So with the anger of the state of the congestion around Warwick Uni has that put a spanner in the works for yet another area being used for the new Ground?
(Cov Tele Friday)

Brandon ruled out Warwick Uni ruled out?

How many more sites does that leave?

So with the state of our roads there cannot be many sites that can accommodate our 60 acre site.

The only ones I can think of are the A444 but that already has a stadium on it, and maybe off the A 45 or 46.....

Gint11 · Dec 28, 2013

The site on the A45 would suit surely?

Ashdown1 · Dec 28, 2013

Not happening, even discussing it is tantamount to believing the hedge fund lies !

Could be anywhere Bedworth Nuneaton or May be further away just outside the coventry area

Gynnsthetonic · Dec 28, 2013

The common denominator is if a new stadium happens it has to be in Coventry and pref as near to city centre as possible after all we are Coventry City.
Christmas time brings it all home as you realise how much you miss long lost loved ones.

Between Wilsons Lane, Longford and A444, looks favourite.
In Warwickshire and Only 200 yds from Ricoh as well.

I'll settle for that.

Philosoraptor · Dec 28, 2013

Never get the planning permission for two stadiums so close.

Astute · Dec 28, 2013

It seems to me that they have only gone for locations they know they won't get planning permission. This way they will never have to lay a brick whilst trying to get the Ricoh for well under value.

Whole area nearly went for housing some years ago but they stopped at Makro. Just the right size and next to M6.

All pie in the sky I know but hey, lets all have a go !!! It's not limited to Sisu.

mighty quinn · Dec 28, 2013

Never happen

ajsccfc · Dec 28, 2013

More people should point out that this definitely won't happen and that the Ricoh Arena is there.

skybluetony176 · Dec 28, 2013

Like astute said. All the sites being speculated about are ones with no chance off planning permission. Still, at least we can rely on our owners for clarity on where the real locations are.

What's the betting that next time Timmy has a fan's forum the distance from the city centre goes up again? Didn't it start at 6 miles from the city centre, then last time it was 9 but if the ideal site becomes available a couple of miles further we will consider it.

I raise you 15. Any takers.

if he's said 9 then it's unlikely to be somewhere closer isn't it? If it was he would have given a lower number. Of course if depends where they're taking as the starting point, didn't they say it was distance from the council house or have I imagined that? If so someone knock up a map that shows 9 miles from there, then you should be able to see what 60 acre sites are that sort of distance away and you have your answer.

moleyskyblue · Dec 28, 2013

Go on google for ansty and you will see a piece of land between central boulevard, M6 and M69 and A46. This is a large piece of land away from residential area and just off the m6 and m69 , road encircles the whole area.I think british land used to or still own the land around there.just a thought

Comes under Rugby Council, it's not going to be there.

The problem comes if Sisu really want to develop the land around it. This means that it will need a footfall of customers for say a retail park.
If it's not near Coventry then it will need to be near to some other relatively large town. Kenilworth ? Leamington ?

Not going to happen, Just have to wait for Sisu if people can be bothered.

And there is the big flaw in the plan. They want revenues from non match day activities which requires a complex that has additional facilities and is in a decent location. Things like big box retail sites are struggling even with decent locations, they aren't going to get many stores wanting to open on a site in the middle of nowhere. Leisure facilities will have a similar problem, what could they build that doesn't already exist in the city and how would they persuade people it was worth travelling the extra distance rather than use those closer by.

letsallsingtogether · Dec 28, 2013

Exactly the new Warwickshire shopping complex by B & Q in Binley is only a 3rd occupied and although they have big retailers there they are struggling to fill the rest the market is saturated with these type of sites they have missed the boat on that one...

And the Ricoh's own fitness club died a death because of location.

Sounds familiar.

Dead right chief. was about to post exactly the same. The picture released shows none of this and yet it is obvious that a football club cannot remain competitive with only attendances every fortnight.

That's where, however, a football club to drive sale traffic through helps.

Why not apparently Leicester do they make millions apparently Grendel said so? that is just for their xmas parties.:thinking about:

That site is inside the Coventry boundary..

PS And if you look on google maps it is full up already.. no room

elephanttears · Dec 28, 2013

Not that i think a stadium will be built but im sure there is a load of land available at ansty business park just off the A46 and it is under rugby council.

Steve.B50 · Dec 28, 2013

It will not be in the a Rugby district area.

Mr T - Sukka! · Dec 28, 2013

No plans.
No land purchased.
No site.
No planning applications.

Hobo · Dec 28, 2013

There are no sites....near Coventry

letsallsingtogether · Dec 28, 2013

But plenty in Northamptonshire?

Not going to happen, Just have to wait for Sisu if people can be bothered.

And if a large retail park is near Coventry then Coventry Council can legitimately object.

Nuneaton and Bedworth borough objected (unsuccessfully) about the size of Arena Tesco on the grounds it would entice shoppers away from Bedworth Town Centre.

Nice little ground sitting empty right now just over the border in Leicestershire.

True but it would require an Act of Parliament.
