Do i get a prize ??
I am expecting the location to be
somewhere they purposely can't get planning permission. Then we will get the normal the worlds against them routine.
Just more time delaying tactics because the Jr will go on for years.
Where is the city boundary? Wouldn't that site be so close to the city that CCC would be involved due to traffic flow, potential infrastructure changes etc?
As they said on the article sometimes they can have discussions with certain parties that are kept confidential, I think they will come back to the Sky Blue Trust and confirm that they have spoken to the Club's owners.
I could have confidential discussions with the Council about purchasing land, doesn't mean jack if I don't actually buy it.
I agree with that, however it shows that Sisu are doing something, you have to wonder what there motive is behind it? Time will tell, like I said in a previous post until land is bought and a brick is laid I will also remain very skeptical.
I still cannot believe the risk SISU have took taking our club to Northampton, planning to build a new stadium without a land purchase in place. I still don't have any faith in this latest ripple of a development.

I think we all know what there motive is. Otherwise, surely if this non story is to be believed then why not drop the JR ? Do we really think they are doing it for the good people of Coventry when they have shown how much they are prepared to shit on us ?
if they have actually done something, its all speculation based on 1 non reply from N&B council and an old golf course that cant get planning consent to build much needed housing on. i'm sure sisu are enjoying the speculation though.
until land is purchased and the first brick is laid I will be very skeptical.
Time will tell but Tim won't
wonder if they will start with my brick, or if thats going to stay at the Ricoh ?
It's rubbish.
I was at the open planning meeting last year at the Council Chambers for one of the other cases that was being reviewed at the same time.
The original proposal for 200 homes and a wharf for the canal was rejected by the Council before the planning meeting.
The new proposal for a reduction to 160 homes was recommended for approval by the planning officers but rejected by the councillors even though the officers said an appeal would be made and it would be for the 200 homes with advice that the appeal would almost certainly be accepted. Not sure how the appeal has done yet but if it has not been approved for houses then it will certainly be rejected for a stadium.
The reason for the objections was the access out of Blackhorse Road and in particular the increased railway crossing usage which already ties local residents up for up to half an hour at certain times.
A stadium down there would make it impossible to get cars out for several hours so this article is almost certainly absolute garbage.
In addition it should be noted that when the NUCKLE railway project is eventually implemented the volume of trains will increase.
The CET should concentrate on SISU bullshit rather than waste time on speculative paper selling articles.
I think I see where you mean, the large undeveloped area just north of Sephton Drive, bordered by the railway on the west and the canal on the east, there is certainly more than 60acres there, but it has bugger all road links, so I don't think it would be a feasible site for a new stadium as it would cost far too much to build a dual carriageway to it, and also just how long would it take to buy all the land on the route of an access road & get planning for that too! Nope mate, it makes very little sense.

I don't understand why the potential locations are a secret anyway ????
Are there other stadium developers also looking for land in the Coventry area that they are in competition with ????
Have you not heard anything about your brick mate?
Well they've set up the Stadium Forum, produced sketches, employed consultancy companies to aid them in purchasing suitable land..
Have you not heard anything about your brick mate?
Please see below the new stadium sketches that I've just produced. Does this mean I've done something towards building my own stadium?
Easy to produce a sketch.
Well done you. If that was the only thing Sisu would have done then I would say you might have a point, but they've done more than that, whether you like it or not they're doing something behind the scenes, the main question is to what end?
no news is good news

I agree Hobo this article in my opinion is a well educated guess from Coventry Telegraph, but I think they have the Sky Blue Trust as they narrowed the possibilities down for them.
Sisu are taking a huge risk and everything would say that they're trying to get the Ricoh on the cheap and this is a well educated ploy, however Sisu and Fisher are stating differently in which the fans do not trust..
What a laugh. The access is Blackhorse Road with a humped back bridge at one end and a level crossing the other, one pub that holds about fifty people and newish housing estate at the side and a canal one side a rail line the other, to create decent access they will have to knock half of Bayton Road industrial estate down
Its a good point, they also put that temporary sign up outside Sixfields
I mean they've set up the stadium forum and employed consultant companies, I am not going to say they're building a new stadium, just why would you go to that extent?

Hi guys, just to clarify a few questions I've seen pop up:
We had submitted FOI requests as well as the Trust - although they slightly beat us to the punch in terms of getting most of the info out!
The only differences were we also asked Stratford where as the Trust hadn't. But the Trust asked Hinckley, which we hadn't.
We received a reply from N&B whereas the Trust had not (at the time of writing)
Our requests related to building large seated sporting stadia rather than mentioning CCFC /Otium / Sisu specifically as to avoid any "commercial sensitivity" sidestepping.
The housing development at Exhall was thrown out on the grounds of access and infringing on green belt.
We're not saying it will happen, just that this seems the most likely location for a potential new stadium taking into account all the information we have and the people we have spoken with.
I hope that helps.
Happy to answer any other questions I can.
