So how long is now since we announced we will be building our new stadium. Am I correct that so far as fans we have seen some artist sketches and that is it?

Is it for the bit to the site and in between? They will cram houses in anywhere!

Yeah and they were by Salvador Dali, so no-one has a clue about where, why and how a stadium that looks like a melting umbrella would ever be a goer.

I would have thought the chap that runs CRFC would need to explain what was happening at the Butts. He's the one who has said that he is in the process of puchasing land around the stadium with a view to expansion.
Remember all CCFC have said about the Butts is 'no comment'

No official comment no ......... but haven't we been told that "sources" close to the club had confirmed this and that?
In any case the CCC SHLAA is only an outline plan aimed at proving what could be done in respect of housing. Its not cast in stone and alternative usage might be possible, with the caveat of it fitting in to the area in an appropriate manner. Matter of opinion as to whether a 15k or 20k seated stadium is appropriate or even possible

Read the text, it answers your questions, why you can't read it for yourself and interpret the information is beyond me.

I am struggling to see where it says which bits will be leisure and which bits will be 85 houses (whether it is the bit at the side or the back, or both). The front part to the road will be the Butts frontage.
It also doesn't mention anything about Cov Rugby owner and which bits he is trying to buy.

Sounds like there's no chance of rotating the ground to allow the site to be developed above 20k if that was ever possible in the first place. It seems that any development will have to be done on the existing position of the pitch which limits the development possibilities of the site. Also looks like the recreation ground is of limits too.
There's no scope here to move the club forward, it's as most have been saying it's another Red Herring. Probably to appease the FL on this occasion IMO. I can't believe it has fooled anyone even with an ounce of local knowledge.
Fine for CRFC and a non league football team, in fact could be a great little stadium for the right type of tenants.

Could be flats couldn't it? Seems more likely in that location.
I always got the impression the SHLAA was a bit of a bridge anyway to show they've thought about housing, though a long way off an actual proposal.

Very True, didn't think of that. Would fit in with the Extracare complex.

The area outlined in ink is what's available for development. The bits that will be leisure and the bits that are residential will depend on whatever plan's are submitted and then passed. The area outlined is a blank canvas. That's probably why CRFC are keen to take control of the surrounding land and the lease on the BPA. Once they have complete control of the whole site they can move forward with the development of the BPA.

Cheers, I got that it was within the lines and it was a bit of a mixture was more of putting it out there "Where would it go".
I guess it would make sense as Schmeee says for flats at the back and then the BPA stuff to the side and the front.

1) Active frontage for Stadium (ie not the back).
2) Development linked to former Tech College development (ie the bit that joins up with the rear area).
3) Consultations have taken place previously (presumably with Cov RFC, who else could it be).
I think this is enough to chew on. You'll not be spoon fed an answer in a situation like this, you have to read between the lines a bit.

Ah, I thought you meant in here. Ill have a read of the attachment when I get home!

The viability section basically says that the demand for apartments (high-density) needs to grow to make the site viable for a residential development. Let's face it, it's been derelict for a number of years.

Stick some student flats next to the old folks, that's work out fine
It's all students around there all ready.
Anyway I thought the plan was to move them all into the City Centre to free up proper houses for proper people.

I think I recall hearing about plans for a new stadium Jan 2013. So three years for a drawing!!
I feel sorry for those poor buggers who attended those stadium meetings.

Bit like those clowns who went down the pub with Hoffman, Elliot and Haskell I guess.

Ha ha a one off meeting whilst having a nice pint in the pub. That at least did see an attempt to do something afterwards. Bit like the ML PR meetings with fans.
No those poor buggers at the stadium meetings spent a lot of their time a numerous meetings. Very harsh.
3 years and a drawing it's quite mental really. I really hope Les Reid and the CET start really asking some proper questions about this.

in that map, could the pitch be turned 90 degrees? might make it a bit more acceptable but I dont want to go there it's too far from Rugby :sarcasm:

No the CET should have dismissed Haskell for the chancer he clearly was and the SBT and the council the same. The nonsense attempt at regime change led to mamy subsequent issues. Haskell never had any intention to buy and it resulted in major issues down the line.

How do you know he had no intentions ?
I suggest that if the Golden share was in the company it 'should' have been Sisu would be long gone.
