There's a Christopher West that's a former director of IEC. Same Chris West that was at the council? Appreciate it's a common name.

Seems a good guy from the brief conversations I had with him earlier in the year (and I'm no Tory lover, apart from you of course G).

He's still chairman of the football club, so of course he'll be involved.

Wouldn't surprise me.

They've asked us in the past not to do things through the press, but doesn't leave us much option when they just ignore us.

They've just completely ignored us, to be honest. Annoyed me somewhat when they came out in the press suggesting Joy had instigated this as a diversion, despite them constantly ignoring us. Pleased that Simon Gilbert called them out on it. We've sent our follow on questions for him to chase, and...

Fair point. High 20's at least.

Need to figure things out. I've got quite a lot on at the moment, but also pointless asking some of these questions until we're in a position to get answers. I'll try to sort through and separate out those that could be answered now and those that will be down the line.

I'm not sure we need 30k capacity personally.

Depends if there is land cost. Will ask question about cost/budget though. I've got a lot of catching up to do on this thread it seems!

Bump

Have you been to Rotherham? It's a decent stadium.

The same day as CCFC. https://warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/pressreleases/joint_statement_by_coventry_city_football_club_and_the_university_of_warwick1

Some good questions in there. One question for you is where has the £120m figure come from? What we don't know is if there will be a land cost, but in terms of build cost there are a couple of recent examples.... Rotherham - £20m Shrewsbury - £11m Ours will be bigger than those but...

I love the fan village idea, it's something I'd love to see. I've got some examples.

Yep, a few people have said similar. I think this is important but need to get the timing right. Too many updates with nothing will get tedious but they need to be regular.

Great question. I think that's the plan, but I'll ask the question officially.

FFS, I've edited twice now, added a load of questions then refreshed before hitting save. Some good questions, will update when I get chance tomorrow before I launch the laptop.

This would still need planning permission. The build stage isn't the problem, Rotherham built their ground in a year, it's everything before that. Can ask if there are possibilities of other sites closer to home considering the timeframes.

I can probably answer this from conversations I've had the last few days - not really. Whilst it's probably true there were discussions back then, they were looking at a different sites back in February. I think this possibility has maybe come back round. Either way, not sure dwelling on the...
