Maybe 22 would be enough for HR 2 and an AldiNow Aston Martin aren't interested, maybe the club should be offered the heavily discounted land? It would need a better access road though!
Surely 22 acres is enough?
The Ricoh is 40, but does that include Tesco too?

Good shout re Browns Lane. I'm sure there is a proposed access road linking the Tamworth rd at the Royal Court to the new industrial estate at the Old Kersley pit. Not sure Allesley Village will be too happy with football fans clogging up their roads every other Saturday. Pubs are in short supply but club could maximise their revenue by providing suitable qualuity on-site bars, not a souless atrium like at the Ricoh.

What was the discounted price being offered to Aston Martin out of interest?

Rather see a new Jaguar factory there
One is going to be built at Whitley between A45 & existing Engineering Centre isn't it?
22 acres is more than enough. You can get your hotel in there and your corporate event hall and conference and function rooms and car park and some retail space.Now Aston Martin aren't interested, maybe the club should be offered the heavily discounted land?

You should learn how to Google stuff
PS Caveat I haven't time to read them now, but at quick glance they appear to be proposals for housing on the old Jag site.
Happy to be corrected if anyone has time to study them more closely.
The stadium part of the Ricoh is under 8 acres. include the Jag hall etc and its around 11.5. Add in the car park and its about 22 acres.
If there's a 22 acre site that now could be available then someone from the club should be straight on the phone.
Do we know exactly where this was going to be?
I have no idea, was just going off this:

Bit of a non story that though, Aston Martin were always going to Wales, allegedly.
Not a manufacturing plant

Coventry is in line to gain thousands of jobs as Jaguar Land Rover prepares to announce the next phase of an estimated £500million investment plan around its Whitley headquarters, the Telegraph can exclusively reveal.
The company is this week expected to unveil plans to occupy half of the 60-acre site on the opposite side of the A45, known as Gateway North, next to Coventry Airport. The other 30-acres is earmarked for top-level JLR suppliers.
The huge project has been in the pipeline ever since The Telegraph revealed the luxury car manufacturer’s long-term plans for the city in March last year - a four-phase project culminating in the return of vehicle manufacturing to Coventry within the next five years.
At that time, the firm invested £20m in doubling the footprint of its Whitley site - expanding its research and development presence to establish the site as the “brains” of the global company.
Are you sure?

Perfect bluff calling opportunity isn't it?You seem to have fallen into the trap of actually believing that the club want to build a new ground.

State aid? Judicial review anybody?
Perfect bluff calling opportunity isn't it?
Don't think the Jag part is a factory might be wrong
Yes we do. Just not in my great, great granddaughter's time.Some of you actually think this stadium is going to be built, don't you?
Genuine question. Why would they do thatOr maybe someone from the council could pick up the phone also? Of course that won't happen though...
