I think you're best off moving to some tiny village in that case then, the edge of a city is always going to be ripe for development.

Absolutely needs to happen this does... We need to be able to close the book on wasps, close the book on the council and create our own future...
I'm doing fuck all at the weekends for the next few months, get fucking cracking and I'll be up there Friday to Sunday with my shovel to help get things moving!
There is an article by les Reidi n October 2019 that suggests the Stoneleigh link to the uni will not be completed before 2024 if all goes well. There were already delays he says
2027?Ok what’s the process of this next ? When will things get moving ?
2027?
The statement to 2000 words?No that's when we will have had to expand it
Hard to believe half of that ever going in but would great for the area.I've had a thought, as this stadium will be in partnership with the uni, are they going to want to have a running pitch around the pitch? One of the poor things about the Ricoh is the huge space between the playing surface and the seated areas.
This is a proposed plan for a light rail network across the West Midlands, First time I've seen it.
If 2040's the date for it, it'll be 2050+ by the time it's actually finished.Hard to believe half of that ever going in but would great for the area.

Half of us will be dead, the other half committed.
Is that just the stadium build cost or does it include the land? They've also built over 900 homes, retain and a new town square so important to be sure we're looking at the right number.Brentford’s new stadium cost £71m but only holds 17k ? Joint project with London Irish rugby

Where in this joint statement does the University of Warwick say that? The land will not be sold to the club. (It says the university will provide, not sell, the land). Could easily be peppercorn rent if the University considers that the presence of the city's football ground within their campus enhances the value of the university.We’ll have to buy the land too, or at least a long lease.
I’d say anyone living in Finham has had a good run not having any houses pop up in their area in the past 40 years, when that whole area was obviously ripe for a development. Still, it’s not all bad, and I don’t think it’ll make the area worse.
But what do I know, I live in London so I’m probably conditioned to fields being a rarity.
Finham to the city centre is a really short distance,
Anyone living around Green Lane or Finham should have realised the attractive outlook from that side of the city would eventually be ripe for development of one kind or another. It’s like living next to a park and then moaning because other people use it. I thought the Ricoh was possibly the only solution to playing in the Coventry vicinity, I’m pleasantly surprised by this latest announcement and I live on the south west side of the city.
2 miles from the Stivichall Arms to the City Centre along the Leamington Road.
Having a stadium built in an area on the university campus will affect the local area maybe twice a week so most residents won't even notice apart from traffic for a few peak time hours on matchdays. And for the Cov fans in that area (or on that side of the city), they will be happy with the news. But that's not really comparable to a new housing site with 2500-5000 houses (depends on which report you read), a new school, shopping area and a new dual carriageway (running from a new junction with St Martins Road and parallel to the existing road Green Lane South) to handle the extra traffic. The complaints I have seen on local social media haven't been about "we're losing our view" but about the extra traffic that will be generated on already too small roads with no new planned infrastructure beyond the new site.
I won't mention that the new site is also opposite the Severn Trent sewage works. While the people of Finham have grown used to it (and the smell), that's going to put off a lot of potential buyers.

Joint Statement by Coventry City Football Club and the University of Warwick
I’ll just say that when I said the uni would gift it, I was pulled up pretty quick by someone on here close to the club pointing out that that wasn’t said.
Like... everythingI don't think it's clear yet.
