Haha, Maton has blocked me on twitter! Only pointed out the stadium was built before the old folks home and there's 8K parking spaces, buses and trains to the city centre and then when he complained it would be too noisy asked if he was planning to block Godiva Fest and Ricoh concerts. Guess...

Will be interesting to see what the new council leader has to say.

Sounds more like it, which party is he?

Exactly, there's plenty of grounds with little to no parking and its not an issue yet when theres even a slight possibility of a new ground for us everyone wants to find fault with every little detail they can.

Hope so!

It would be great for the city. I can see a lot more money being spent in the city centre on a matchday than is currently spent near the Ricoh. Plus if your mrs complains about you going to the match you can suggest she goes into town for a bit! Could be good for Blaze as well. Schedule some...

Blaze have signed Rod Stewarts son. They're missing a trick if they don't get Rod to do the anthem singing!

Good point, most of them are deaf so noise isn't an issue! Not like fans are going to be in the retirement complex.

They can't wait to give the football club another kicking. The Ricoh, which of course is out of town and not very accessible by public transport has 2K parking spaces. A quick count up in the city centre shows over 8K parking spaces. There's the park and ride as well, which is another 500...

Had a trawl through the old thread and found them The Den has a 20,146 capacity. 20,520 capacity at the Liberty Stadium.

Spot on, no matter what the legal position it was 100% wrong to move Wasps to Coventry. Personally I don't really see what the problem was with letting ACL go into administration. Prior to the loan being made what was CCC's exposure here? Not a lot, they only put £10m into the build and still...

It's laughable really. Their 'exclusive' is revealing what was said by CRFC publicly. Are we really expected to believe there was absolutely nothing to Reid's story but now all of a sudden, out of the blue, exactly the same story is true?

I know we all, understandably, default to things like this being BS as SISU are involved but maybe this is the time for some positivity. Things are looking up on the playing side and there seems to be more long term planning. Why not get behind this and put pressure on the likes of SISU and CCC...

Posted a couple of pics on the old Butts thread cutting other stadiums out from Google Maps and moving them to the Butts site. It could be done, it would be tight but thats what architects are for.

I'm really struggling to see a valid reason for this. Think we need an explanation from the council. Anderson has been saying all options will be considered not just ownership.

Some people on here will owe Les Reid an apology. He does seem to have an annoying habit of turning out to be right after everyone has laughed at him for making things up. Well that's a surprise isn't it. Equally surprising.

Indeed, and if you read Mowbray's actual quotes he's not really saying he's giving them a chance to impress and win a contract. Just that if they aren't sorted they can train with us so they get a pre-season and maintain fitness.
