Park and ride at the Memorial Park too. Don't forget the Emirates or Stamford Bridge, virtually no parking at either.
Park and ride at the Memorial Park too. Don't forget the Emirates or Stamford Bridge, virtually no parking at either.The parking argument is bogus though. There are other larger city centre grounds (think 55,000 at St James Park, 32,000 at Bramall Lane, 80,000 in Cardiff). Look at aerial views of St James Park and see how much on site parking there is.
I read something once about Newcastle, it was a study about how people got to the game. Can't find it now which is annoying, but it basically said that 30% or thereabouts travel to the game by car - and there is an average 2.5 people per car. At BPA, for a full house that would translate to 3000 cars, but they wouldn't be concentrated around the stadium area - they would be dispersed and many would use city centre car parks. There would also be businesses, schools etc who would cash in by opening car parks - and there would also be some street parking.
A city centre ground is by default close to the main train station, it is by default on every bus route in the city. There would be park and ride, coach services from outlying areas, and let's not forget, the ground would be within walking distance of many residential areas including Earlsdon, Spon End, parts of Coundon, Radford, Cheylesmore, Hillfields etc. Traffic could also disperse easily, because by using city centre parking those people would enter and exit the city centre via the 9 different ring road exits. I just don't see how it would an issue at all.
Time will tell, but I remain sceptical ...
How does this help CCFC they are dissatisfied with 3K they get from Ricoh parking, they will get bugger all extra from the 100 or so spaces that might be squeezed onto the Butts site.
There is always a contradiction at the heart of SISU's arguments.

Edit to say, you're right the Broomfield, just clicked link, DOH!
He's a bullshitterWhy does he say and I quote
"We have two years left at the Ricoh and can extend if we need to."
How exactly?
He's a bullshitter
Not sure there's any mystery here. The deal that was being negotiated was a 25 year deal on improved terms for the football club. I am sure the option to extend on a rolling basis under the current terms is there. Unless we think Wasps would actually kick us out?
On a completely different note - I see you are a HC affiliate. Done alright out of that myself over the years!
Might be worth making a thread, the hotel sites never paid off for me. Too much hassle!
Ah I never bothered learning how to make apps!All the hassle is in the beginning. Once up a running it is maintenance free pretty much. The website don't do much, but the app does all right. Get about £600 a month now, which is pretty good for doing jack shit!
What is it with you calling everyone a liar when you don't agree with what they say.Lying again
as the song goes.....
its all just a little bit of history repeating itself
and farther Christmas still comes down the chimney
And Slides or enters down the Chimney.:stop:Don't think you should try making jokes until you learn how to spell father.
Don't think you should talk to your dad like thatDon't think you should try making jokes until you learn how to spell father.
What is it with you calling everyone a liar when you don't agree with what they say.

It's called wumming
It's a good thing your back.
It's a sign we are making progress and your lot are getting a bit nervous.

London with the underground and buses every minute makes a big difference.
Well said chipfat, I can't believe there are people on here who really believe a new ground will happen and BPA is a possibility, I suggest those who believe it might happen go and look at the site. It would struggle to cope with 5000 let alone between 15 and 25 and there's even talk of extending that if we did a "Leicester" Unfortunately football fans are a much different breed to rugby behaviour wise.

so they have identified a stadium and academy site outside the city, their preferred option is the butts arena, but remain hopeful that they can stay at the Ricoh
why would wasps, CCC or CRFC believe any of It, if we cant actually commit to making one option work.
It's like an episode of Scooby Do on here - people inventing mysteries when there are none.
How can they commit to BPA when feasibility studies are still on-going? They have already said this was leaked to the media way before they wanted it to. All they have said since is that there is another possible site but they also can't rule that a Ricoh deal. Which one would you like them to rule out at this point? The back-up site, even though they don't know for sure if BPA is feasible? The Ricoh, when the negotiations there were ended by the other side who have also said nothing is certain? Which one should they settle on with all those uncertainties.
You CAN criticise them for the inaction over recent years - we should be on a single course of action already by now, but it didn't happen, and in the here and now it does feel like things are finally coming to a head one way or another.
