I would turn over and go back to sleep.If Sisu announced next week with plans and permission for a new 24000 seater stadium on the old courtaulds site on the Foleshill Rd near Lockhurst lane junction 1 mile from city centre and would be based on a similar model to Highfield Rd what would the reaction be.
Probably the only thing that SISU and the Council agree on, is that no new stadium will
be built in the City of Coventry. Most fans don't believe a new stadium will be built anywhere.However the chances of a new stadium being granted planning permission in Coventry are about as great as Sepalla volunteering to be the next Lady Godiva.
The same as now, not believe they are going to build it, not belive the club will be in a fit state by the time it was built (if they were building it) for us to need a 24k seater stadium we'll be in the conference. For me the problem has never been having a new stadium it's the 5 years of irreparable damage they would do to the club in the meantime. We'd be getting a few hundred coventry fans in the conference by the time we came back with a whole generation of new fans lost to the club.
Could Sisu not sue the council if they can not get planning permission in Cov?
Si! They could sue! (SISU? Geddit?)

They wont need to sue the council. If they get turned down in coventry they will just keep appealing.Then it could go to a public inquiry where a goverment planning inspector will look in to it. I may be wrong but think it goes along these lines. But these public inquirys do tend to long drawn out affairs.
GAYIST quote ever, enjoy your evening in RainbowsIF IF IF IF IF IF and fuckin IF, IF sisu did this IF sisu did that, when all the time they aint gonna do jack shit and there ain't no IFs about that!!!!

the whole 'it's can't be in Coventry because the council won't let it happen' argument has never stacked up for me. can't remember off the top of my head but I did look it up and it can be fairly easily taken over the level of the council and there's also rules councils have to follow when making judgements, they can't just go no because we don't like SISU or want them to use the Ricoh.
No doubt they'll buy some land to show the FL they are serious but they'll have no intention of building a new ground on it.They can sell it for a small profit when they want.This is where the people who think the NOPM campaign is pointless are wrong. If we do have a good season, maybe sneak a play off spot and they are only getting crowds of 2 or 3000 it would give sisu serious concers about ploughing millions into a new ground ( which will not be in coventry) which will only be getting the 2-3000 die hard fans....NOPM will work, can't believe fans a questioning it after one game.Have SISU bought the land, no! Oh what a surprise.
Rotherham moved to within a mile of there town centre with their new stadium and Millmoor is still in use.
Most Cov fans i speak to don`t like the Ricoh because of
Location
Lack of atmosphere
To far away from town centre
Boring old bowl design
They're not going to let them build another ground in coventry when we already have one. It's not just the local council who have to give them planning permission it goes as high as government to pass sisu's plan . It's also more than just a new ground sisu would have to pay for, they would have to put money into the local area and redevelopment scheme's. Tottenham had their application for a new ground turned down as it wouldn't benefit the local area....can't see sisu coming up with a viable plan for a new ground...it won't happen. ...
