Isn't Knowle close to Solihull?How would people feel about a stadium there if the boundary changes?

It is more about the boundary being moved I guess
Ah, close threadIt's only the constituency boundary for the parliamentary seat, not the boundary of the city.
That'll be the next court case then. Joy saying it should be the constituency boundary not the city boundary.It's only the constituency boundary for the parliamentary seat, not the boundary of the city.
Does this mean that CCC have control past where the boundary of the city is?

Yeah, and not the local Conservative party one.This is about the parliamentary seat not the City boundary isn't it.
I think moving to Solihull would result in the club falling into the Conference.
It is more about the boundary being moved I guess, it will open up more potential places within "Coventry" where it could go.
Knowl is a bit of a mission, can't see that being classed as Coventry.
I did try and change the title so people didnt think it was an announcement.
Will it open up more places though? Haven't the FL said that the new stadium must be within a certain distance from a certain point in the city centre? Surely you can change the boundaries as much as you like it isn't going to change the distance from the city centre.
No not at all.I live in Knowle and would gladly welcome a stadium here. Knowle FC have a ground with a stand that holds about 100. That'd do?
Can't read the article as all the Wasps adverts on there send my work PC into meltdown.
When Fisher first started banging on about a new stadium and I thought they might actually have a plan I thought they would try and move us the NEC. With HS2 and the airport there you could see any other facilities that were part of a new stadium build generating money. Funnily enough if they had done that they could have put in a bid for the NEC itself when Birmingham Council had to sell it to pay their court case.
Wouldn't have a problem with Meridan, Knowle could be trickier, you'd def want to be the side by the motorway. I can see the sense in Meridan being part of Cov rather than Solihul but Knowle is a strange one, presumably there's some other places in between being moved to Cov as well.
It was 9 miles from the council house I think. Remember measuring it out and it just about worked out. To where I thought it could be is slightly over 9 but close enough that it probably would have got through.I thought the same & they got slapped down by the FA. In fact I am certain Fisher made some comment about 9 miles (which is the distance of the HS2 interchange site from Coventry city centre) but I'm damned if I can find a link, a gold star to anyone who can track that comment down.

What is the NEC actually classed as, its not far enough to be in Solihull is it?
Not the NEC but the site of the proposed Hs2 interchange at Middle Bickenhall.

I reckon the road triangle to the East of the station would be developed for leisure & housing if the interchange ever gets built.
No problem at all with a new town as long as that new town was called Coventry.Well what do you know.. can you see new Highfield Road?
"Hello Greater Birmingham" Plan for new town between Cov and Brum
Not sure what Greater Birmingham has to do with anything. Its part of Solihulls UK Central Hub plan so it will either be a new town or, more likely given its size and location, be part of Solihul.Well what do you know.. can you see new Highfield Road?
