How far from the boundary is it? Hate to piss on people’s chips but it’s my understanding that on developments within a certain buffer the neighbouring council gets to weigh in.

Boom! Love it when signings make sense and fit a clear pattern. That’s the last “must have” piece of the puzzle I’d say. CB and DM cover would be nice and really we need a ST, but for the first 11 I’d say we are OK even if not where we want to be. No glaring holes in the squad. Dadashov in at...

You’d have thought so. I really hope it helps the links with my old school (now Westwood Academy) as well, the ex teacher in me gets quite excited at the idea of PE departments helped by pro football clubs. Something I’ve always wanted is more uni/school sport with a higher profile. I love the...

OK. Clearly you’re on one today. Have a goodun. I’ll talk to you when you come down.

Trying to work out the business case from Warwicks end here though, why not just build and operate their own? Bringing in a supermarket makes sense when it’s outside money looking for locations. If Warwick want student housing on their own land there’s nothing stopping them. I think it’s more...

Mate. You’re literally replying to any post about scepticism. You’re doing it in this post where you claim you aren’t with insults and all I’ve done is say it’s understandable that people might not buy into it 100% straight away. You started ranting about the council and the Butts out of nowhere...

Yes it could be that. Or it could be that they, as an events and catering company, want a slice of the events and catering income. Both are equally plausible until we know more. I think having their expertise on board is a good thing, same as rumours Sisu wanted was it AEG if they got the...

Guess it depends on your default position. I can totally understand that if someone bullshits you for six years you might have reason to be cautious about their future promises. I believe the Brothers Grimm write on this topic. People seem to be jumping on anyone that doesn’t take this as proof...

Sometimes Nick, I used hyperbole for effect. But lots in this thread talking about “F&B without Wasps taking anything”. Just pointing out that Warwick will want their pound of flesh too, they’re a commercial enterprise and not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. They have a huge...

What have they gained from stringing us along for the last six? Time for legal avenues to play out without a peasants revolt.

Was more the F&B/events I was talking about. Warwick aren’t exactly noobs at that game.

Get some of thag sweet Upper Middle Class Warwick and Leam dollar though!

Yeah I agree. It’s another promise of jam tomorrow after six+ years of broken promises. But come on, enjoy the speculation for what it is.

It’ll be the BetFair Arena Sponsored By Vagisil and you’ll like it!

Hang on. Why the assumption Warwick Uni are just going to hand over some land and not want anything in return be it rent or access to ancillary revenues? They are a major player in events and related catering already. I wouldn’t expect them to just step aside and let us make all the profit.

She’s nothing to do with the council.

Hard to judge though isn’t it? Five years a long time in football. Who would seriously have had us back in the Championship on the up four/five years ago? We could build an 18k ground and be back in L2 playing to 7k, or could be promoted and need 30k+ to fit the bandwagon in. Glad it’s not me...

I like that idea (obvs Id be getting tickets right?) but genuine question: can we run a competitive Championship side on 18k attendances? If so then let’s do it.

Would be interesting to run the numbers on how many big crowds we get in the Championship vs how much it costs to have the bigger ground. Annoyingly for stadium planners we seem to have 12-15k regular support then another 20k+ who will turn up three or four times a season. 18k then borrow the...
