Do you mean that the article in the Daily Telegraph originally mentioned the ring road but has since been corrected?
Its been edited, the quote in post #2 was definitely correct at the time, it said.
'The fans crave a new era. Wasps having acquired the Ricoh Arena, Coventry are looking to build a new stadium, a sporting complex with the local rugby club involved and training facilities attached, inside the ring-road within four to five years.'

Yes that is correct, I definitely saw it on the daily telegraph article as did others in this thread. Its been edited now to say 8 miles instead.
I love this article about Mowbray and the way he describes his ambition, and his passion for the game and attacking football. If the words translate into action, I may find my love for the club reignited.
But I’m baffled by the “ring road” debate. The article says “Coventry officials said on Tuesday that they are looking to build a new stadium, a sporting complex with training facilities attached, hoping for it to be “within eight miles of the city centre” and “within four to five years”.
I can see no reference to the ring road, so why does post No. 2 on this thread mention it?
8 miles from the city centre could be past Nuneaton, on the edge of Birmingham or nearly in Rugby.
To Telegraph football correspondent Henry Winter.
Love it, author messes up, says on twitter he was right and then corrects the article!
Blimey, talk about being half empty.Nice words from TM.....but calm down folks....that's all they are.....a few well chosen words.....he's hardly gonna turn up & say something like.....
"I've been out of work for 18 months & am now bored, so thought I'd give this rabble a spin as I can't lose.....if I fuck it up, I'll walk away & confirm to anyone who'll listen that the club is rotten to the core & riddled with a culture of failure....If I do alright & keep them up (which shouldn't be difficult if truth be told) then I can either stay on for an extended contract on improved terms or get my agent to see what better jobs are available"....
Anyway....I've got a hangover & had a 4.30am start (thanks kids)....
Good luck in your 13 remaining games TM.
Blimey, talk about being half empty.
An inspiring interview,I used to cringe at his after match interviews when he was at Celtic but he does sound good or maybe he is just good at the PR.
If it smacks of PR then so be it, we have seen little spin for such a long time and it just gives us a glimmer of hope. You can't fault his passion. Time will tell if he can follow up his vision with something exiting for us fans......I just hope he gets enough time.You're probably right.....but it gives a bit of balance to all the romantic horseshit & platitudes in the article.....
Bah, he ignored me(!)
:wave:
Millenium Stadium in Cardiff works perfectly fine, right in the very centre of the city.
