New Stadium Evidence? (1 Viewer)

[skybluetony176]

Without getting into a debate can anyone state or point me/us in the direction of any evidence that could be considered as concrete evidence that there is any intention on building a new ground, anywhere?

For all that's been said and done I can't think of one thing that convinces me it's at all possible it might happen.

Have we not had like 3 other threads on the lack of news? We don't really need another tbh.

There it is. Just imagine the date says 2014, not 2013, as that would give you the impression its actually happening

I'm not talking about news I'm asking about anything that has convinced people it might happen. Sound bites in the news don't count.

Probably the same as all of the other threads about the "new stadium" to be fair?

"@CCFCStadium: During SCG conference call today (20/12) Fisher confirmed that there was massive progress on the land purchase. Announcement in the New Year"

And that is it, just a tweet that RFC flies round with such concrete evidence...:facepalm:

Good shout. It does have a history of being home to a circus...

Tbh , i think that local businesses would greatly appeciate it , its just one or two rows of houses behind the common that might not be too pleased , earlsdon would be rammed on matchday

No chance, as the name suggests it's common land. Take that away and I'll have no where to graze my sheep.

Whenever I see that it just reminds me of Ricky Gervais' talking about people who believe Leonardo da Vinci invented the helicopter "drawing a picture of something and saying that will work is inventing nothing"

I can't disagree, but it's more likely to be a brown field site that get the nod.

I used to play football on the common with my mates on a Sunday morning many years ago.

Hearsall Common would be great although can't see it happening, not far from town, Craven St and Earlsdon and most important in Coventry, which SISU need to take note on any new ground however true,it is has to be in the City, they may get some fans onside with that, I only ever see a few people flying kites and letting their dogs shit all over the field so let's bring it on!

Just off the A45 ! Not far from the train stations of coventry and canley , pubs , 3-4 roads in and out ....would love it but it wont happen sadly

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Somewhere like Hearsall Common is where a proper ground should be not on some out of town retail park, all you would need is a hotel with conference facilities and a sports centre to give you 365 revenue and move the Rubicon there to, can't see it being reality though just a dream

 

[chiefdave]

We had the artists impression which may well have been a stadium rejected by Brentford with the colour of the seats changed. There was a reply from Nuneaton Council to a FOI request saying they had been approached but as they responded with a no this time its safe to assume nothing has moved forward there.

Other than that it's just people who claim to have information that they can't tell anyone about.

I used to play football there as a kid, but there isn't enough space there. Had they not already developed the old standard triumph area years ago, it may have had a chance there because of closeness to the a45. But nowadays no chance.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Not sure I would be too happy about a nice green space such as Hearsall Common being built over. It is common land for a reason.

Not that a new stadium is going to happen, but if it does, then it should be on a brownfield site.

Aye, hands off Hearsall Common!

I am a Freeman and claim my right to graze sheep on the Common.
