Well yeah, that's what I wondered, but from the aerial view on that map it looks almost exactly the same size area as the Butts.

I go past it regularly and there is nothing built there. It's an empty space.

Yep. Land was contaminated round Foleshill. Cleared that up, built the Ricoh. Then it got contaminated by Wasps.

Not a bad choice, Daz. I am on the Cathedral City Cheddar Baked Bites.

For anyone wondering about this location, it's opposite the Belgrade Plaza car park, on the other side of the ring road, down from the fire station. Radford Road to the right, Abbott's Lane above and St. Osburg's to the left.

Brilliant! Exactly where I mean. Cheers, Dave. Looks a very similar size to the Butts and it's been wasteland for years now and it's right in the city centre. Why hasn't anyone suggested this before?

As I say, Dave. Look at the link in my post. That looks a very similar size to the Butts. From that ariel view you can compare the two. It is the opposite side to Wickes, opposite Belgrade Plaza. When you come round the ring road from the direction of the train station, past Earlsdon turn, past...

Cheers for that CJ. That's brilliant. You can't do that for the piece of land I highlighted could you? The area just down from the fire station. :)

Well I just looked and from an aerial view it looks a similar size to the Butts. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/search/ring+road+coventry+junction+9/@52.4083509,-1.5246839,1141m/data=!3m1!1e3 You can see the Butts on the left. Look just above where it says Belgrade Plaza car park.

How big is the area by the old gas place down from Radford Road in the centre? Do you know where I mean? You come down Radford Road towards the ring road, past the fire station and it's on the right under the ring road. The reason I mention this is because I remember reading the fire station...

Yep, unfortunately there is a degree of snobbery too. Rugby is acceptable, but we don't want those horrible football hoodlums.

It's usually open if there's stuff on, Daz.

Yep agree. I think they will look at it and see that it is just not feasible. It would need major road reconstruction just for starters.

Well yeah, but a 25,000 seater stadium fitting in there and their being allowed to build it are two separate things. I just don't think the location there could possibly handle 25,000 fans. Can be busy round there now with no game on at all.

Again Dave, it is not about building a 30,000 seater stadium, it is about having the scope to expand to that if needed.

That sounds like the editorial team at the Daily Mail.

But again, no-one has said we will get in the Premier League. The whole argument is in terms of limiting your options in having a stadium not equipped for the Premier. I don't believe anyone would build a stadium without any aspiration one day. Just can't see any point in building a stadium...

We be happy with mid-table Championship for now wouldn't we? 4 or 5 seasons in the Championship and then see where we are.

I watched Wasps today. First time ever. Obviously wnated them to lose so was rooting for Exeter. Perfect!!

Next weekend there is an artisan fayre, so it will be busier.
