So what possible sites are there under that council within the range?
Is this a late April Fool or are we going to have to admit Fisher was right?
Campaign should surely be however, to ensure any talks revolve around the Cov boundary... and also to ensure talks commence with CCC!
That sort of campaign would be best aimed at CCC in my opinion. Maton has already stated there are no sites available to the club inside the city boundary so unless something changes at CCC theres little to no chance of a new stadium within the city boundary.
Are we asking the council to find and secure us a site? If not I'm not sure what they can do if there's nowhere suitable. Where is the land by the Uni? Is that CCC jurisdiction? Always felt that was the best suggestion in terms of somewhere that "felt like" Cov.
Bit of both, CCC and WDC.
As for the lack of sites, that's partly because the Local Plan doesn't cater for an impending football stadium. Not saying they'd pop up as if by magic if that were changed(!) but it should, surely, be worth pointing out we'd like it changed to make it as helpful as possible to grease the wheels for the football club to find an appropriate site in the city. After all, the old Gasworks weren't necessarily an obvious choice at the time.
Plus it'd have the handy benefit of taking away an element of bluff from the club if it is indeed bluff...
Much as per the Ricoh dispute, it's a lot easier to resolve issues if the two sides actually talk. At the moment they (still!) seem to not be doing so. That's... daft.
Ah no I'm all for bluff calling (in fact I'm all for knocking down large parts of the city centre to accommodate us). Just asking if that's what we want, because as much as we might I can't see CCC making the first move and putting serious resources into a plan when the club's official position is still that they wouldn't work with CCC before hell froze over. As it is Sisus position it seems the perogative is on them.

I am incredulous that people are debating this !!
I think you can debate it without thinking it's actually happening! The best thing that could happen would be for CCC to go here's a 60 acre site that's available and call Fisher's bluff.
...and then a new owner thinks 'I fancy a bit of that, and always loved Sky Blue as a colour' and buys us as a result...
Ah that sounds feasible...The council hand sisu land so they can recoup losses..........Hmmmm
...who said anything about handing SISU land?
So under what scenario could this theory work?
Sisu have nothing to sell other than the football clubs right to play in the league, so can they sell on a promise of someone else of land ?
Would be like selling land or a house with planning permission wouldn't it.
I can sell you a 1000 acre site on the Moon, interested?

Is it in the Coventry area?
One assumes Baginton or Brandon would have been the logical ones, but both ruled out now I guess.
Ansty?
Failing that, the club'd do everyone a favour if they knocked down Brownsover...
I live in Brownsover - far worse places like Admirals estate/ New Bilton/ lots of Bilton for that matter. Knock down the new development in that wasteland that is Cawston . . Best fish and Chippy in Brownsover. So there !
I used to work for RBC and travelled around the borough daily- can't think of any suitable site that would be on the Coventry side - but then SISU won't worry on that score. Maybe there is some old MOD sites that could be freed up .
Depends if your old school brownsover or coton meadows, brownsover is rugby's worst area for violent crime and drug offences, Cawston chippy would smash brownsover chippy in a chip off!
There was talk of Rugby Lions building a state of the art stadium a couple of years ago but the guy involved in that takeover was full of more shit than Fisher! Isn't Brandon Speedway under RBC jurisdiction?
