Where are you getting this education restriction from? There's no mention of it in any documents relating to the site on the council website as far as I can see. The council themselves have public stated the land could be put to other uses including housing. In fact a strong argument could be...

Screw putting in a full planning application with experts devising a transport plan. LAST and Magwitch have decided its not possible.

Surely if this proceeds then the requirements have been met for SISU to drop the legal action and we sign a short term deal to stay at the Ricoh until the new stadium is ready.

The council have repeatedly stated when talking to the telegraph its designated for education and sporting use. If they're suddenly claiming its education only that needs checking. Several grade 2 listed buildings but it appears that listing is relatively easy to remove and there is room for a...

Was any explanation given as to why this was done via the trust rather than via the clubs database of supporters which would have had a much greater reach?

The no comment thing does my head in, how the police sit there and take it I don't know. Should be illegal to just sit there and no comment everything, or be taken as an admission of guilt.

Which of course is exactly what the council have done for Wasps with regard to building a hotel on car park c. Don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect similar treatment for the football club.

Professional football was to be prohibited.

All depends if people are gullible enough to keep falling for ‘but SISU’. If they aren’t there will be more questions for the council to answer and they aren’t doing a very good job with that so far. Let’s not forget in a matter of days the council line has changed from there never being any...

Completely agree. What’s coming out of the council is inconsistent at best. They say they’ve ‘only’ had this yet have confirmed meetings have been taking place. Why are they having meetings then? And of course once again we see different criteria applied to Wasps. Did they submit a full...

You could fit both on the site, doesn't have to be one or the other. As has been shown in this thread you can fit a stadium in without touching the existing buildings the council want to bring back in to use.

Doing a bit of digging online it seems the school closed in July 2016. There was a suggestion to mothball it so it could be reopened as a school at a later date if the demand was there. That doesn't seem to have happened with the education minister describing it as 'very uneconomical'. Not much...

But on the Wasps forum they claim there can't be any issues at Wasps as they're about to move in to their new state of the art training ground :pompus:

I had a look last night and I can't find anywhere on the council website that shows cabinet approval. Can you point me in the right direction. Given the time the council have been claimed to be sat on this proposal from the club, something the council haven't denied, I sincerely hope they...

Could not agree with this more. Pressure should now be on the council to either clearly state why this is a non starter or to do a deal similar to the one they have with Wasps for car park C at the Ricoh. They have given Wasps an 18 month license there in which time they don't have to pay a...

Believe it is education and sporting so that wouldn't be an issue. It was Cllr Maton, when he was the council chair of planning, who first mentioned housing on that site.

They're building from the Windmill out aren't they. That might not be what is being referred to hear.

No haven't seen that. Can see there was a consolation that ended in December for a school and sports village but nothing since then on the council site. When was it approved? Of course reusing the existing buildings doesn't necessarily rule out other uses for the rest of the site. Keep saying...

You can demolish grade 2 buildings with permission from the local authority can't you?

I would like to say people aren't stupid enough to fall for it but evidence would suggest they are.
