No offence intended. I just meant that Grendel was arguing with the intelligence of someone who'd just drove to Dundee in their bare feet.
Why have you mentioned me? I had nothing to do with the forum statement and my first post on the topic is that it was a bit vague and no actual site identified.
Perhaps, or perhaps not, but it means they clearly didn't think it was nonsense.
I hope to one day be a billionaire, but if 'Big' Dave Boddy announces that him and the University of Warwick are going to make it happen for me, I wouldn't rush to say how delighted I was unless I thought they actually meant it.

Where in that does it say "we fully believe there will be new stadium?" It says we look forward to seeing plans and hopefully it involves the fans.
Signing a deal to come back to the Ricoh (if you recall when this news was leaked there was still a prospect of returning for August 2020) does not disprove that a new stadium will be developed.
Granted, it does look pie in the sky and there is plenty of scepticism about it in the thread. I'm not sure if you follow football but this announcement came off the back of the award of the L1 title, which would have impacted the reaction.

it’s obvious you have an agenda on here
Exactly! Which isn't really something you would say if you thought the whole thing was nonsense, as one person suggests is what most people thought. In reality, much of this thread is people who are excited (delighted even!) at the prospect of a new stadium and leaving the Ricoh behind for good. Fair enough, but others are much more skeptical, and I've always been in the latter camp.
I think my very first post on this thread was pointing out how giddy everyone was about all this in the midst of the promotion excitement. It looks a lot different in the cold light of a relegation battle.

The 2 aren't mutually exclusive you know?
I think most are in a similar camp to me, excited about the prospect but at the same time skeptical it will actually happen.
TriggeredMost people thought it was nonsense
The forum statement is I assume one or two people
Not sure what point you are trying to prove (again)?
That people didn't think the new stadium project was nonsense. That's all.
mr_monkey's a big fanExactly. There's probably only Frank on Twitter who is fully believing it is 100% going to happen.
People being excited by the thought isn't fully believing it is 100% going to happen. You know that, right?
Of course! And it's also a decent indication that people think it could happen, right?
IF it ever does it won’t be at Warwick Uni.So assuming reports of this new Ricoh deal are accurate, are we supposed to believe that our new stadium will take a minimum of seven more years to complete?
Does anyone seriously think this is still happening?
Is there any talk (now were reasonably stable for 7-10 years) of a saleStill at most 5% think the new stadium will come off. It needs such a passion and overwhelming desire that I just don’t think Mr Fisher and Ms Seppalla have
If it was a mixture of some on here behind it I’d be more hopeful but it’s not. Also on balance if the return is anything like has been proposed that sounds like the viable plan for the foreseeable future
No it isn't? I'd get excited at the thought of us winning the champions league but I don't think it is going to happen.
You are trying too hard to push something that isn't there.
So in summary, this thread you started was a chance for everyone to get excited about something that most people thought was nonsense and would probably never happen? Is that how you think I should be reading it? Could be that I've dramatically misinterpreted it, but that honestly isn't the impression I get reading it back.
The thread was started about news that came out. People were excited at the thought about it and the prospect of it. Things were discussed about the pros and cons of what had been said.
Much the same as people were excited at the thought of going round Earlsdon for beers if we played at the Butts but didn't actually think that was going to happen.
As I said, you are trying hard to push something that isn't there. As usual.
No but you have to think why would the club or Sisu tell anyone about it unless they could get something out of itIs there any talk (now were reasonably stable for 7-10 years) of a sale
Yep suits bothGreat news if/when it's made official, absolutely hated the drive to St Andrews. Will be very interesting to see if we ever get an update on the new stadium now, might just get quietly dropped. A 7 year commitment (if that's accurate) is such an improvement on all the 1/2 year periods of uncertainty we were going through before.
Sadly not a chance in Coventry. A slug would win a council vote if you put a Labour sticker on it. Stuck with the likes of O’Boyle and Maton and their stuck in the past view of building factories for however long they want to be there.
Personally I could never get excited about any talk of a new stadium at any of the many rumoured (confirmed or unconfirmed) sites over the last many years. Not sure how long it has been now? That goes for my family and circle of friends, who are all sky blue. I think the majority of Cov fans know it was always just a tactic by SISU to apply pressure on whoever owns the Stadium. Also to appease the FL. I did used to be surprised and feel sorry for those dragged into it such SCG groups and now Warwick Uni. Wasting their precious time. I suppose also me now posting this on the matter when it will never happen.

what is your problem?
64 people quickly lor liked the statement
Overwhelmingly the comments were agreeable with a few questioning some aspects and one or two, probably you questioning whether it was the opinion of the forum
I don’t expect everyone to agree with everything Mark and I have tried to do but this disingenuous nonsense is really frustrating
I don’t see why it’a nonsense in hindsight.
I would fully expect the vast majority on here agree we should play in coventry and if we had a stadium of our own at some point that would be great.
Good job becsuse then you wouldnt speak to one another!He's not my Dad
A new Ricoh kit is coming however, it’s a tired looking blue colourAmongst all these announcements and speculation, if hummel want to sneak out confirmation of a brown kit I'm ready to throw money at them
