I think that must be it as nothing on that picture looks modular. Problem with that is the ground will look unfinished for years. Surely it would work out cheaper to put all the seats in at once and just cover those not needed like they did in the corners at the Rioch. Added bonus that if you...

He's just a businessman employeed by SISU. You would never see him at a Coventry game if he wasn't paid to be there. That said you don't have to be a fan to work somewhere, I've seen a job at Southampton I might apply for and I'm not suddenly going to start supporting Saints. The question would...

Sorry, that ended up being a bit of a rant and a lot longer than I intended it to be!

For a couple of hours yesterday I was quite excited and thought we might actually be getting some good news but this just seems like something that's been knocked up quickly as a response to the articles on the survey results. An artist’s impression is meaningless, at the very least we need...

Didn't the football league say they hadn't seen any of this?

Just to change the subject for a minute here's the full details of Pompey's new ground which will replace Fratton Park http://www.dezeen.com/2007/04/27/portsmouth-fc-by-herzog-de-meuron/ It's due to open in 2012 :D

No they haven't, in June Fisher said in a couple of weeks we would have all the details - plans, location etc. We're now 6 months into a 3 year project and there's no plans, just an artists impression, there's no site, and we're told that is now months away, they've not even applied for planning...

That's all going to depend on location. Out in the middle of nowhere with a few thousand people turning up every other Saturday (possibly with little or no public transport links) will never be prime retail land. The difference with the Ricoh site is that it was previously contamintated land...

I doesn't look like a design where they will be adding a tier or anything like that so I can only assume the starting lower capacity is going to be down to not filling everywhere with seats (MK Don's and Brighton did this), which would mean the extra seating could be put in fairly quickly but to...

I am now I've got to work!

To me it's not the physical distance or how easy it is to get there (it's quicker and easier for me to get to Sixfields than the Ricoh, doesn't mean I'm going to go). It's all down to what I feel is acceptable as close enough to Coventry which is something you can't really say until they make an...

He owes me a new laptop, I got so wound up listening to him it went flying across the room and is now in pieces.

This was my thinking and if it does turn out to be designs for the Fisher Stadium this hasn't been a good way to go about it as it's just going to be an anti climatic disappointment for most people compared to rumours of coming back to the Ricoh. Had they just put them up on the website some...

Well I was getting a bit excited now I'm not. Said in another thread early just showing plans without any land purchase was meaningless. If they're not going to purchase land until they get planning permission doesn't that leave them open to someone buying the land during that process? Can't...

Embargo's aren't that uncommon when releasing news stories are they? Isn't it just done so that everyone gets to announce at the same time and nobody is seen to be getting special treatment. That said the fact that it is embargoed indicates its something bigger than a story they would just stuck...

At the very least it would have to be plans and a purchase of the land. Just releasing plans for a ground hardly anyone thinks will be built wouldn't be classed as big news would it? Maybe enough for the CT to try and hype a big story but we've got CWR, CT and ITV all hyping it up.

Did they actually phrase it regarding the ground issues? That to me sounds like the Ricoh is involved more than if they'd said regarding the new ground. Home for Boxing Day? Wouldn't that be a nice Xmas present (and also mean I'd have to change all my plans to be back in Cov on Boxing Day)...

There's an article from him dated yesterday, nothing today but then that doesn't really show you anything. He might just have a day off!

We've been down the no one will buy us road before yet other people do seem interested as shown when we were in admin. Assuming SISU don't liquidate us out of spite then I thinkthe worst case scenario would see a consortium of local business / wealthy fans grouping together to take over the...

If he has gone then it will more likley be for the way he's been responding to people on twitter. Didn't the last editor of the Telegraph get the push for having a go a people on twitter? Can't see it being for anything he's published as an editor must have to approve that first unless what...
