Stadium update (20 Viewers)

[fatso]

Nope. I was born and bred in Rugby and moved into Leicestershire cos it was cheaper here (like everything Lesta), and I definitely don't have 6 fingers or sex with my own family ( apart from my wife )

You are forgiven 🩵

Think a fan park of some description would be best. Even add in an away fans zone as well to give them something near the ground.

Considering we have 26k going up nowadays I think any fan entertainment is available on the main site/ casino, Dhillons, burger bars, fast food from external companies will be Tesco side in a few months. If there was a 60k stadium it may be a different offer.

Perhaps a Hotel is an option but even that would be measured against demand. Pull the hotel out of the stadium and there’s potential 6000 seats (If building upwards)

Now, Hinckley. Was in Sharnford from '83 to 2004.
Wasn't actually born in the town either, but at Rugby St Mary's Maternity, Harborough Magna.

good old St Mary's. I only asked cos I went through Sharnford on Sat and there was a guy and his daughter waiting outside the pub in Monzo shirts, and I wondered if it was you.

if anyone on here fits that description, I'm sorry I couldn't stop and offer you a lift.

Lived in Sharnford first year of my life, before my family moved back to Coventry.
Nice place.

Hence me talking about building flats on there. Regular income.

......shows how far this club has come when we can talk about stuff like this.

Open up a shopping mall on the right hand side as you walk in

Because retail outlets are booming.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Build across the railway onto the land opposite! That could create a tunnel and a station under the new stand

 

[robbiethemole]

Extend the platform to take more than two coaches

 

[oneofourown]

Why have Cov Rugby team there? They have the Butts and have big plans for it to bring it up to premier standard then we can have two majestic stadium in the city.

 

[oneofourown]

Bloody hell some on here have become yampy since Doug bought the stadium. They can't do anything about the station (extended) because the train goes across the busiest line in Europe (Brum to Cov). If, and its a big 'if' then a shuttle could be doable but between the stadium and Nuneaton, not Coventry (haha). The only way they can improve access from the station, and they are doing it, is to have a better shuttle system.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

On the arena train station. Will be in our best interest to up scale it to allow it for match days and concerts. What are the issues around its use for both?

Not often wearing wellies to the bogs at the cbs though

Economic migrant?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

On the earlier points, apparently this is the land in the arena leasehold outside of the arena and car parks A and B.

I don't think the point about the West Coast Main Line between Coventry and Birmingham being the busiest in Europe is correct, I've seen this said on an earlier post maybe on a different thread.

I think the average number of trains daily from Coventry to Birmingham is just short of 140 whereas 2000 plus pass through Clapham Junction

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Sitting in a carpark until 5-30 on Saturday really fucks up the feel good factor for sure

I feel for you Robbie, people are going to have to change their habits at the end of the game as long as you haven't got a rush off for anything, not likely to be able to do that if you're stuck in a car park, just spend an hour after the game in the Casino, Anecdote or even shopping at Tesco's, they are also building two new food restaurants in the car park at Tesco's, but with a bit of luck, now that Doug Kings in charge let's hope we get a fans Village to use before the game and after the game.

Clapham Junction is exactly that though a junction. Where a number of lines come into the station and diverge. It's not one line.

That's very true but it's not beyond the realms of possibility to have a dedicated branch line to Nuneaton without crossing the WCML.

Indeed. The plan is for a flyover (or under) type of arrangement at Treacletown (iirc).

Definitely not me, but used to use the Countryman and the Star (as was) regularly.
We lived right on the northern edge of the village, and were surrounded by exiled Cov Kids, several of which were ex Standard, and Pete next door still worked at the GEC. All, like us, moved there for a cheap detached that was less than the semi we'd just sold in Coombe Park Road.
I think the guy that now runs the Countryman (Bricklayer's now) is also the offspring of a Cov Kid.
Loads of them around the village.

They were ideas about having a bay platform at Coventry station to effectively run a shuttle to the arena

I live in Countethorpe and sadly surrounded by king power esnkers, although they’ve not been so visible recently
