Probably us, yes, and I'm assuming it's to do with the SISU/Anderson partnership.

Wasps are going to change their name to "Coventry wasps" and then bugger off to ground share at the New Plough Lane with Wimbledon.

That's my guess, anyway, it seems the most feasible scenario. As for what it actually is, I wouldn't like to commit.

Wouldn't you need to see where it actually is first? If for example its in Ansty near the business park does it really matter if it is one side of an invisible line or not?

Ansty is far away. I live next to ricoh so for selfish reasons obv I love ricoh. But I went Highfield.road too. But Ansty? Too far I say.

Ok obviously I'd go to some games a season but not majority like I do now.

I think it makes sense to see where it is before making a judgement.

If there is a suitable option with Coventry from a business perspective. It makes more sense to forget about a petty fuede and think about the pound signs. However I think the council said there wasn't one. If they look at the demographics of the supporter base Hinckley would be a very risky move.
Barker Butts if in anyway possible would need to be an 18k stadium minimum if the playing side continues to allowed to be ran in this fashion.

They're going to give TM some more money for January. It's the only logical announcement.

Yeah, if it's 2 foot over the city boundary, wouldn't it be very odd for a fan to say he's not going any more?

Barker butts is a small rugby club, coundon road ground isn't there now.

Where are you suggesting playing? The flats in coundon, the small rugby club that would be like a football's copsewood or at the butts?

No I made a typo and put the Barkers in front of the Butts (out of habit) Which you pointed it out and asked if I have ever been there.
I have played rugby for Barkers Butts so yes I have played at their field and bern in the club house.
I have also been to Bakers Butts Lane and Coundon Road Stadium just after Barkers Butts Lane.

Any move to locate our home ground an inch outside the city boundary should be resisted with the whole might of our fan base in the way someone like our late messiah Jimmy Hill with his full faculties would have done.

I would be happy with either of them
As long as it's a stadium that reflects the what should be the real ambitions of the club.
Not 15k and whack the prices up if we climb the divisions. As some crazy man on here suggested.

Clearly another typo, but do you mean you have been in the clubhouse, or you were born in the clubhouse? If the latter, your mum must have been a big rugby fan

Would it not be best to asked the fans before committing to a sight.
Or at least ask where fans would travel giving several scenarios.
I would probably go to Ansty M6 J2 but would not go to Hinckley, Kenilworth or Rugby towns at all.

What do people think is the reason for the delay in explaining any progress on the stadium? My opinion is it is all getting delayed whilst the legal action is happening.
