Has anybody heard anything recently about our plans to build a new stadium at warwick uni? Is it just me who thinks it’s a bit worrying/odd that we haven’t heard anything for a while?

I don't think many believe it's going to happen (myself included). Even if it were, surely there is at least a 10 year time frame on it given we are locked in at the Ricoh for the next 10 years. Don't expect to hear much.

The last piece in the jigsaw for a new stadium to be built is for a multi billionaire to buy the club and spend £300m on the team before splashing the cash at Warwick Uni

If they say they’re going to do something they should be held accountable

I don’t think it will happen, but retain a slight bit of hope

There is 0 chance these owners put forward the money for a new stadium unfortunately

was hoping to go one day without seeing that something was "worrying" or "concerning"

More likely that we end up owning the CBS again somehow if Wasps implode.

Neither are likely, but I'd say the latter slightly moreso

what a shame, my old man got his PhD at Warwick, our old home was actually on Charter Ave right behind Warwick, moved to the states when I was young, would’ve loved to come back there and attend matches a whole 2 minutes away.

I think some form of shared ownership of the CBS is probably the way forward. Unless we get promoted and SISU decide to use the money on a new stadium….which is unlikely

The Club and the University do not expect to issue a further statement on the project until early in 2021, when we hope to be able to share further details on this exciting project with Coventry City’s fans and the community.

Does the last week of August still count as early 2021?

It was also purposely built for us, the key objective would be either getting Wasps to fuck off, or obtaining at least a 50% share of the stadium.

It’s a joke, they should stop taking the fans for fools and concentrate their efforts on gaining some ownership of CBSA

You realise that anyone mocking the new stadium is going against the official policy of these very forums, which is that we're delighted with the plans?
"As supporters of Coventry City we are delighted by the joint statement from CCFC and Warwick University. It is all the more pleasing given the assurances we received earlier this year from Dave Boddy and Joy Seppala on the priority that CCFC and Sisu were placing on having a stadium of our own and their desire to have continued close relationships between the supporters, the club and the owners.

With that in mind, does anyone know why the thread with the proposed forum statement has been deleted?

Anyone who believes this fanciful stadium would ever get planning permission in that monied area of Coventry live in cloud cuckoo land.

Just think for a minute what needs to be done in that area for the logistics of a 25000 seat stadium it’s bad enough at the CBS with its limited roads to shift a full house after a match you’d be in queues to the A45 for hours

Could you ask Boddy whenever you meet him next why there’s been no further update on this new ground?

Would imagine it will be a standing agenda item.
the last update was the uni working on an overall plan apart from his words on sky about the 10 year deal being reflective of the timescale on the new stadium and that Ms Seppalla is personally leading on it

The problem is you have no appeal - you attempt to be edgy but it fails every time. No one really takes any notice if you do they? You’ve been on here for donkeys years but you are really the Willie Boland of the group. An invisible irrelevant little man which I suspect is reflective across your whole life.

If you stopped posting in here no one would even know - would they?
