Its pretty much our last straw of hope now for a better future, get promoted and just aim to survive relegation every year, tread water in the bottom half of the championship and then hope we can fluke a promotion one year like Blackpool or Palace did.We be happy with mid-table Championship for now wouldn't we?
4 or 5 seasons in the Championship and then see where we are.
They reckon they could get a 25k stadium in there, they've obviously drew up the plans and looked at it in more detail than anyone here.Just can't see any point in building a stadium for League One football and without having to sound like a broken record, I like many others have very serious doubts we would ever be allowed to have a 25,000 seater stadium at the Butts.
.
Well yeah, but a 25,000 seater stadium fitting in there and their being allowed to build it are two separate things.They reckon they could get a 25k stadium in there, they've obviously drew up the plans and looked at it in more detail than anyone here.
So for now I will take their words over a bunch of people who are just guessing and trying to push there own agenda on here.
The sad point is that to get a 30k stadium it would not be in the cov boundaries so unless people are prepared for that then this will never happen.
Personally I would rather have a full 25k stadium at the butts and have that demand problem rather than have a half empty black and yellow stadium that we would never fill and don't own. I think realistically the butts move won't go ahead, ccc will put blockers on it at some point on a planning perspective and I don't think cov rugby will be willing to give it a go
Again, the oaps moved into a location with a stadium next to it.It's not just the traffic that's the issue. 350 OAPs are about to move in next door and Earlsdon has one of the more rabid neighbourhood associations.
Build it where Iceland is in Town!

Plus, that place will pump.noise out as well
Its OK, they'll be deaf as doorposts so won't even notice there's a game on!It's not just the traffic that's the issue. 350 OAPs are about to move in next door and Earlsdon has one of the more rabid neighbourhood associations.
Build it where Iceland is in Town, instead of City Centre South!

There's a difference between 1,506 average attendance and 12,570.
Also, it's :nailbiting: FOOTBALL FANS!
Where that Mario.looking building was? Not that bigHow big is the area by the old gas place down from Radford Road in the centre? Do you know where I mean? You come down Radford Road towards the ring road, past the fire station and it's on the right under the ring road.
The reason I mention this is because I remember reading the fire station wanted to move too, thus creating a bigger area there.
They would have to do a system for selling tickets with a smaller capacity. There would be season tickets, memberships and then somebody like yourself who does go a lot should then get preference over Dave from Bedworth who just wants to go and see Eden Hazard.
With Ticketmaster now, there is a lot more power to do things properly I think.
Clique how? It would be the same for any club wouldn't it?Basically .... I'm fooked because I live abroad - means nothing to those in the clique of course ...

What type of train is it , diesel, electric, steam, how fast is it going, how many cariidges is it pulling,Quick bit of googling. As the ground is right next to a train line thought I'd compare. Trains seem to be in the region of 83 - 97 decibels. Emirates Stadium is in the top 10 loudest in the country and is 77 decibels. Found another report that states a 40K crowd at 60 - 65 decibels.
No they don't. The 25000 maybe Extension only came after the fans reaction last time. It remains 15000 approved for a Rugby club.They reckon they could get a 25k stadium in there, they've obviously drew up the plans and looked at it in more detail than anyone here.

What happens if cov rfc got promoted?

That must be the biggest branch of Iceland in the world if you think we'd fit a stadium in there!
Not sure if this has been posted already but hopefully this gives us some idea of the rough size of the relevant areas. No matter which way the pitch is, fitting in a four sided ground would be difficult. In fact worryingly the footprint of the Ricoh bowl is double the size of the footprint of the BPA itself. I very much doubt any of the rest of the site is suitable due to the train line and the flats.View attachment 5216 View attachment 5218 View attachment 5217
Do you mean by Wickes? Don't think they want to move more that they've been told to move into a combined centre with the police.The reason I mention this is because I remember reading the fire station wanted to move too, thus creating a bigger area there.

That wouldn't be big enough even with the extra land.
The only option I see (if we rule the Butts out) for the city centre is to knock something down. Best bet would be if you imagine a line continuing from New Union St coming out on the empty land next to Iceland. That would create a square with Greyfriars Road and Corporation Street that's the perfect size. You could include office space in the build to bring in revenue and move the stores being knocked down into empty units elsewhere in the city centre.
Would link up well with the work going on near the station.
It isn't as simple as that Nick. Look at a case involving Mildenhall Stadium which is a motorsport venue. A couple moved into a house a couple of miles up the road and promptly started complaining about noise etc.
That law changed a few months back. Now if you build next to something its down to the developer to put in sound proofing. You can't complain about noise at a later date.
The key here would be how much louder a football crowd would be and for how long. For example the Ricoh can hold concerts as its not all day every day. Same could apply to crowd noise.
Does Maton have a comment of his own to quote?What was Councillir Maton's comments about this project?
Keepmoat stadium has a lot more room around it and another outer city project.Also meant to post this as the Keepmoat, which has a capacity of 15300 is more relevant to this project. View attachment 5219
