Between 'Cov FC' and 'Wasps nest' I can't remember the last time I hated a single sentence more.

They've released the same statement word for word so they're right on board as it stands now at least https://warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/pressreleases/joint_statement_by_coventry_city_football_club_and_the_university_of_warwick1/

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jul/21/coventry-plans-new-ground-warwick-university "Sky Blues Talk, an online hub for Coventry supporters, welcomed the news" BIG TIME CHARLIES

With all the news this really is the day to sneak out something catastrophic like 'the away won't be brown'

Agree, I don't think student accomm would be part of it. A new student village has literally just been finished on campus and while third parties are building nearby I'm sure there's no way they'd be allowed on campus land itself

Felt cute, might delete later

There's got to be something in it for everybody of course. It'd be nice to know Sisu are somehow helping to keep me employed, they owe me something for that 16/17 season if nothing else

Warwick has largely catered for most of the planned losses caused by Covid by pausing projects and spending and a voluntary redundancy scheme. A second wave or it never subsiding will obviously fuck things up for everyone but short of that it's not the alarm bells that may be sounding elsewhere.

Fucking hell it's all going on today

https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/wmg/research/hvmcatapult/research/rail/vlr The VLR stuff exists independent of any of this, it just makes sense to incorporate it into whatever plans may come about

This is the bit I could see them looking at, building over the existing pitches and locating them elsewhere may also a possibility as the new sports hub was intended to be the main part but with other sport facilities dotted around rather than it all being central

Kevin Maton must have the roughest tongue with all the boots he licks.

I'd guess shared use of facilities in some form, a main one would be that any proper plans would help with local infrastructure improvements they already want to make

We've been told - things not already signed off are delayed, numerous projects past that point carrying on. Arts Centre upgrade, new Humanities building among others all going on as we speak. There's really no sense in them putting their name to anything that isn't legitimate. That's not to say...

This doesn't really ring true, the University already have ongoing projects that cover growth and expansion to the point that they wouldn't need to bother with this. One thing that would help is that it would further existing plans for improvements to local infrastructure, but nothing would be...

I've got admin access to all the email accounts so I'll see if there are any named SISU or STADIUM or PROJECTDEATHRAY or whatever

The long term aim for parking on campus is to move it more peripheral which would match up neatly to where I suspect they'd be looking

Traffic getting home can be an absolute arse most evenings but if it's followed three points in a stadium we own I'll live with it.

This seems more than the previous bluster as there's a reputable name attached rather than Tim Fisher saying we've identified 12 places and never telling us more. It could end up being nothing but it's definitely the closest to something we've seen from them in all the time with us

I'm sure Leicester's ground was around the 30-40 mark, although that was the best part of 20 years ago now
