Didn't the Telegraph also promote the shit out of that game? I am sure it was on the front page and they were encouraging everybody to go.

A link up with Warwick Uni would be good. Their business expertise valuable. They are superb at conferencing, also their students union is one of the most profitable in the country and always has been.

I'm not surprised. Used Warwick a number of times for conferences and meetings. Always excellent, great food. Stayed over as well. The uni would be profitable as the beer ain't cheap.

when the rent debate was going on a lot of the anti-AcL/CCC group were holding up Swansea as the perfect scenario. now we have the possibility of a similar situation (rugby & football together) they don't seem so keen.

Regardless of the away fan following an 18,000 stadium isn't big enough. CET may have promoted the game, winning football is the best form of marketing.

The stadium will be in Bedworth or Exhall. That way they'll just have to deal with Nuneaton and Bedworth borough council, who i know for a fact would welcome CCFC with open arms!

Not quiet true. Yes they deal with Nuneaton and Bedworth but there would certainly be planning objections from ccc and possibly West Midlands and the whole project would find itself on the lap of Government for ratification, used to be John Prescott who okayed the Ricoh project, not sure who it is now. I am led to believe the old golf course at Hawkesbury is to be sold for housing anyway, a Blackhorse Road local told me that only the other day.

We could build the stadium on Eric Pickles.

The spare other half of the space would be used for exhibition halls, shopping malls, restaurants, casino's, hotels and car parking.

New ground? Its got to be the biggest joke of them of them all.

Shows the owners for what they really are. Its time they admitted there is no ground. They are fooling no one. Show me one scrap of evidence its real. Oh hang on no one can. Retards.

They cant afford to keep Calum Wilson let alone cough up the cash for a new ground! Jokers.

Not about the pie money, it's about income and revenue streams the other 340 days each and every year.

Regarding the building being started that will happen if and when the land purchase and planning go's-through but before that happens you have to jump through an enormous number of hoops.

Highways, environmental, local roads and transport links etc. etc.. Unfortunately authorities tend to move at a snails pace!

did you say authorities move at a snail's pace? SISU had 7 years to buy into a stadium, including a share in the all year round revenues, and ended up as tenant to a Rugby club. That is what I call slow.
