So the idea is ... if to be believed, that the location for the new stadium, costing around £25m is but 2 miles away from a purpose built stadium just down the road, a little known place, called the Ricoh ?

Surely, surely, surely ... bidding circa the cost price, namely £20m/£25m now, for anyone businessman or woman with a brain, for a stadium that gets revenue back now, not in 3 to 5 years ... makes more sense, we already have 2 cathedrals, do we need to change our song and have 2 stadiums next to each other too ???

Surely not.

Perfectly sound logic which is exactly why it won't happen. Sisu are just waiting to get their grubby mits on the Ricoh, they just don't want to stump up the market value

The owners of the land identified as a potential location for a new Sky Blues stadium have said they are open to an approach from the club.

Planning consultancy Tetlow King represents the Ronald Wilson Trust, owners of the 71-acre former site of Hawkesbury golf course which is believed to have attracted the interest of Sky Blues bosses.

Julian Kemp, land consultant at Bristol-based Tetlow King, said: “We are not averse to any approaches from anyone.

“We have not had any direct contact from the football club at this stage, but it is not unusual for developers to make enquiries to local authorities before contacting the land owner.

“We are committed to promoting the land for development over the next couple of years, and the Trust wants to maximise the value of the land, so we are open to a potential sale to anyone as long as it is in a development context.

“I would suggest the land would be suitable for a stadium in terms of location and size but there are existing problems with infrastructure.

“The fact is there are issues with the road network and that would require some changes.

“But it would be up to the potential purchaser to assess the viability of any proposed development.”

A previous application to build around 200 homes on the site was rejected by the Secretary of State in November following a public inquiry - meaning the way is clear for fresh development plans.

The Telegraph revealed on Wednesday that a site in the Exhall area, just two miles from the Ricoh Arena was under consideration.
Yesterday, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council confirmed it had received an early stage apporach over a possible stadium on its patch.


If Sisu are serious then they should take up the chance for discussions..
