    Butts park arena?

    Are you referring to the meeting Fisher had with RBC to supposedly persuade them to allow a stadium to be built there? "There are investors interested, so long as the physical resource is outside of Coventry due to Coventry Council attempting a hostile takeover of the club they don’t wish to...

    Butts park arena?

    We go to some grounds that are pretty much up a country lane, the Butts is 350 yards from the ring road! A decent traffic management plan and you shouldn't have issues. As for bus and rail pretty much every bus service in the city goes to the city centre, similarly how many trains go to the main...

    No they don't, if they refuse you appeal to the secretary of state.

    Butts park arena?

    How many parking spaces are there at the Emirates or the Etihad for example (I have no idea but not a huge amount I'd suggest). It seems like people are trying to create issues for us that haven't been a problem for anyone else.

    Butts park arena?

    Firmly in Wasps arse by the sound of it. I'm struggling to think of any valid reason for such a clause. Look forward to an explanation from CCC.

    Butts park arena?

    I'd be happy with 15K with a definite plan as to how it could go up to 25K. Ricoh is 32K of which 6K are away, even without allowing for the ridiculous segregation that's straight away down to 26K home fans. You only have to provide 10% of capacity so in a 25K stadium we could have 22.5K home...

    This thread is really showing how some place more importance on being anti SISU than they do being supportive of CCFC.

    Butts park arena?

    Doesn't bother me in the slightest but its not a great way to operate when he's supposed to be accountable. Fair enough if it was abuse but why not just answer the points raised?

    Butts park arena?

    I thought nobody went to the city centre anymore, now there's not a spare space to be had out of 8,000? BTW, i only did a quick sum of car parks with 15 mins walk of the Butts, I wouldn't count any of those as being too far away. In any case how often are all 3K parking spaces at the Ricoh sold...

    Butts park arena?

    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.

    Butts park arena?

    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!

    Butts park arena?

    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...

    Coventry Blaze

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

    Butts park arena?

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

    Butts park arena?

    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...
