Most will drink in Kenilworth and hop on the train. Nice day out for away fans that.
Rapid Vienna's modular stadium cost just shy of £50m
28k seats
Looks nice though!
Why would Warwick uni be in on a bluff?

It was their choice to move 100's of miles away from Coventry, I tip my hat to them for travelling back to games.What about the people who drive hundreds of miles to City games? Seems to me that if a stadium isn't within a nice walking distance for some fans then the plans are "not viable" or some other similar piece of rhetoric. Maybe they will consult you and lay on a helicopter or something.
MP pledges support to Coventry City as stadium plan announced
Zarah Sultana revealed she had written to the club last week offering help to bring home games back to the citywww.coventrytelegraph.net
This is refreshing

My point is, that this area of Coventry is shit at best to drive around / get to on public transport through Coventry at the moment. How would it cope on a matchday?
Plus, a train station at the Ricoh cost what £10M to put in? That's 1/3 of the £30M budget gone already if we're putting one in over here now.
We moan that the Ricoh is shit to get too (it's not in my helicopter btw). But putting a stadium here would have exactly the same issue for fans imo. I can't viably see how you can improve the road links to get to that area of the city easier, especially with the buy in of CCC.

Why would they know it’s a bluff?
Just a speculation as to their motives. Trying to see it from what the Uni gets out of it. Maybe both sides are bring cynicalDo you think the University needs leverage with CCC?
We are talking a whole new level of political power than SISU / CCFC would have.
People who are saying it’s difficult to get to you only have to go every other week roughly it’s not every day.
Leighfield Road Stadium has a certain ring to it, doesn't it?This is the bit I could see them looking at, building over the existing pitches and locating them elsewhere may also a possibility as the new sports hub was intended to be the main part but with other sport facilities dotted around rather than it all being central

No doubt as it stands it’s less accessible than the Ricoh, but aren’t there already plans to improve access to the uni? Sure I’ve read about train stations,automated metro bus things, in the transport plans and a link road up that way being built. Someone else will know the details.
Also: South Cov is Best Cov.
Do they have a helicopter pad for me to get there?
Normal behaviour from most councils though, its a shame this is seen as refreshing
I doubt it will be anymore than 18000 initially

I think that would be good, packed out atmosphere every week, really get behind the team. Make it something that's exclusive, people of Coventry clamour for tickets because they are like gold dust and really get them wanting to watch the city, the occasional games they get in for the regulars still making positive noise for the team and shaking people out of that negative 'forward' or 'you're shit' mindset they've havd for years. Then when we get to the point of expanding a massive rush for tickets.I doubt it will be anymore than 18000 initially
Two, one for me and one for youDo they have a helicopter pad for me to get there?
What would we get 10k season ticket holders? So 8k spare for match package, single tickets, POTG etc.Would be interesting to run the numbers on how many big crowds we get in the Championship vs how much it costs to have the bigger ground. Annoyingly for stadium planners we seem to have 12-15k regular support then another 20k+ who will turn up three or four times a season.
18k then borrow the Ricoh for Villa games?
