I have already expressed why? If you are one of these that believe you will get a 20k seater for 30m you have no commercial acumen. Scale is the operative word. Just how much would it cost eventually if you built for 20k, where all the preparations of land, and other infrastructure would be the...

It would be raised capital. Far more detail to this sort of thing than just saying 'we' can't afford it.

Yeah I get it Shmmmeee but what was the fit out cost on top, did that include all the land and prperation of? Plus it's just 21k capacity and it was some years ago. Remember I'm talking about today/ in a few years from now and 30/35k capacity. If you could build a nice stadium right down to...

Come on Shmmeee you will never get the seats for and pour enough concreate for 30m for any capacity of 20k or so. Bear in mind all ancillary areas, fitting out, pitch. No way. Rotherham stadium bleachers are just 12 rows and a capacity of just 12k with the initial construction cost (not land...

The stadium cost question is a good one. The Ricoh was 110m if I recall and a 32.5k capacity. Yes there is the conference areas and hotel facility but it was built in the early 2000's. So what price today if we need to start from scratch again, buy land, clear land, add in additional...

Are you fully committed to building a new stadium at Warwick Uni, or returning to the Ricoh within the next two seasons (2 years) given the opportunity, beit a long term lease or even the possibility of winning back the Ricoh due to yet unresolved EU complaint? What exactly is your time table...

Typical Mark Robins I'd say. Humble, feet still firmly planted on the ground and still maintaining the jobs not done yet with the premier league in his thoughts. He has been a revelation since coming back and his decision making in bringing in Adi Vievash was a critcal one, using the excellent...

Never proven himself consistently at the highest level tbh. A good player, possible will ganer interest from the likes of promoted teams or an Aston Villa. He has missed vital games through injury. I think there are a lot of players around who will be available. Really not sure about him tbh.

Mason did his cause no harm. Hilsner lacks legs but good with ball at his feet, seemed to run around aimlessly a bit. BAka making something happen. Jodi Jones looking ineffective with those second half players. Wilson looks a competant back up keeper. Pity we could not have played with the first...

Well we took off our team and replaced them with the the 3rd team for the most part and it shows. It's irrelavent now but great experience and run out for the rest while risking no injuries to first team starters.

Hey got to be impressed with that first half against a Rangers side who should be fitter and way ahead of us in matches. Hamer pinging the ball around, getting stuck in. Playing our expansive footie and we are only just back in training. Very, very good.

I just want to say what I hinted earlier. A stadium plan with Warwick Uni is a long term thing. It usurps CCC as planning is not in their jurisdiction, so on the face of it a good move. As I understand what does involve CCC is the road and light rail upgrades, but those apparently are already...

This an interesting statement. I said on the other thread about the timing of the Warwick Uni deal and how that would upset WASP. Sems that is the case. WASP are not in great health and financial difficulty coming down the track. It's why I could only see it being sensible for a deal to be...

Beach Tree Chippy is the best! The fish is fantastic. I've been known to drive 35 miles detour to get their fish n chips.....

Well I'm shocked tbh. Really could not see a scenario where an agreement could not be made to the benefit of all sides. But if the imdemnity is such a barrier regardless of recieving much needed rent from CCFC, and much needed revenue on match days for the F&B contractors there must be something...

12 points deduction for Wigan. Subject to appeal but standard stuff. Swansea needing a goal late on to overhaul Forest and got it.

Wow what an end to championship!

Wow such a lot of pessimism on here as usual. For what it's worth from my point of view and I've been around a lot longer than most on here, the Ricoh size is just about right for us. It potentially could be too small for the premier league given any success. Leicester with a very similar...

A surprise announcement and you can't do that without both sides having agreed. So from that angle 'exploratory' work has been done regarding the 'possability' of a stadium being errected there. That's all it is. SISU have found a willing partner with land available that would be a suitable...
