I'm sure it's been covered before on here re new stadiums and acadamies etc., but I have now been there 4 times in the last week and there is absoulutely loads and loads of room, both for the airport itself and for several stadiums too. It's absolutely massive there and so much spare space. It's quite staggering how big it is.
Have the club ever looked there at all?
Having seen the place I would have thought it would have been frequently discussed as a number one identified location.
IF. And it's a big IF, anything is going to happen up there, it'll have dibs on it by JLR.I'm sure it's been covered before on here re new stadiums and acadamies etc., but I have now been there 4 times in the last week and there is absoulutely loads and loads of room, both for the airport itself and for several stadiums too.

That Gateway project could have been a game changer for Coventry, but it was scupperd by AIts in Nimbyland Otis.
Warwick District Council would pretty much put a stop to it before plans had been drawn up.
The Airport never expanded due to WDC, and the Gateway project from Sir Peter Rigby was also rejected.
If one of the Midlands best Entrepreneurs cant get the Gateway completed there is no chance for Fisher and Co.
That'll surely be the JLR extension to Whitley. Doubling the size of Whitley with a purpose built bridge connecting the two sides of the A45.What's the land opposite the airport? Stacks of room there too. Guessing something is going on there or happening as it is all dug up. That stretches all the way alongside the airport road going into Baginton.
Well... Baginton's not exactly idyllic countrified...That Gateway project could have been a game changer for Coventry, but it was scupperd by A

The idea of the city encroaching on their idyllic country lifestyle.

But would *you* want a bloody great business park, and your village connected to Coventry and being subsumed into it? Easy to say if not living there...

You'll get swallowed up at some point,
I may not like the decision if I lived there but the Decision should be reached for the good
of the area in general and not to prevent a few people having their lifestyle interrupted.
But the plan wasnt to build on Green belt though was it?And greenbelt is for the good of all, unless we want to turn into a country of nowt but concrete.
Not just in terms of wellbeing, but also in terms of tourism benefits too...
It was to build on the styrip separating Coventry from baginton, wasn't it?But the plan wasnt to build on Green belt though was it?

Building on land that JLR are now building on?It was to build on the styrip separating Coventry from baginton, wasn't it?
Guess tbf, we could build between Meriden and Coventry and Birmingham, and merge Coventry into Birmingham. To be expected with them so close to each other, after all...

Got to expect it, being so close... and why stand in the way of progress? If you live in Coventry, got to expect being swallowed up by Birmingham.I must have missed the bit where they said "if the gateway project is approved we will swiftly
Move on with the plan to urbanise the green belt between Coventry and Birmingham.

1) It's too far from the City Centre
2) SISU are never going to build a stadium
3) You were one of the ones moaning about the Butts because it didn't have enough pedestrian crossings
NEXT!
Although it isn't going to happen, it's actually closer than the Ricoh.
Nope, I wasn't. I just said it was too small there, not enough space and there would be gridlock.1) It's too far from the City Centre

No, cos everyone on here keeps saying how shit Coventry city centre is and they would never go up.Just build it in Broadgate and be done with it! Easy access for all!
That's because it doesn't have a football ground in it.No, cos everyone on here keeps saying how shit Coventry city centre is and they would never go up.
As soon as it did they would just be moaning about everything else surrounding it.That's because it doesn't have a football ground in it.
Can't remember the people of Walsgrave on Sowe etc being given the choice.Well... Baginton's not exactly idyllic countrified...

No.So let's just live in a country as it was in 1950 despite increasing population?
No.Let's protect the house values of a few retirees so I can raise my kids in overcrowded housing?
We don't.we wouldn't end up with tiny idyllic villages and shit hole towns
So the answer's obvious... move to Scotland!from the BBC...
.... The urban landscape accounts for 10.6% of England, 1.9% of Scotland, 3.6% of Northern Ireland and 4.1% of Wales.
Put another way, that means almost 93% of the UK is not urban. But even that isn't the end of the story because urban is not the same as built on.
Think there will be a pilot scheme first.can't see it taking off i'm afraid
Well CCC voted to become part of Birmingham, sorry WM, and not join up with Warwickshire.....It was to build on the styrip separating Coventry from baginton, wasn't it?
