New Stadium ?

Now if this does turn out to be the site for Legoland, who will make the trip to this place. Not me i'm afraid.

Covstu · Jan 8, 2014

why not, its about 5 mins away from the Ricoh so whats the difference? Still Cov in my opinion.

Have you got those figures for us yet, the accurate ones comparing Sixfields income versus Ricoh income?

SkyBlueHomer · Jan 8, 2014

Blackhorse Road already struggles to cope at peak times and with houses potentially being built on greenbelt land in Bedworth there are plenty of miles in this before anthing happens just yet. I wouldn't worry about it for a few years.

You would register if SISU moved us to the other side of the world :jerkit::jerkit::jerkit:

Still waiting for those accurate figures please..

chiefdave · Jan 8, 2014

Hard to say for sure until it happens, which it won't, but my current feeling is that if we move to the other side of the motorway we're no longer a Coventry team. If we were moving because it was essential and there were no other options maybe I could accept it but that's not the case.

For people in the south and west of the city will be effected by distance.

That site at hawkesbury is littered with unmapped mine shafts, thats why they stopped the new housing where they did..it will cost an absolute arm and a leg to clean that site up as its all ex mining

RoboCCFC90 · Jan 8, 2014

I would attend, but it is very dependant on my personal situation.

I would. Is there any pubs around there? If not then my answer changes to no.

Greyhound at Sutton Stop is excellent. Sometimes go there before walk along canal to the Ricoh... Doh !

I'd go there. No problem.

italiahorse · Jan 8, 2014

It's rubbish. Don't waste your time thinking about it.

I was at the open planning meeting last year at the Council Chambers for one of the other cases that was being reviewed at the same time.
The original proposal for 200 homes and a wharf for the canal was rejected by the Council before the planning meeting.
The new proposal for a reduction to 160 homes was recommended for approval by the planning officers but rejected by the councillors even though the officers said an appeal would be made and it would be for the 200 homes with advice that the appeal would almost certainly be accepted. Not sure how the appeal has done yet but if it has not been approved for houses then it will certainly be rejected for a stadium.

The reason for the objections was the access out of Blackhorse Road and in particular the increased railway crossing usage which already ties local residents up for up to half an hour at certain times.

A stadium down there would make it impossible to get cars out for several hours so this article is almost certainly absolute garbage.
In addition it should be noted that when the NUCKLE railway project is eventually implemented the volume of trains will increase.

The CET should concentrate on SISU bullshit rather than waste time on speculative paper selling articles.

Please do not try to intimidate or provoke, I know what I know and it's nowhere as simple as you're suggesting (wish it was but it is what it is ...........), nobody knows the exact figures other than those who run the financial situation at the Club.

However a return to the Ricoh is getting less and less likely due to more than one party (at least 4), we have to move on and move forward IMHO!

Not really intimidation is it? Certainly we have been trying to provoke an answer though, you claim that figures showing that the Ricoh provides millions of pounds more income per year, as against the income generated at Sixfields, are not accurate. If you know they are not accurate, does that mean you know the accurate figures?

Those that run 'the financial situation' at the club would be estimating the actual figures as well, as they do not know how many people would turn up to the Ricoh.

What do you mean it is less and less likely a return to the RICOH, on what information do you base this on,is it Fishers discussions with 2 councils, could you let us know who they are as the press and sky blue trust cannot seem to find out who they are.Well i have decided that Fisher or a council on coventrys borders are lying, would you say the council are lying. There is less chance of building a new stadium every day.
