It could be the whole football league is mutating?
Is this what you were reporting on before?
TBF they’ve been pretty mute too
Is this your first time reading a Tory councillors response to literally any development anywhere their voters live?
Maybe I’ve been primed being in the Finham FB Group the last couple of years.
Why do we need to draw a line under what has happened and just see what happens though? It sounds very passive.Absolutely, but when was the last time we heard from Tim? We need to draw a line under what happened before and see what happens with this, if it is a smokescreen and utter bollocks then we should all shout from the rooftops about it but personally I feel there has been a major shift in the last couple of years in the way that sisu have run things and as such I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt until proven one way or the other.
As we all know the world is proper fucked at the moment so we need to have patience with everything from this to signings to the shirt etc and judge on actions not on the past

If we were playing at the Ricoh on a short to medium term rent deal then we could afford a more laid-back approach to the new stadium. However, given our short term route back to the city is at a seemingly irremovable impasse and we only have a confirmed place to play, in another city, for 2 of the 5 years this proposed new stadium will take to be ready, then we should be demanding more details from our owners to prove it's not a smokescreen, not just giving them the benefit of the doubt until we know for sure either way.
2 questions flipped:And I'm sure once they have more details to give they will give them, they are stuck between a rock and a hard place as before they gave more details when they weren't ready to and look where that got us
I understand the foaming at sisu as it's a situation that is in part obviously of their making but have patience especially with the way the world is at the moment.
The fact that the uni gave a joint statement (rather than before which was just tim et al blowing out of their arses) shows we are in a stronger position than before as what is in it for the uni to make a joint statement if there isn't anything really there
We aren't in cov this season due to wasps/the 3rd party so we need to draw a line under that and get behind this new stadium as due to the actions of others that appears to be our only route back
2 questions flipped:
If the club pull out/fail to commit to the new stadium, for any reason, what do the Uni have to lose from the initial announcement that they were planning for a partnership with the club?
And, how long are you prepared to wait for more details/information?
Yep number 1 priority for Ccfc is to keep them in existence, number 2 is for them to be playing in coventry. We all know this. Would we really want the Efl to say to ccfc it’s coventry or nowhere?
Nothing2 questions flipped:

CCC are agitated already about the announcement as we have seen.Nothing
and
3 months tops
Fair enough but i think you are at one end of an extreme spectrum by being willing to take that leap of faith!I'm willing to wait for as long as it takes, according to another poster on here (@chiefdave I think) there is some consultation planned for October time (covid permitting of course) so if that happens then we are on the right track
I guess for the uni it would be embarrassing if sisu pulled out as they would be another in the list of Coventry ventures fucked over by sisu

Prepared to wait, not expecting to wait!Another seven years
I got told (I have no idea how accurate! Take chat down t'pub or, nowadays, on Teams! with the proverbial pinch of salt) they were planning a sports stadium of sorts for national university football competitions, anyway. If true and then we back out, any site could revert to that easily enough, couldn't it, without much hassle from the university at all.Fair enough but i think you are at one end of an extreme spectrum by being willing to take that leap of faith!
I don't think it would be at all embarrassing for the Uni. If anything they can actually claim the moral highground of having been prepared to allow their land to be used to get CCFC back home. Not like they're going to lose potential students because of the reputational impact of the partnership falling through.
From their previous postings and their attempts to generalise, I suspect the former is equally true!Prepared to wait, not expecting to wait!
Any idea of the general chronology of these types of builds and what steps along the way do require formal requests/submission to WDC?CCC are agitated already about the announcement as we have seen.
I would prefer them to be kept in the dark as long as possible.
As long as we can see that meetings are taking place, I'm happy for the site to remain under wraps for a while.
With what Boris has said about planning permission and people can go to the government rather than local council, will it he!p the City's cause?
Even spade in the ground can, as I said above, still be reverted, if all you're doing is clearance and foundations.Any idea of the general chronology of these types of builds and what steps along the way do require formal requests/submission to WDC?
I would have thought that could give us a rough idea of the sort of time CCC or the fans could be kept in the dark for? Or perhaps I'm being naive and there are too many variables involved to map that.
I've seen several people quote the 'spade in the ground' as the trigger point for believing but how far down the process could SISU go with a minimum outlay to keep up the facade? At what point does serious money have to be parted with?

What's seven years between friends.It's just having patience with it all
What's seven years between friends.
Because that's how long we've been claiming we're all set to build a new stadium, honest (tbf, from @oldskyblue58 's post I'm wrong, and I should be quoting eight years). It's not a hard thing to work out.Why keep on quoting the 7 years?

You're a bullshitting owner's wet dream.

I think the point is, we've seen plenty to avoid giving credence to any statement they make about the thing.TBH I wouldn't give credence to a threat from Fisher in a meeting

Well you clearly don't. As the facts are there is no progress on a stadium, and the patterns are repeated ones from the past.Or I actually take stock of the situation and base an opinion based on logic and the facts in front of me rather than holding onto old grudges which are based on people who aren't actively involved anymore
So
Of course not and it hasn’t come to that, yet. But we are now in the championship what happens if we do a Sheffield United ?
Another concern is an EFL me member (club) could complain forcing the EFL hand on this issue.
I was married for 7 years. Felt like a fucking lifetime!What's seven years between friends.
