That's a planning issue, why did the council try and insert a clause to prevent us from having it as an option?But that wasn't so simple, Nick. Lots of people, myself included, said it wouldn't happen because of all the obstacles.
People can of course come to the conclusion that it is screwing Sisu over, but I don't think it was as simple as that.
The opposition to 25,000 at the Butts would have been absolutely huge.
A lot of factors involved that can't just be concluded as CCC screwing Sisu over.

Hang on there, sunshine! We were talking about moving away and building a new stadium long before Wasps!SO this is what happens then, Wasps force CCFC out of the ricoh, Council try their best to make it difficult to move somewhere (use butts as an example) so it means going outside of Coventry. You get angry at SISU?

Never saw something like that coming..Just as an idea...I do believe Sisu will have been in charge of our club 9 years in December. I think a 'Sisu Out' chant in the 9th minute of each game would be an idea??

If you really think the council 'tried their best' to block it then so be it. But for me that is in the realms of paranoia and fantasy.So because it wasn't so simple you turn a blind eye to the council trying their best to block it?
Nope.I am sure you will still be supporting then if we move out because CCC try and block any sort of new stadium or anything at all within the boundaries? (leaving Wasps out of it for you)
How do you suggest taking control of the destiny then? What was it that happened when there was word of doing something with the Butts?
Oh yeah, the council tried to nip it in the bud. Nobody batted an eye lid about it.

Do you really think the council would try their very best to block it because of Sisu?
I find that far fetched beyond belief if so.
Would think Nuneaton and Leamington and Rugby and Stratford and the likes, would all dream of being a league club one day.
Any talk of us moving elsewhere mooted on here always only seems to talk in terms of what land is available for us.
Never see any discussion as to how that would impinge on the local club already entrenched there in that location.
We would be just as bad as Wasps in that aspect, to just buy up land and move to another town.
Would be entirely wrong to move to Nuneaton. Wholly and morally wrong.
Why did they insert a non football related clause then?

But why would they, to watch that shit.Some probably can't, let's not pretend it's like that for everybody though. They could get a season ticket for 35 a month.
Following on from my post, it would be nice to ascertain (in this fantasy game we are playing) where would be okay for us to move to and where wouldn't.
Very clear for me. It is okay to be outside the city boundaries, but it has to be closer to Coventry than any other town and city. So, don't mind it being in the borough of Rugby, but it needs to be closer to Coventry than to Rugby.
After what has happened to us, it would be entirely wrong to have our football club adversely effect a fellow local football club.
So, where is okay? And be careful of any hypocrisy after all the franchise, gnashing of teeth wailing and bemoaning in regard to Wasps.
Yep. Ditto on that.Hypothetically, because let's face it the notion that SISU are going to build a stadium is pure fantasy land. I don't have a problem with it being the other side of the A46 or A45 for instance, somewhere like Bagington. However if it was on the outskirts of Rugby or Nuneaton, forget it. I'll just go and watch Rugby town more instead.
I do put massive ifs in to make that clear...Ha ha ha. Block any sort of new stadium. Good one Nick.
Who's going to pay for that then Nick? SISU? How are the plans going on that?
You're getting angry about what you think someone will do about something that's never going to happen.
Just to add. In the unlikely scenario that SISU do all of a sudden become property developers as you well know the council can't refuse planning simply because it's CCFC applying. As you also know it's the secretary of state who has the final say not CCC.
Yep. Ditto on that.
Think it would be very hypocritical of us to move in on someone else's turf after all the hoo hah we have created over Wasps coming in here.
We can't do a Wasps and we can't do an MK Dons (like just shipping in our club to Rushton and Diamonds for example).
I know Grendel talked of moving miles away, but I really don't think we have sat down and thought how our moving would negatively effect the area where we move to.
Yeah bumuda park would be acceptable to me. I can't see there being a new stadium in Coventry (I don't think they will build one anyway) as the council will make things as difficult as possible - they want to force us to stay at the Ricoh and be a cash cow for wasps.I do put massive ifs in to make that clear...
Do you not think ccc would make it as difficult as possible?
As far being moved, yes if we ended up in rushden or Kettering or anything I'd be done. Bermuda park would be fine.
It's hard to say without knowing a place and different people will judge it differently.

Bermuda Park is 2.5 miles from Nuneaton town centre and 9.4 miles from Coventry city centre.Yeah bumuda park would be acceptable to me.

Nope.So with your logic you'd rather a stadium in Southam than near Bedworth?
I wouldn't worry too much about Nene Park. Sure I read somewhere the other month that plans to demolish it and redevelop it into a retail park with a cinema, office block and some housing has been approved.
Nope.
I think the council would be very happy indeed to have two big successful sporting clubs here in the city.
It is seemingly just Sisu they have a problem with.
Pay attention!Why not? CV postcode - nowhere near anyone else?
