Are you deliberately choosing to ignore anything that's posted that doesn't' fir your argument? They aren't going to put a planning application in, or even begin the pre-planning process, until the council come back with a forward contract. Step back and think for a second. Why would the...

It matters because we know from documents shown in court that a PR company has been engaged to deceive fans in favour of ACL and the council. Why should we just accept that?

Would be a bit of an idiotic thing to suggest as if that was true when SISU first put the plan forward over a year ago the council could have knocked them back and easily justified that rejection. Instead they have been stalling for time and in doing so giving SISU lots more evidence to take...

We do it because we haven't got a pot to piss in and it means we don't have to spend money out upfront.

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...
