Turf Moor was opened in 1883, newsflash it is 2016, things have changed.

None of it really adds up, anyone who accepts the Butts plan at face value must be a fool. There are genuine issues concerning access, parking, ownership, and most importantly capacity. Furthermore where is the money coming from to expand from 15,000, it is a huge leap of faith in my opinion to...

Great overtime for plod. There were dozens of them in town.

Just as likely as the statements made about building a stadium in 3 years, about never coming back to the Ricoh and about moving the Academy out of the Higgs centre etc. etc. Lots of aggressive talk but never any action, its all posture to delay matters while legals proceeding continue, they'll...

Too much air resistance when he goes for a save.

It has just emerged that the clubs owners are seeking to appeal their latest court defeat. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-city-fc-owners-appeal-11364456 Is this wise, is this what is wanted, is this what is needed. Whatever your reasons, do you say yes or no?

I think SISU could give a master class on that topic.

I've spoken to him too & I fully concur. :sorry:

I heard that they discovered there were 35 employees of the airport on a terrorism watch list while doing checks after the Bataclan attack.

Who knows, I wouldn't take either Les Reid or Simon Gilbert's word as gospel. There is probably enough room on that site to build a new pool and retain the old indoor pitch, but unless there is a long term deal in place there is no security. With SISU everything appears short term, I've always...

So one must conclude Steve is insane :)

And another side to the story.... http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/alan-higgs-centre-bosses-say-11359256

I don't think CCFC will revive till SISU are gone, why would anyone want to deal with them with the threat of constant litigation. They have dragged the club down.

I was just going to say that, makes it very difficult to get through and search. I like 50 posts per page!

Les should be on the Referendum scare story team.

The problem with the Ricoh is that the average crowd is too small but there is no seamless way of making the capacity seem smaller on those occasions. One would hope designers would have learned their lesson and build in a way of dealing with the problem. I think MK have a strategy of closing...

1970, the Butts & surrounding area is low lying and quite close to the river, so drainage becomes a bigger issue should the pitch be lowered, this is simple engineering. I'm not saying it is impossible but I'm pointing out it makes it more expensive.

Its not as if its in an area that is prone to flooding is it? Oh shit!

If SISU want to build a stadium near the City Centre then they need a bigger site than the Butts with better road links & parking nearby. A few days back you floated the idea of putting one on the edge of the precinct replacing some of the underused retail capacity, which was quite imaginative...
