I would say there is more of a future IF we are getting all of the income from it from football and non football things compared to the deal at the Ricoh as it was.
It really depends on what size it actually is (where did 12k come from) and how easily it can be upgraded?
8 mile radius - http://www.freemaptools.com/radius-...172087669373&r=12.87&lc=FFFFFF&lw=1&fc=00FF00
CCC Boundary - https://www.google.com/fusiontables....5269991859131538&z=11&t=1&l=col2&y=5&tmplt=3
Dunno how to overlay the two.
The question was asked by a few people last night as to whether building a new gorund in Coventry was possible - and that if the economic impact was right and the project was valid that CCC would find it hard to reject.
Tim seemed pretty convinced that they would never get permission. You have to say that it would seem totally illogical to allow a 2nd stadium to be built inside the council boundaries. Even if the project stood up economically, the council can put so many blockages in the way that it would just be unviable.
I think - my opinion - the reality is its either the Ricoh or outside the boundaries. If you look at the 2 maps i uploaded there are brownfield sites not far out of the boundary. My worry is how far 8 miles actually is! -
Not far from Solihull to the West
Practically in Nuneaton to the North
Practically in Leamington to the South
Practically in Rugby to the East
Could you accept us playing in Rugby or Leamington?
I think most would go back if it was in Coventry apart from the Hardcore SISU OUT group, they would be attending functions at the Ricoh instead.
No, what came from SISU was a size of 18,000
Like you did for the charity game I presume?
It came from SISU, they said they want to model their (fictional) new stadium on Rotherham's, which holds 12,000 and took four years to build. The fact is they have not moved on and never will do until they have wrung dry ever legal process to distress and under-value ACL. You seem to be very picky about which facts you listen to at the moment - maybe it is just optimism?!
eh? How does that even work? If ACL called their bluff we'd be at the Ricoh on a rental deal. But we're in Northampton.
Yep but that was at least ccfc related, wasn't it?
With 1,600 paying customers, i think ACL called their bluff. Do you think they are holding all the aces?
Yes, eventually ........ £20M gets you started at 12,000 based on TF reference to Rotherham as an example.
I guess expansion will pit you unto the 18,000 although Rotherham is quote 20,000.
I suppose if you settle for 20,000 then 18,000 is not far off.
We will be established at L1 level with the dizzy heights of the Championship as a goal.
It kind of annoys me that some people on here think those on the SCG are so naive.
I have only ever reported what was said in the meeting and left you all to discuss it and form opinions. I have an opinion which is probably the same as most that a stadium won't be built and that the only real solution is to be back at the Ricoh.
That said everyone thought they were bluffing with Northampton so I'm careful not to underestimate.
I don't think we are used as pawns - we should be there to talk about things we can actually influence but at the moment we can't possibly talk about anything other than the mess we find ourselves in.
People do challenge and question in the meetings and I think Steve does himself a disservice as he is excellent at pushing Tim Fisher on difficult topics.
At the moment, the SCG are one of the only lines of communication into the club from the fans and we only have a limited amount of time at meetings. We'll ask questions and can only report what were told.
No, what came from SISU was a starting size of 18,000

Yes but it was at the Ricoh and just remind me do CCFC play there ?
Missed this, when did they say that?
TF said "like Rotherham" and yesterday said it will cost £20M
Rotherham is a 12,000 seater that cost £20M (Familiar?)
TF said it will be expanded as necessary.
Rotherhams can be expand in steps to 16,000 then 20,000.
You make an educated guess !!
It is all rumors at the minute, I take nothing as fact.
I just quoted it above, but everyone chooses to ignore it because it doesn't suit a particular agenda!
Really, the masses have decided 12,000, so 12,000 it will be.
Given they've offered a big enough stick to beat them with (8 miles is a long way) why on earth bother making up fabrications that they said 12,000 when they said it would be modelled on Rotherham's (i.e. the modular expandable construction) with a starting capacity of 18,000?
No, what came from SISU was a starting size of 18,000
Not now no and I guess that day made me see I didn't really care about ex players or anything else and it had no feeling at all
I thought I would go as an alternative after it was bigged up, I didn't go to support acl I just wanted to watch football

Fisher said 18,000 was enough attendance, I presume that means when fully extended as I'm pretty sure a lower figure initial was mentioned at the July forums.

Fucking hell.
I'm out.
You've all decided something so you'll stick to it no matter what.
SISU OUT!
NOPM!
ad infinitum.
Thats all I want to do so cut the crap out of your posts about the people who want Sisu out
Are you reading something I'm not?
"Attendance? Around 18,000, and I will argue that 18,000 is enough. Then if things go well over time, it grows."
Well you sixfields lot can follow timmy and co to his tiny ground but there will be a lot who won't.
A 12k stadium is a disgrace. It just shows the plans they've got for the club. Decades in league 1 beckons.
Some fans get what they deserve though.
They are talking of a £20m spend on the ground and for that you will get a 10,000 seater.When city hauled them selves out of the lower leagues highfield road held up to 50,000.They took 13,000 to peterborough that is why with big support they could finance the climb up the league. With a 12,000 seater they will not be able to finance anything.
