Oh to have a council like this.

What's so great that their council have done then? Reading that, it appears the council have made it clear they would not encourage or support the club's request for planning permission to extend, and that a new stadium is their only option. How have their council been so helpful? Or is this yet another tired old excuse to bang the same old drum?

"Therefore, we feel we have no other option but to find a new site and are working closely with Bournemouth Borough Council to identify a suitable location."
To paraphrase Life of Brian, what have Coventry Council ever done for us?

With respect, Fisher told everyone he already had the locations secured back in 2013, didn't he? What does he need CCC's help for, if he's already solved the conundrum?

And, stated he didn't want CCC's help:
'Any prospect of building a new stadium within Coventry’s boundary was completely ruled out during the meeting – with unproven allegations of wrongdoing against Coventry City Council cited as the reason for that. Comments attributed to Tim Fisher in the meeting read: “There are investors interested, so long as the physical resource is outside of Coventry (due to Coventry Council doing a hostile takeover of the club they don’t wish to invest in Coventry).”

They did exactly this and more before during and after the building of the Ricoh, there's been a lot of
Toxic water under this particular bridge since then.

Christ the council were fast onto you with the Bat Phone.
MMM ' Yes CCC what is it?'
CCC - 'Somebody is being mean about CCC on SBT, can you help'
MMM 'Straight onto it, just let me find a Fisher quote to help my cause'
puts phone down before he hears the CCC spokesman say, don't bother, its not worth it, every Fisher quote is a lie, everyone knows he is Bullsh*tter, the value of quoting him is zero.
Back in the real world, hope you are well MMM.

I would settle for an owner with a pocket.

Our owners have massive pockets. They are so big that their hands can't reach the bottom to find some loose change to throw at our club.

Bournemouth will have an interesting time trying to secure a site for a stadium. They could try Sandbanks... the lands really cheap there! ! !

Not sure if you were referring to my post Wingy? If so I agree with MMM that Fisher is full of shit. I just like taking the piss out of MMM though. It goes back a long way

Just been on their local news station [ Their council understands their need to move and will assist them in every way they can ] Kings Park is a non started for what AFCB need .
No indeed Moff MMM portrayal of the man is accurate to me, but more than being a liar, he is a divider.Not sure if you were referring to my post Wingy? If so I agree with MMM that Fisher is full of shit. I just like taking the piss out of MMM though. It goes back a long way

Cant see that myself. Everyone hates SISU, bar one or two.
I get tired of writing about my hatred of them, they don't seem to give a shit, about my, yours or anyone's dislike of them, they are still entrenched and here.

If there is any inspiration to be drawn from the plight of others then one club whose supporters have suffered more than ours and come out of it in better shape than before it's Wimbledon. If they can do it with a significantly smaller fan base than ours then surely we can.

They all have big pockets, sadly most have short arms.
Probably what Bournemouth are likely to experience should they end up potless and relegated.
I guess they'd try and approve some plan that could piggyback some further economic development into the scheme even if someone else made the financial benefit.
That may even be a reason why the upgrade has been declined, similar to us, possibly.

Just to add that they've never asked for it either. Bournemouth are already ahead of the game there. They've realised that if you want the help of the local council asking is probably a good place to start. Mind you if I was using building a new ground as a red herring I probably wouldn't be asking the local council for help either. Why take the risk that they may take you up on your request.
