May I hang out with you both? Whenever I see a ground with separate stands, I can’t help but wonder how many extra fans they might get in were the corners to be filled in
May I hang out with you both? Whenever I see a ground with separate stands, I can’t help but wonder how many extra fans they might get in were the corners to be filled inYeah I get that. I’ve accepted that my dislike of separate stands makes me a football fan weirdo. It’s fine. I’ll hang with Otis.
Good man!!May I hang out with you both? Whenever I see a ground with separate stands, I can’t help but wonder how many extra fans they might get in were the corners to be filled in
What’s the capacity on your boat? International waters is well out of CCC jurisdiction.
FWIW I think you can get a 20k ground for £30m if land purchase isn’t an issue and infrastructure is already accounted for. The Ricoh land had serious contamination issues that massively raised the development costs IIRC (also why it was chosen as I think the Tesco sale paid for the decontamination), also its 50% bigger and as you say has hotel/conference facilities included.
Come on Shmmeee you will never get the seats for and pour enough concreate for 30m for any capacity of 20k or so. Bear in mind all ancillary areas, fitting out, pitch. No way. Rotherham stadium bleachers are just 12 rows and a capacity of just 12k with the initial construction cost (not land preparation) 20m. If you are going to build a 30k+ stadium today it will be on the scale of the Ricoh and building cost have escalated a decade or so on.
Boats in Florida by the way....unfortunately can't get out there at the moment!
Yeah I get it Shmmmeee but what was the fit out cost on top, did that include all the land and prperation of? Plus it's just 21k capacity and it was some years ago. Remember I'm talking about today/ in a few years from now and 30/35k capacity. If you could build a nice stadium right down to complete fit out, ready to go with a 30k capacity for under 75m for example = I'd snap your hand off. Remember also we need a proper stadium becuase we are in a league playing 'proper' football now! lol

I like the idea of the seats colours represent every shirt we’ve ever had, so different shades of sky blue green black red pink and so on, everyone would be fighting over the brown seatsWent past Brentford's (new and current) stadiums the other day, what an improvement that is. Definitely a club on the up, and the new one looks very sharp and smart indeed.
They've coloured the seats mainly red but with splashes of random colours here and there, so on TV the ground still looks full. Always hated the brightly coloured seats of the ricoh, you can see every single empty seat so clearly.

Your first or last ?You're a fucking drip.
There is no new ground you mugs.
Ffs have some self respect you morons.
I wouldn’t have put it in his words but he is correctSo eloquent, don't suppose you have any random Twitter accounts do you
I’m sure I read in the joint statement that the land was the university’s contribution to the partnershipDepends if there is land cost. Will ask question about cost/budget though.
I've got a lot of catching up to do on this thread it seems!

Something like this would do us

No one is talking about a 30k stadium. Sisus original plan a few years ago was 12k, now talk of 15-18k. I think 20k is about right until we hit the prem even if it does limit us for big games.
I'm not sure we need 30k capacity personally.
for the prem you would, easily
Black seats matter.I like the idea of the seats colours represent every shirt we’ve ever had, so different shades of sky blue green black red pink and so on, everyone would be fighting over the brown seats
The problem with this one (apart from being in Wales) is that the council gifted the land and then worked in conjunction with the club to achieve a community stadium.That is much nicer than the Rotherham one in my opinion.

Why is that a problem? We’re apparently getting a land gift and a partnership here too.
I do not recall anyone say the land is being "gifted"?
Ah fair point. “Provided”.
"available" ?
Coventry City Football Club and the University of Warwick are delighted to announce that they have commenced planning for a partnership, which would see the University provide land to the Club for the development of a new stadium, thereby creating a new home for the Football Club with easy access for fans living in the City of Coventry.
Just using the club's wording:
I used to know a ground that ended up with a 23000 capacity which suit us perfectly and the so club owned it and it was near to the city centre perfectly located to all. Hillford Rd or something like that it was called!No one is talking about a 30k stadium. Sisus original plan a few years ago was 12k, now talk of 15-18k.
