But none of that would apply to a greenfield site less than 2 miles from the Ricoh? Why would there be ecological issues building on a site in Coventry? Most sites in Coventry would see a new stadium being built of industrial land no longer in use, are you saying that all those sites will now be...

Where did Coventry City Council state they would not allow another stadium in Coventry? They can't turn down a planning application without a valid reason and 'we don't like SISU' is not a valid reason. Even if CCC did turn it down the appeal process would take it out of the hands of CCC. Why...

What's the actual law here, is it just an outright if someone is unarmed you can't shoot them or is it more complex than that. Do they take into account things like the police feeling they are in imminent danger, police having reason to belive someone is armed? At the end of the day I'm not...

Found this online: EIR is the term for allowed exceptions. They could make an exception for commercial sensitivity but that would have to relate to specific points and they would have to justify when that exemption applies and why it isn't in the public interest to release the information...

I get that it's only a few minutes away from the Ricoh but for me the motorway is the point at which I would consider no longer being in the city, not sure how many others will think the same but there's no way I would class that as being in Coventry. Anyway if they can't get planning...

How do you know if they've done something if it's behind the scenes? So far we've had them produce an artists impression which looked incredibly similar to the artists impression produced by the same person for Brentford just with blue seats instead of red. The chap who did it said in the CT it...

Not sure there's that much too it. Trust we're being questioned on why they hadn't released the results, they said they were waiting for one response people said publish what you've got. Once the Trust issued a press release the CT might as well release their story or they have no story - it...

Think the Trust need to pressure N&B council. Found this on gov.uk: You should receive the information within 20 working days. If the organisation needs more time, they will contact you and tell you when you can expect the information. Some sensitive information might not be available to...

Hard to say for sure until it happens, which it won't, but my current feeling is that if we move to the other side of the motorway we're no longer a Coventry team. If we were moving because it was essential and there were no other options maybe I could accept it but that's not the case.

Where is the city boundary? Wouldn't that site be so close to the city that CCC would be involved due to traffic flow, potential infrastructure changes etc?

You're more trusting than me! I won't believe it until it's built and we're playing there. To be honest I thought they would have purchased a piece of land by now. That's relatively easy to do and is unlikely to go down significantly in value. Thought it would be an easy way for them to try and...

That didn't make sense to me either but I just assumed I was missing something but on the face of it if you can't get permission for a community centre there's no chance of getting it for a football stadium. Wonder if someone from the trust could contact NT and get their thoughts on this.

That's just a report on the SBT press release isn't it? Not clear if the quote from N&B council is a response to the FOI request or just a random quote from someone they've spoken to before running the story, if it's the latter it's meaningless.

would NT want that? how big are their crowds?

wasn't really a moan just wondered if they'd put the numbers of tickets per ST up to try and annoy people. I haven't been a ST holder since 1991 / 92 so doesn't really matter to me!

has it always been 4 tickets per season ticket? Seems high to me. Why would season ticket holders need more than one ticket anyway, wouldn't you go to an away game with the same people you go to Sixfields with who presumably all have season tickets as well?

It's Les Reids secret identity :p

I hope its something that's actually newsworthy and not some SISU BS that's been rushed out after they've seen the trusts statement today. Although if there is just one site to be pinpointed why don't SISU just say where it is?

by working hard does he mean having a look on here and deciding it must be in N&B?!

Not really, we already know Fisher and Labovich are lying so even if it does turn out they've spoken to N&B that's a long way from a new stadium being built. They've got to find a suitable site, buy it, get plans drawn up, get planning permission, get funding, put it out to tender and select a...
