NEWS: Sky Blues plans for new training ground heard by Inspector examining Rugby Local Plan - News - Coventry City
New facility in the Rugby Borough Council area, but yet to be named (or have planning submitted)
Does the Brandon Speedway site come under Rugby?
You're way behind, that was years ago!wasn't the plan to have the new training and academy facilities as part of the new ground ?

If the club get a better facility out of it I can't be fussed if the difference goes to the owners.Forgive my ignorance, this is a genuine question and not designed to dig at the owners whom (for the first time in a long time) I'm indifferent about based solely on this season. But what is the benefit of developing/purchasing a new training ground other than a large amount of money being paid to the owners by a housing developer? Is Ryton that bad? It looked more than adequate for a league 1/mid table Championship team when I went up to watch training, albeit that was 20 odd years ago as a child.
Is this not just a case of recuperating something against an almighty loss by the owners? I'm a bit concerned the only tangible asset (aside from players) is being sold off.
Happy (and hopeful) to be proven wrong on this one.

If the owners take all the money and the club ends up sharing a rented facility that's another story.
Incidentally, I read in one ot the reports about Accrington Stanley that they don't have a training facility. They must have access to some facilty but I don't know the details

I'm amazed that anybody really thinks that this is going to happen. Sisu have no interest in this club or its academy, They are a ruthless hedge fund not property developers.
This is another tick box exercise for the EFL etc. They will sell the land and pocket the money. Why anyone is entertaining this is beyond me.
Also bear in mind that Dave Boddy was behind the whole scam at Worcester City.
Surely we are all aware of what is going to happen here??
Well said.I'm amazed that anybody really thinks that this is going to happen. Sisu have no interest in this club or its academy, They are a ruthless hedge fund not property developers.

It’s a huge worry - with their history how can we trust SISU?I'm amazed that anybody really thinks that this is going to happen. Sisu have no interest in this club or its academy, They are a ruthless hedge fund not property developers.

The cafe must not close!Ryton organic gardens is up for sale... most probably for housing, but would be plenty big enough... (22 acres..)
and has a very nice cafe on site (Stock Pot)
I travel around the country watching the Acadamy kids and most if not all other clubs have their first team training facility alongside their Acadamy or even multi-sports Bristol City for example these’s rugby, a ladies football stadium and umpteen pitches. I fail to see why now Wasps seem to have abandoned their plans st the Higgs our first team couldn’t move there, with a bit of tinkering everything is there and it’s in Coventry.
The question would also be whether the club were to own any new training ground.
Is it really? Surprised. Always seems busy and it's expensive for what it is too.Ryton organic gardens is up for sale... most probably for housing, but would be plenty big enough... (22 acres..)

Not expensive for what you get.Is it really? Surprised. Always seems busy and it's expensive for what it is too.

There is land plenty of it at the old Severn Water site adjacent to the Higgs sitewhere a decent training ground could be put, could fit a stadium there too !!I would imagine Sport England would want to ensure a long term lease/rental agreement would be in place for that to happen. I don't think the trustees of the Trust would be keen on that.
