I'm back with a bang, new stadium confirmed and no Ricoh return.

Trawl through my post from several years ago, all the info is there
Bumping this on some information given me tonight, and I know I wrongly mentioned Ryton a while back so I await the barracking.
CCFC HAVE and are involved in talks with the University of Warwick about using land that is currently used by the University for Football, Cricket, Rugby
Meetings have taken place on atleast three occasions, the land I refer to is in Warwickshire not Coventry due to the fact that Gibbet Hill Road is the border between the two counties.
The area been talked about is considerably big enough to build a Stadium, and I know for a fact how ambitious the University is to become one of the biggest and best in the World so i definetly wouldnt rule it out.
sits back and awaits ...............
Yeah, but....nah.
If you have a look, I post quite a lot of Nonleague stuff. Became a massive fan of nonleague footy in the 00's thanks to sodding FM LLM'ing! Bought the Nonleague Paper every Sunday and read the lot. Still can't quite believe that Fleetwood are in the football league given how tiny they were back then...few 100 fans top.Hi... I was just wasting my time on this thread and I noticed your user name.... They are a bit like a tattoo, seem like a good idea at the time but a few years down the line (2 Promotions and a Cup at Wembley) you might wish you hadn't....
I promise I'm not having a go at you as I'm sure we all thought we were going in that direction.
Just made me chuckle...... Anyway PUSB's
CorrectSo stadium location will not be announced soon?
I agree, I just enjoy trying to get an answer from our friend RFC who likes to pop in and out. It wouldn't completely surprise me if they did buy some land though, and they don't need to speak to councils first to do that. I just think they might buy some to try and drag the game out a bit more...www.skybluestalk.co.uk
this one??

Don't believe it for a second but that would be a god awful place to build a stadium. Not that easy to access and absolutely nothing nearby.
Was that for me, Nick? I went from ST to a few games a season tops after Sixfields, yeah (and never went to Northampton). Never been to St Andrews though, no. Logistically near impossible for me really anyway now as someone who doesn't drive or have bottomless pockets for train tickets. No regrets, got out of the habit, saved some money and fell in love (so that keeps me busy!). SISU's choice, one regular paying customer lost.Did you boycott for 3 years? Missed a good few seasons.

Hey if they hadn't fucked off to Northampton, I'd still be going every week, but no chance. Not having a car or the money for trains though, it doesn't really matter, does it? I'm sure plenty of other fans don't go now cos the ground is a long way away IN ANOTHER FUCKING CITY!Don't want to start the usual arguments, but not sure St. Andrews was Sisu's choice. They had very little choice in the matter. But, that's for another thread.

tbf wherever we'd build a stadium would need a transport plan.The land around Warwick Uni is feasible in terms of the actual land. My concern would be transport infrastructure. Gets very busy down there when the business park kicks out, so would be gridlock for football. Would need to be a plan for this.

Oh and the Leamington story grabbed me big time when I moved here, were a big Southern League side in their heyday and were going through their "climbing back up the pyramid" phase. If their ground wasn't too far to cycle to on my bike I'd have ended up going there instead every week when Sixfields happened, but Harbury Lane just keeps going forever...
So yeah, but...nah!
Is this a bit like when people sell their houses "with panning permission" for something or other?
I’m sure I read somewhere that Warwick Uni to the City Center was likely to be one of theWould this help?? A46 Strategic Link Road – Warwickshire County Council
Think WestEndAgro is more likely to be thinking of this:

The land that Sphinx (and Cov Utd) play on is owned by Rolls Royce, apparently Sphinx just rent a year at a time (happy to be corrected if anyone knows better). 3 pitches already there, and other bits of land not really used.

But before anyone thinks WestEndAgro is the fount of all knowledge, he also wrote shortly afterwards in the Could be worse thread:
Fleck was always massively over rated, Don't think he ever produced more than a 7/10 performance, simply not good enough.

So track record as a visionary is flawed. Also said Cian Harries was the next John Stones. Not so far!
