Do you mean us as a football club or as people?
We will still be at the Ricoh for another 8-10 years even if we build a new stadium, you keep talking about lack of aspirations so, I'm asking you where you think we will be in 5 years time at the Ricoh under a similar arrangements to what we have now?

We are doing really well at the minute though, 15k would be enough I think.
Then if we got to the Championship it could be increased.
It is down to ease of additional capacity that it could be done in a pre season if we got promoted.
Who will own the new stadium ? What will our rent be ? What incomes will the stadium owners let us have access to ?

Are you a genius ?
No actually, where do we want to be ?
If it's L1 then yes it's big enough but count me out on lack of ambition.
In fact when the stadiums built in 5 years where will we be ?
If it's L1 somethings gone wrong.

Compared to you? Yes, definitely.
You may be, you just don't act it.
Start taking notes and I'll get you there.

FFS the butts is too small, it's hemmed in by a road, a railway line and a soon to be completed retirement village. I think Les Reid must be laughing his moobs off. Unless Anderson told him I would take it with a pinch of salt, and I don't think Anderson has told him anything. Remember when we talked about the good football we are playing and how much better the atmosphere is at the ricoh this season, how easily it is derailed.
Fact is, you don't need to be a genius to do the maths but still this is beyond you.

I don't think it is happening, but wouldn't mind 15k for League one on the basis it was easily upgraded based on promotions.

Yeah agree, 15,000 for where we are now is fine. But if the ground would take a couple of years to complete, then wouldn't we be expecting to be in the Championship by then and then 15,000 wouldn't be enough.
All fine if a 15,000 seater stadium could just be conjured up now for us, but it won't work like that unfortunately. If we're looking to move up the leagues, which is what the club and TM are surely looking to do, then to move into a much, much smaller capacity ground circa 12,000 would be madness.
We seem ambitious at the moment to get of this league. I'll be bitterly, bitterly disappointed if we're not in the Championship in 2 years.
15,000 would be ideal for us now, this minute in League 1 and nowhere else.
The Butts is too small.
I like big butts and a cannot lie
Would nobody else rather a smaller stadium with our branding, our colours, our history that's near enough full every week than one a bit bigger that is black and gold and covered in Wasps stuff and half empty?
But if the stadium planned easily easily upgradeable they would surely start the build with promotion in mind and if it was the case we did they would just build it with more seats?

Yes me, navy and sky blue seats and history all around the ground of both CCFC and CRFC, make me proud to be a Coventrian, and there is ample room to accomadate a 25000 stadium which I think would suit us ok!
Yeah I suppose, I just see some of the comments and can see it going the way it did in the sixfields days. It's that Les Reid he makes me nervous.Can people not talk about multiple things though?
ie this news came out today / yesterday so people are talking about it, we have a game on Saturday people will be talking about (well, most anyway), we will then be talking about the result and performance etc.
Not falling for it.
Where is the ample room? I just can't see it. how on earth could a 25,000 capacity stadium be accommodated there? And there's a retirement village right smack bag next to it as it stands too.
Very little room there as soon as they started building round the Butts.
Well, it will never happen. Even SISU are not confirming it. They let Rob S and Les Reid put their reputations on the block in some sort of tactical ploy. More lmportant is CA's meeting with Wasps. He needs figures to make a comparison of renting from Wasps or renting from SISU's stadium investors.

Everyone saying the area is too small. Think outside the box. The rows can go directly up rather than back like steps.

Falling for what? Why are people so desperate for it to be the Ricoh or nothing?
