Is this the dedicated team that Neil was on about or is it the husband and wife team?
Person who oversees planning at CCC..
This could be interesting
Hopefully they'll quickly see they're fighting a losing battle. Pretty sure Maton wouldn't have been expecting the response he got to his tweet.Why are CWR getting somebody from Cov Council on and not Warwick Council?
It's almost as if they are lining up to try and push as much negativity as possible?

How far from the boundary is it? Hate to piss on people’s chips but it’s my understanding that on developments within a certain buffer the neighbouring council gets to weigh in.
Its quite funny seeing who on social media is annoyed and scrambling at this news and who welcomes it. Sadly you could easily have predicted who would be the ones who seem to not be entirely happy about it.
This is what I can’t get - I’m intrigued to see what Warwick uni get out of itTrying to work out the business case from Warwicks end here though, why not just build and operate their own? Bringing in a supermarket makes sense when it’s outside money looking for locations. If Warwick want student housing on their own land there’s nothing stopping them.
I think it’s more that they could use the stadium and there’s sensible links in health and sports that work for both. They have the gold standard football management course there as well don’t they? Lots of reasons to bring in a sports team.
Still doesn't answer why they get CCC on rather than Warwick Council
Is it going to be the same Head of Planning that used " delegated powers " to reject a hotel application right next to the Ricoh? Same person who was going above and beyond to try and get the Higgs sorted for Wasps?
Getting a say is very different to being the council overseeing the planning application.How far from the boundary is it? Hate to piss on people’s chips but it’s my understanding that on developments within a certain buffer the neighbouring council gets to weigh in.
They’re based in Cov and have more Cov connections I’d guess?
Maybe he’s coming on to say he’s found a space in the city centre and wants to offer it for free? Let’s find out.
Was more just something I’d remembered from working on planning applications, especially in London where councils are cheek by jowl that neighbouring councils can chip in on applications outside their boundary, wasn’t a direct response toyour post really.

I know are media, trust etc aren't very supportive of the club but surely if you get to the point where you've got a viable plan supported by the club, EFL, the uni and the council it comes under (Warwick), any messing around by our council would be called out.

Exactly, I doubt there would be silly games as they wouldn't want to piss off the uni.
From what I understand relations between council and uni haven’t been good for literal decades.
They are getting fired up, as predicted nobody has told them where Warwick Uni is.
In terms of location, id argue this is even worse than the Ricoh..the transport links around there are overwhelmed already and the public transport is crap so the majority are going to have to go by car. Still, beggers cant be choosers
Guess it depends on your default position. I can totally understand that if someone bullshits you for six years you might have reason to be cautious about their future promises. I believe the Brothers Grimm write on this topic.
People seem to be jumping on anyone that doesn’t take this as proof positive a stadium is definitely happening, but that’s not really fair. It’s understandable to be sceptical given the history of the project. Same as every time CCC announce a shiny plan for the city centre you’d question it given the debacles with other projects.
The location is a bit of a masterstroke really. Doesn't come under Cov Council but everyone involved at the council, media etc has always accepted the University as part of the city, particularly when there's any credit to be taken. Pretty hard now to start jumping up and down saying its not in Cov while still trying to take credit for anything else the uni does.

I'm not jumping on any one who's sceptical, and I appreciate that may not be aimed at me, but I'm just wondering if anyone's got any reason beyond they always bullshit?

I mean for me, it’s less that there’s a new reason not to trust them, more than there’s no a new reason to trust them. We’ve been here before and got nowhere so it’s still very early days.
That said I hope it comes off and I think it’s the second best place behind the city centre for a new ground.

I think he means that people have more trust in Warwick Uni.
We haven't really been here before to be fair.
If a potential stadium is where I'm thinking (near the sports centre) then that is one of two sites the University have identified for a major parking hub. Their plan is to close the existing car parks around the campus and move to two large car parks on the edge of the site. One would be near the sports centre (basically off the mini roundabout where you go straight on for the arts centre / uni and left for cryfield if you're coming from the A46), the other is off Charter Avenue (could run park and ride to a ground from that one).Honest question: if 29k people work/live at the uni, I assume that’s mostly in the week so at weekends/evenings will it really have an impact? As has been said there’s already a lot of plans in place to improve transport links to that area anyway.

Coventry council refusing to acknowledge criticism. Well I never.Not sure if it's been touched on but Maton has deleted his tweet.
Welcome that to be honest. Much better to have a bit of professionalism and just keep quiet and get on with the job. Any info will likely come from the club and / or uni, the council can just be left to get on with their job.WCC turned their request for an interview. Asked them first according to Gilbert's twitter

Still if no-one from the council involved will come on not sure its much help getting someone from another council on instead.
