Annoyingly for us AEG have a habit of buying clubs that operate in the venues they run and pumping money in to make them winning teams that bring larger crowds. What might have been ...

Presumably you are about to post the same information supporting your opinion?

I'm obviously not an expert but I can't see anything there worth saving. If that's listed then pretty much anything would qualify. I would understand them listing something like the elephant in town but they'll happily allow that to be knocked down but list crap like this. It looks like any...

Seems they have misjudged the mood. Of the 20 comments posted in response to this on their facebook page only 2 agree with their stance.

Not adversely affect the character, appearance or setting of the listed building, have you seen the buildings in question?!?

I'm also interested in how the companies contracted for catering are making any money if they are handing 100% of food and drink over to Wasps.

They've got that wrong then haven't they. Someone living locally has already stated that its been much better received than they expected and they said the same on CWR yesterday afternoon.

Must just be a coincidence all these posters suddenly appearing to defend the council who created their accounts years ago but have never bothered to post.

1) it is very easy to fit a stadium on that site without touching the listed buildings 2) the type of listing it has is far from difficult to remove

You should let SISU know where this site is you know of that they could be a new stadium on with no opposition from residents.

Its very simple. ACL was unable to operate profitably with a £14m loan to service. Wasps have come in and more than doubled the debt that is required to be serviced. Should Wasps / ACL go bust that debt will do with them and the new owner of the lease will be able to run the company without a...

Then the club should have been allowed to buy the Higgs 50% they bid on but that didn't happen. Why should the club now be at the mercy of Wasps just so we don't risk making the council look bad. If you care about the city of Coventry you should care about its football club, irrespective of if...

Going off that tweet Gilbert has fallen for the council PR line and failed to ask them any relevant questions. Why are they talking about the planning process when that's not the stage this is out? Should be talking about the council granting the club a forward contract on the site as they have...

Bet they'll be popular at the council. Shouldn't they all be keeping to the same story? As they've obviously seen a full planning submission with the associated reports on infrastructure etc perhaps they could share it with the rest of us. Or are they just shooting their mouths off without a...

Haha, I'd laugh if that was it. 'Its a school it has to be used for education'.

I've just listened to it, it was Gilbert that said the site was restricted to educational use. You're correct that Andrew Walster was also on but he didn't say anything about the site being restricted to educational use. Interestingly Gilbert declared Walster was the councils head of planning...

Just listening now, its Simon Gilbert who said it. The whole piece on CWR is a waste of time to be honest as its centred around planning which is not the stage we're at. Its a council PR piece fed to Gilbert and he's gone with it rather then fire back the relevant questions about a forward...

Coventry beat Wasps, Wasps lose to Coventry. That works even better.

Thats your key line there. We know they were happy to ground share as they submitted a business plan on that basis. Then the council got involved and they backed off. Not hard to see why when they need the council onside for their own ground development.

Personally I wouldn't just sit back and wait 5 years as I've said earlier in this thread. I would suggest the council put a time limited forward contract in place, exactly as they have done for Wasps, that requires SISU to submit and get approval for a planning application in a specific...
