There are at least half a dozen (albeit some serve the airport as much as the NEC)
I bow to your knowledge of the industry, but with that being the case why hasn't it happened?
There are two proposals for a hotel with planning permission in the immediate vicinity:
Rowleys Green Lane: Coventry City Council: Planning Application Details (74 bedroom budget looking hotel - permission applied for originally in 2019 but not granted until October 2021, so perhaps economic downturn is the reason?)
Car Park C: Coventry City Council: Planning Application Details (150 room hotel - granted permission applied for in 2020 and granted permission October 2020)
When we had motor shows and overseas guests we tended to book then into Stratford and bus people in. Agency staff wiukd be the only ones you’d dump in tbe holiday inn or metropole - I just can’t see many visitors at events stopping in the arena at all
How many hotels does the NEC actually have - there’s a couple but it doesn’t seem that many
Yeah that was one of the more premium events on the calendar though.When we had motor shows and overseas guests we tended to book then into Stratford and bus people in.

Yeah
She turned down planning for a hotel and drive through by the ricoh without letting it go to vote because she said it would take custom from the city centre.

Perhaps the regeneration or the Judds Lane area, scrap yard and stuff is part of the deal? How big a hotel could be built on that bit alone, plus maybe a new outlet shop and a couple of bars. It’s all just a bit sad looking around there. Just a thought.
Your honour, I rest my case
Maybe a case of the protecting the city centre hotels but given the potential for the Arena, it would make sense to add another hotel on.
Like what? Not warehousing. There's loads of that stood empty in the city he could move into tomorrow if he wanted to. More shops? They seem to struggle to let the ones already there, regularly empty units.Does it really tho?
But let's say he wanted to knock it down. He would have paid for the arena and then the demolition costs and then construction costs. If he can then build something there that is then more valuable than the cost of those things then on paper they are then in profit. Especially if they then have businesses there that create healthy profits.
The hotel Nick is talking about got permission in the end, it just took 18 months compared to less than 3 to approve the one Wasps applied for

Supposedly housing not possible.due to contaminants present.Like what? Not warehousing. There's loads of that stood empty in the city he could move into tomorrow if he wanted to. More shops? They seem to struggle to let the ones already there, regularly empty units.
The only possible thing is housing, does Ashely have any track record of housing development? Would seem an odd route to take, there would be huge opposition.
Yeah

The amount of new warehouses being within a 15 mile radius of Cov is surprising. Surely organisations could reduce product lines to negate the reason for putting these places up?Like what?

Simon Jordan was mouthing off about the stadium being turned round? Maybe it’s something to do with that?Where’s all of the knock the stadium down rumours come from??? They are aware he only owns the compny with the lease right? They know he can’t just knock it down
Might stop the opposition changing ends every kick off, i fucking hate that.Simon Jordan was mouthing off about the stadium being turned round? Maybe it’s something to do with that?
That isn’t actually true is it?
Here’s the original decision:
Here’s the appeal decision where planning was granted:
And here’s the decision notice for the subsequent application for the same thing that that was granted: http://planning.coventry.gov.uk/portal/servlets/AttachmentShowServlet?ImageName=1630993
New accounts should be limited to a single dedicated thread for 6 weeks. Detailing who everyone on here is and all the running jokes, before being allowed to play in the big threads.

Blackpool I think really lowIs it more levelled? The common complaint is that parachute payments make it harder than ever for teams like us to achieve promotion. And I’m not sure what you mean by “relatively low wages” - who was the last team to go up on a “relatively low” wage bill?
Land between Tesco/shops and railway. Scrapyards etc that were all supposed to be relocatedHow much developable land is there around the stadium? Cannot develop the car parks as protected by planning permissions and their loss would create more local parking problems. Not sure there is loads of space and Ashley/Sports Direct only builds crappy warehouse sheds. More out of town retail will impact hard on town centre too. I think he has eyes on the CCFC but willing to bide his time or maybe bring Duggy King on board as a partner.... total guesswork though.
Why are we dismissing his comments as him mouthing off?Simon Jordan was mouthing off about the stadium being turned round? Maybe it’s something to do with that?
Has he passed his SBT membership test? He gives the tests
I’m not dismissing his comments. He made them, freely broadcast his opinion and respect him for doing so.Why are we dismissing his comments as him mouthing off?
Because his job is literally to mouth off as per the Talksport terms and conditionsWhy are we dismissing his comments as him mouthing off?
.Has he passed his SBT membership test? He gives the tests
Blackpool I think really low
