A caller on CWR last night said.. "Northampton is easy to get to", "Highfield Road was easy to get to", "Ricoh Arena is a nightmare to get to".. can someone explain his logic, cause I sure don't understand..

"Northampton is easy to get to", "Highfield Road was easy to get to", "Ricoh Arena is a nightmare to get to".. can someone explain his logic, cause I sure don't understand.. I don't think he had a considered opinion on the siteing of proposed new stadium, except I'd be willing to bet he thinks it is 'easy to get to'.. wherever..
Never understood the whole HR was easy to get to thing. I remember being sat in horrendous traffic jams up there.
It was easy to get too.
It was easy to get too.
Then why did me and my dad have to park the car nearly a mile away up by barras heath?
Same as the Ricoh is.
Father used to take me into town on the bus and we would walk from there piece of piss.
Obviously not according to some people.
Bus along Foleshill Road then walk piece of piss.

yes but travelling 30 odd miles is easier give me a break
What's the difference between that and getting on the bus to the Ricoh?
I never found either particularly difficult to get to, and be it HR, the Ricoh, or Sixfields, accessibity has never influenced by decision to go or not go.
Nah my dad used to take me for Breakie in town
Never get the planning permission for two stadiums so close.
It does happen - I live near where there is a Wickes, Homebase...& until the recent past a Do-it-all within 200yds of each other. Why not with stadiums too?
What was the size of these DIY shops.
And what if you had 2 events on at the same time.
I work in Leicester and when the Bruce Springstein concert was on the roads were at a stand still I left home in Finham at 4.00 and was not in work until 6,30 usually takes me 40 minutes?
So would the Ricoh cancel a exhibition or concert for a game of football being played up the road? I think not.
It will not be in the a Rugby district area.
As before, rejections of planning permissions can be overruled by the current government. See Tesco, Sainsbury etc with their endless reapplications. Don't underestimate Sisus determination if they want to build a stadium. Would SISU ignore local objections...I think so. The retailers keep upping the ante by offering more and more sweeteners to the Council. If you take Warwick Uni as an example, I would imagine most of the objectors are in Coventry but the stadium would come under Kenilworth. Retailers fund the scheme and with the Uni there I think you would get a full retail take up. The council income would increase which makes it attractive to them. This is all without the HS2 bollocks. I must point out I am playing the devils advocate and want the city back at the Ricoh. Can't believe I am writing this when city are at home.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?

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.....
Steve I would love to know why a Council that would sell its own mum for 10p would not entertain a stadium on its patch, the same council that seems to allow most planning applications on its patch regardless of the locals thoughts.
You plan for different days. Even if one stadium was the other side of Coventry.
Like, I believe, the Cardiff Rugby stadium is actually attached to the Millenium stadium.
Why did you use J3 instead of J2?
