    New Stadium - The pessimist's view...

    CBRE were engaged by the club and paid, not partners, and, at least partially did the job they were brought on board to do. IMO that's very different to the University announcing a partnership with the club on a new stadium project.

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Don't think anyone is expecting land for free but you have to think building on land already owned by a project partner that doesn't come under CCC is a lot easier than the other options.

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Dirty Duck and Terrance Bar both in the SU. There's a plaza with a big screen in front of the SU, could easily stick a beer tent up on match days. Assume there will also be bars in the Arts Centre when the refurb is finished.

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    And when we're in the Prem and visiting teams are flying in by private jet they can land at Cov Airport. Where are you coming from? The 12X is 19 minutes from Pool Meadow and 12 minutes from the station. The Uni has 29K full time staff and students plus all the staff at the offices and...

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    If the uni own the land could be University of Warwick Stadium as part of the deal?

    That's the important part. Our legal system is reliant on that so if you set the precedent that the government can make people stateless then there's nothing to stop the same applying to anyone else they want to remove citizenship from.

    New Stadium - The pessimist's view...

    Complete understand any scepticism but I can't see the Uni agreeing to have their name involved without there being something to it. Also doubt its something that's been thrown together quickly, too many people would have to sign off on it before the Uni would be making announcements like this...

    Russia Report

    On the one hand you don't want to be alarmist but on the other you look at what's happening here and in the US and wonder where it ends up.

    Forum Statement on New Stadium Announcement

    Only on this forum could the idea that we "must not put the long term future of the club at risk" be something to argue about.

    New Stadium Announcement!!!!!!

    Good news. Obviously remain highly sceptical but I can't really see why the Uni would get involved if it was just bluster from SISU. With the exception of the city centre / Butts, which would take a miracle, this is the best location we could hope for. Presume the plan, should we get that far...

    Russia Report

    Wasn't expecting it to be this bad to be honest. Not sure how the government can turn round and say interference in what is most likely the most important vote in a generation doesn't warrant an independent investigation.

    Shamima Begum Not Allowed Back.

    Just because people realise you can't just ignore International law doesn't mean they want her back. Its now down to the government to prove their case, that she is a citizen of Bangladesh. The vast majority of people will be more than happy if that happens.

    Yep, the timing of his outburst surely not a coincidence.

    I would hope the council aren’t giving out 250 year leases on buildings and retaining responsibility for maintenance. That would be madness.

    When we missed the follow on thought we'd blown it. Great performance today, apart from the one review we should have taken did pretty much everything right. Cracking catch to finish off as well. Hope Stokes is OK. This is a hell of schedule to try and get him to play all the tests this...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    The vaccine stuff is of course good news but even fast tracking it we're a long time from the point we can start giving them to people. Think the other news today, of existing medicines working to treat covid-19, is the more promising news. If we can find a drug we know is safe to take that...

    Back in the good old days of being called a council lover, or even worse being accused of being a council employee!
