Is it not worth waiting until N&B respond until we charge in like a bull in a china shop, it worries me that they have not responded and also why are we not jumping on them for an immediate answer, surely we need this answer before the stadium forum?
If N&B come back with the right answer( ie they have not heard anything) then surely the forum should be cancelled or even boycotted or the fans go to ask the right questions and not pander to this new stadium crap.

Even without an answer from N&B we know Fisher and Labovich have lied as they both stated they were talking to 2 councils.

 

[Kingokings204]

wtf

he Is obviously a moron. Don't worry

 

[Kingokings204]

explaining anyway Robo. This is making me very angry.

Point taken but it wouldnt mean a thing if N&B were to advise that they are in discussions with CCFC.

It will be interesting to see if or how the Coventry Telegraph/CWR report this as this is something they should have done as part of their in-depth, investigative reporting.

A little whisper has been doing the rounds in sunny beduff about the fields next to the M6 off bowling green lane. I know Bedworth RFC have part of the land because Rectory Fields is being built on apparently. Could the whisper be correct ?

Whilst I strongly think a new stadium will never be built, I had also heard this rumor about the club looking at land in the Nuneaton and Bedworth area, coincidentally within a not too large a distance from the Ricoh.

Suggest you try Northampton

Thats what worries me however could Nuneaton Town FC not lodge an appeal or would they try the unthinkable and to merge both clubs????? I wouldnt put it past those tossers.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Does anyone know of a map that shows the area covered by N&B Council..??

Perhaps they think Nuneaton and Bedworth are two? :thinking about:

Should be on their website, but its from just past the Ricoh (old Macro site) to just North of Nuneaton, and then up to Keresley pit village one side and to Blackhorse Road and Bulkington on the other. Surprisingly a lot of local land to the east is covered by Rugby BC.

I am just looking at it now can't really see any land that would stick out to me as being suitable, there is a huge amount of land off the Coventry Road.. but surely not.

One part of the southern boundary is a few hundred yards from the Ricoh Arena

they'd have no chance if NT were to get promoted before they start work on the stadium. Football League rules stipulate a club can only move into a new stadium if it would not adversely affect Clubs having their registered grounds in the immediate vicinity of the proposed location. Not sure if that applies to the conference or what they do in cases where a team are on the borderline of the Football League but at the very least it would give NT pretty strong grounds to object.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

There is a huge amount of land just off Gipsy Lane outside Nuneaton, looking at the Council's website I can't see any planning permission for anything to be built on it.

Edit: I have seen this "Residential development of upto 575 houses including a mixed use neighbourhood cenre, public open space, footpaths, cycleways, water attentuation basins, associated infrastructure, including realignment of Gipsy Lane, and potential site for a primary school" can't really tell you if tht's the land I am referring too.

Most the green is in Bedworth

not wishing to knock the work done already by asking the councils - but i really think they should have asked Northampton Council also. I would not put it past our clubs owners to plan to build just inside the border south of Rugby just off the M1 junction at Crick. This would be about 14 mile from Cov. ( which isnt obviously our City,county or otherwise). Sisu would no doubt make the arguments that 'closer councils' would not entertain them, closer than Northampton, motorway connection etc etc.
End of for me if this happens

They need to get fans in to support.
If it's there it will not be viable for them, surely.

Rugby cover Shilton towards Bulko don't they

Theres no land there as its all earmarked for DIRFT, and anything right next to Crick would be booted out. I think this one would be a certain no-go.

I am not saying it is, I just want to look at the land around that area.

 

[Moff]

Yep and Ansty, Wolvey, and almost into Bulkington.

 

[lewys33]

Would they even get planning permission in N&B for a stadium with

1) Nuneaton playing there
2) The Ricoh so close?

I suppose if they planned to also build a community centre with it as such was tooted that might help there cause.

If it's not happening why would the high profile Chair Person of the Coventry Chamber of Commerce Chair the CCFC Stadium Forum??????????

The Ricoh being close is a red herring - it's close but isn't in use as a football stadium because the team have moved!

 

[italiahorse]

Don't forget that the stadium is only part of a retail estate that needs to have some footfall.
In addition they want the stadium to be used 365 days a year.
Who would travel to any of these locations in Numbers?

You would have to be looking for an area that is close to a large urban development. One that does not already have a retail park.
These type of areas have already been done to death.

This must be the first time Sandra Garlick has ever been called that..

 

[The Gentleman]

But is it though ? because if someone started a new club and somehow got permission to play there eventually, the new team would be in the fucking Premier League by the time Legoland was built.

 

[dongonzalos]

Well they said they were in discussions with TWO councils about a new stadium

Just cause Nuneaton have not replied yet does not mean there have been discussions.

There is another possibility people are overlooking....

At the point of applying for PP, who knows. It was a mostly tongue in cheek comment.

Thanks for that cracking insight. I don't think anybody had considered that.

She is being paid for it.
I would do it if they paid me. Like all good lawyers you don't have to side with, or believe your client, as long as they are paying !!!
