It did happen. Simon clearly had some contacts that confirmed it. They haven’t been as quick to confirm what happened at the meeting though
If you're referring to Warwick Uni As far as I'm aware the next step was confirmation of the exact site and then a public consultation which the uni said at the time it was all announced would be before the end of the year.wasn't there supposed to be a 'new ground' announcement in October?

However they also said the exact site was dependent on the final confirmed routing of the A46 strategic link road. Think that's been delayed so wouldn't expect anything imminently.
It’s so difficult to allow the parties space to sort things out isn’t it?You'd think maybe we would have heard something by now from either possible outcome?
Strange that absolutely nothing has been said by anyone since

Mark and I wanted to get DR and JS and they have. Whilst there are no crowds it looks like the reasons for making a deal are not as pressing
Although I don’t know for certain my money is on there are still issues to resolve and more meetings will happen until an agreement is made. If we stay in the championship I’d be gobsmacked if a deal wasn’t possible for us to play at the Ricoh
Its my firm belief that if an announcement was possible of a return, even from next season it would maintain the momentum that’s built up over the last 3 seasons.
Mark and I don’t currently want to push any more than we have because if they are talking then there’s hope
Didn’t someone on here say it didn’t amount to anything and no further meetings planne?
We’ve all been sent to CoventryYou'd think maybe we would have heard something by now from either possible outcome?

No public news is good news when it comes to stuff like this
Is that why we’ve not heard about the new ground either since the one statement
What do you expect? Stuff will be made public when it is ready. A much better approach than before imo with Tim and whatever that lady's name was who were running their mouths off every five mins talking shit
It does make you wonder who it suited to pass info to Simon.Tbh the fact neither has come out and said the other was being unrealistic or nothing had changed etc in the press I can only see as positive. If they keep rubbing each other up the wrong way it's doomed to failure. Inactivity is not good, but I'm all for silence in the press until we actually have something tangible to be reported on.
Or nothing is actually happening at all.
Or stuff is happening and it's at a commercially confidential stage... Easier to be positive rather than negative until the evidence points otherwise
Past evidence proves otherwise
As the uni have said the exact site can't be confirmed until they know the final plans for the link road not sure why anyone would be expecting anything to happen before that. Was supposed to be imminent but seems to have ground to a halt, presumably thanks to covid.I doubt we’ll hear about a new ground much until the uni have consulted, the A45 link road is finalised, and a partnership between the uni and the club is agreed.
That’s only ok if there’s not informed snippets coming out claiming a new stadium isn’t the plan.As the uni have said the exact site can't be confirmed until they know the final plans for the link road not sure why anyone would be expecting anything to happen before that. Was supposed to be imminent but seems to have ground to a halt, presumably thanks to covid.
If you believe a new stadium is going to happen or not people can't on the one hand talk about successful stadium projects taking years and then on the other hand moan there's not constant a constant stream of news.
It doesn't have to be a constant stream of updates, I don't want a poll on the carpet colours every other week. But the club could still occasionally explain what the next step is and what the delays are when things hit a significant unexpected hitch. There's only a few people who will be following the Uni's statements - I wasn't aware of what you just explained with the link road.As the uni have said the exact site can't be confirmed until they know the final plans for the link road not sure why anyone would be expecting anything to happen before that.

There doesn't have to be particularly tangible progress, as I've posted before, even just a roadmap of milestones would be good. The constant nonsense about 'commercial confidentiality' takes the piss out of people.
Also they could actually show evidence an owned stadium is essential to survive and grow. I see zero evidence of that at all.

The way I see it - is that we don’t necessarily need to own a ground, we need to be able to access the revenue the streams that come with it. Not so much F&B - but the sponsorship etc.This is my nagging worry. And what I’ve been driving at about our budget. I’m not convinced how we can be sustainable above L1 even in a new ground. I worry some fans think the only reason we aren’t competitive is because we don’t own our own ground when our financial issues are more systemic than that. As in the Championship isn’t for sustainable clubs as opposed to anything being wrong with CCFC.

I don’t think SISU are interested in that side of it but would gladly let the club take all the money in exchange for a set rent every year.

We all know we don't need to own a stadium, its about revenue access. No reason we can't access revenues without building or owning a stadium but of course that is reliant on who we are dealing with. At the moment the only option would be the Ricoh and while Wasps maintain their current stance that's not going to happen.I don’t see that pulling in the £10m/year or so we’d need. Though TBH I have no idea how much it’s worth.
