Possibly, but given they've already been called on their 'advanced discussions with landowners and councils' and found wanting, it's kind of hard to believe they're telling the truth this time. All of the cards are against them at Exhall - previous planning rejection at the highest level...

It's good work, but where's the hill. You've got to have a hill! ;)

Spot on with regard to the planning stuff. The appeal was turned down by the Secretary of State in Nov 2013. http://www.out-law.com/en/articles/2013/november/pickles-rejects-coventry-green-belt-marina-and-housing-scheme/ You can read the full report here, if you're really bored...

Absolutely - although even then the FOI isn't actually asking for disclosure of the site. I think it would be hard to make the case that the public finding out that SISU have had talks about a development in the general area would impact any commercial agreement - especailly given that SISU...

"ahah what a woman". Seriously mate, get a yourself a girlfriend, a life, leave the wind-ups to the people who are good at it, and leave the intelligent arguments to the grown ups. Anyway I'll end this now, I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed man.* *That's a famous quote by the...

Crybaby? Seriously. What does that make you mate? Oooh, please don't complain about the fixture being moved, waah waah. I'm worried might not get to watch it on TV, and my mummy's promised me I can stay up late. If you want to argue the point, argue the point. Otherwise you'll forgive me...

Ah, I'm guessing that the people complaining about people complaining about moving the fixture were never actually intending to go to this game. Forgive me if I'm wrong. As for moving fixtures around, it may indeed be part of the modern game, but does that mean that we need to be good little...

Interesting - I'm reading this as 'it suits me better, so please stop complaining'. If football is about sitting on your fat arse in front of the telly, eating chips and listening to Andy Townsend, then I guess there's really no issue. If it's about meeting your mates, supporting your team in...

If he was from Leicester it wouldn't be a problem. ;)

Hmm... from a rugby fan's viewpoint, can I just say that I'd have no interest in watching a 'bigger' team like London Irish play at the Ricoh on a regular basis or especially instead of watching Cov RFC. I support Cov RFC because they're Coventry's team. If Man Utd were suddenly parachuted...

I would think that any prospective owner would be more concerned with the viability of the club, rather than the real estate. That's about income streams, expenditure and squad potential rather than owning bricks and mortar, isn't it? It's an interesting thought though. Could there be a...

Good spot mate - that's at least one less goal that we'll have to score to win. ;)

Much as I dislike our owners, I think if someone comes in with a substantially bigger wage offer then Leon is likely to want to leave. SISU don't really have much control over that, in fairness. From that point on it's just about maximising the fee that we can get for him, or negotiating to...

Agreed that the pitch was rough towards the end of one season, although I think there is some debate over whether that was down to the owners declining to pay for required maintenance. Regardless, other than that the Ricoh pitch has always looked pretty decent to me. I'm not on a wind up here...

A lot of other places had severe weather too over the weekend and yet still managed to play their games. I don't know if the groundshare is the major reason why the game was postponed, but it's obviously going to have a significant impact. How many games did Northampton lose to heavy rainfall...

Yep, it doesn't matter how good the groundsman is, playing every week in this weather will wreck the pitch. A mudbath hardly favours our current style of play, and when it does finally dry I suspect it'll be bobbly - not great for passing teams either. Hard to see how it won't impact the team...

You do spout some tosh. So, the money that Cov CC have got tied up (24m or so) will come from the magic money tree will it? And I'm a taxpayer and I care. Who's really talking bollocks here? Just 'cos you want to give it away, don't imagine everyone else in the city will stand for it.

Quite possible mate, though it suggest a level of intelligence I'm yet to see in our owners. Has a certain, low animal cunning though... ;)

OK, I get it. The presumption is that if we go along with it there are less excuses for SISU to use when it doesn't happen. I kind of see it, but I think there are a couple of problems. The first is that SISU clearly don't give a toss about what the fan's think. So it's a bit rich of them to...

I'd like a 32,000 seater stadium in CV6, please. Ta.
