    All purpose cricket thread

    Could struggle to get a result in the last test. Rain forecast all day Saturday, Monday and until 2pm Tuesday. If that's correct there's only going to be 2.5 days play.

    Comic Con weekend, obviously all being done virtually this year but should still be some new trailers. Looking forward to Truth Seekers on Amazon later in the year.

    Championship salary cap next season?

    Things need to change. Would have preferred it to happen in different circumstances but maybe this will be the thing that finally kicks them into action.

    the housing market

    This was the problem I had trying to buy. You could sign up to every site going to get immediate notification when a property went on the market, get straight on the phone to the agent for the earliest possible viewing and then before you can even look at the place a buy to let investor comes in...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Can't build houses because a few people on Green Lane don't want their view spoilt. Got no chance. Not like there's even access to the land at the moment so you could at least argue you were losing use of something. One of the councillors who is objecting knocked on my door canvassing and said...

    Match Thread Coventry v Rangers

    Main thing is it looks like he will be fit for the season which considering a couple of weeks ago he was allegedly about to have an operation is great news.

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Do they give any reasoning or have they just pulled a number out of thin air? 10 current PL teams have stadiums under 35K. In the Championship there's only 2 over 35K. I'm all for planning ahead so its easy to expand but equally I don't want to be sat in a stadium that's well below capacity...

    Forum Statement on New Stadium Announcement

    The club will have far more data on ticket sales than we have. I know we like to think SISU are clueless but does anyone really think they're goi g to build a 15K stadium if the data tells them they can sell 25K tickets every week? People seem to have taken the lowest figure that was mention in...

    Site confirmed for New stadium

    I think this is where the partnership with the Uni could really work in our favour. If someone objects saying you can't get 20K people to the site you can point out that there's over 6,600 staff and 26,500 full time students that get in and out. And if planning is needed for any infrastructure...

    Site confirmed for New stadium

    He's one of my councillors so I'll be sending in an email to let him know I'm not happy with his comments. To be honest I expected it to be uproar around here when it was suggested as the locals like to object to anything but its been overwhelmingly positive so far. Maybe as the local...

    Site confirmed for New stadium

    What route maps are you looking at? The initial plan was supposed to be for the first line to go city centre to Walsgrave Hospital and then extend out the other way to service the Uni. Unless that's changed that should be useful. There's also the proposed Kings Hill rail station would could...

    Site confirmed for New stadium

    Think you might need to go a little bit south as I believe the uni have plans to put a massive car park there. Although that could all tie in and the location of the stadium and car park compliment each other.

    Forum Statement on New Stadium Announcement

    If we're in the Prem and there is a demand the expansion will be carried out to 35K which would currently be the 11th biggest ground in the PL. Is that not enough? How much larger does the proposed capacity need to be to satisfy you?

    New Stadium - The pessimist's view...

    Has anyone actually said this? The only comments I've seen around capacity are people agreeing with the club that you don't build a stadium for crowds you don't get. Where is this idea that a stadium that can be up to 35K if required makes us a minor club coming from?

    Forum Statement on New Stadium Announcement

    Looking at our attendance history if you're not happy with an initial 20K rising to 35K if required what capacity would be enough to not be "fucking pathetic"? Should we build a 60K stadium like Arsenal & Spurs and just hope it doesn't bankrupt us before we reach a point where we need to use...
