wanted - new excuses for not attending City games as old ones expired. Will pay cash.
Oh the non believers
What were you saying?Right
What were you saying?
How wonderful for students, being in such easy access of the ground. One of my mates went to the Lanch in the 80s and went to HR - still has a soft spot for the city. I expect many more fans as a result. If the club is smart it will do half-price or less tickets for the students.

Nice work my digital friendSounds reasonable. So how about this instead… given this will be right next-door to Cryfield Farm, call it… Cryfield Road?

Looks good, even better that my house is on this picI’ve mocked up what the proposed location might look like with the addition of the A46 Strategic Link Road and the new Coventry South station, along with what I expect will be a necessary linking road between the A46 SLR and Gibbet Hill Road (along with the HS2 route, since that would go very near by, although alas without a station any nearer than Brum).
I have to say this looks pretty damned good. Screw the Ricoh, they can tear it down.

Also, in addition to the VLR station, do you know where the city/county border is?
One thing I do hope they will think of doing is create some kind of bank and/or wooded boundary to soften crowd noise between the stadium and the posh houses. Don’t want to make any more enemies
There's maps here that show that:Also, in addition to the VLR station, do you know where the city/county border is?
Talking of which, did anyone hear Cllr. John Blundell's interview regarding the new stadium this morning. Heard a snippet which sounded like it might have been negative (unsurprising as he's well entrenched in all of this and I believe he lives by the university). Anyone hear what was said?
Here, from around 2hr 16mins in, not listened myself yet.
Snippets of presenters I heard on the show were very sceptical, bordering on snide - doubt he'll be much different.

Opposition leader Councillor John Blundell (Conservative, Wainbody) told Tuesday's meeting the Tory group would lend its support to Wasps' bid.
"After some initial reservations, and after listening to the arguments and after many hours of discussion, we will be minded to support the resolution subject to further consideration in private," he said.
"If Wasps are successful they would want to build a training facility in the Coventry area.

Think you forgot the link
I spent a lot of time poring over the maps today to see if any of the existing plans for the VLR might take it near the stadium, and they don’t. The best guess I have is it’d go down the Kenilworth Road as far as Gibbet Hill Road, but there’s lots of question marks over how it could even reach that far (like crossing Kenpas Highway?).
There's maps here that show that:

Very sketchy plans
Thinks it will be to the South of Gibbett Hill Road
Insufficient infrastructure
Residents will be unhappy
Refers to it as an "issue" for residents to contend with
Stoneleigh Rd & Gibbett Hill already total bottle neck, grave concern
Very long process, at least 5 years
Irresponsible to undertake a project without resident approval
It's a tram system, so could/would use the road network. Goes along some similar roads for brief periods in Sheffield.
