Not sure on parameters, but here's a picture:
Definitely room for substantial expansion if it was done smartly.
Plan:
1) Get SISU out.
2) Make friends with CRFC again.
3) Turn that into a 25,000.
4) Go to The Winchester and wait for it all to blow over.

Including the car park the Butts is about 5 acres.

Right, well the reason I ask has nothing to do with the Butts, other than as a comparison.
I mentioned this piece of land before. It is next door to the fire station on Radford Road. Used to be a British Gas place if I recall correctly. Between the Holyhead Road and Radford Road junctions of the ring road. Same side of the road as the fire station, so sort of opposite Wickes.
The land is now up for sale. Sign up today. 5.52 acres.

just a FYI Aberdeen have submitted plans for a 20,000 seater stadium and attached academy / training total cost is £40m with about £10m seemingly allocated on the training facilities.
Plans in for £40m Aberdeen FC stadium | Construction Enquirer
Given that its a clear site n that its not in somewhere like the Butts the construction costs will be less plus I would assume that land prices would certainly be less in Aberdeen as the housing pressures are not as great (I do know its an oil area).
So CCFC / SISU or whoever will be most likely looking at the sharp end of £30m + for a similar arrangement. Mr Fisher better start saving his pocket money.

If that's when the architects dress it up to look at its best, just how dull will it look when built!

we could play "Wembley" then you only need 1 goal
and with Sisu arranging the destruction of our fan base, maybe a bench to watch for anybody left
so basically any space about 20m square

Would be tricky due to the shape of the site rather than the total size. I have a feeling that there's something on site that needs to stay there as well.

Always thought that would be a decent location.
The uni is a possibility if you have a decent traffic management plan.

Thats a good shout for a potential new ground - not sure what's happening to the old fire station plot but proximity to city centre and railway station is great could help regenerate the canal basin also

Can't believe there are people still talking about a new stadium.:emoji_thinking:

Well, if it suits my argument, then yes. If it doesn't, then no... thought that was clear on here?

The thought of a city centre location for the ground gets me excite no matter how unlikely

Dollars to doughnuts Fisher looked around and found out the biggest possible site was 59 acres.
I don't see why you need 60 acres, but then I can't see the "massive room to expand" at the Butts either.
I maintain we knock down half the city centre, it's about the only regeneration plan that's likely to succeed. Failing that, Warwick Uni.
Anyone know how big HR was? That's got to be close to as small as you could go.

The new fire station is going on the old one isn't it?

Not the best shape for sure. Nice place for the academy though.

This is where we go wrong when a Fisher quotes figures he has no idea on figures look at his history with them.

That
Hardly going to find that in Coventry.
And I believe that the commercial outlets are essential if they want a developer to pay for it.,
That was to include a training base and Academy as well as commercial outlets as i recall.
