The Ricoh.. (14 Viewers)

Still need a safety certificate from the Council's licensing department though (i think) ...

But mmmmmmmmm .... 10,000 butts!

Yeah, I'm dubious about this planning permission thing too.

Boddy has been in the council office

Excuse me kind sir, we are making a Phoenix Football Club to really show SISU and hurt them. We need to be able to have 10,000 at the Butts though, it's called Otium Entertainment as it doubles up as a 90's porn provider so not Coventry City FC.

"Where do we sign?"

 

[Liquid Gold]

I'd like the butts and I cannot lie

Just been told by a work colleague who's mate works at City that we are going to play at the Butts next season, temporary stands with 10,000 capacity and a new pitch.

I can't see it myself.

This may pour some fuel on to the Butts rumour fire, but the current footballing occupants are yet to sign an extension to their current deal, but are on the brink of doing so. A 10 year deal apparently.

Surely that's not adding fuel but taking it away? Unless of course they don't sign it

Not fuel then is it? If cov utd staying 10 years the fires out

I always thought temporary meant a maximum of 28 days in planning terms. Could be wrong

 

[Otis]

When Solihull moles knew they were gonna be in the play offs they got told they had to add seats (with roofing) to their stadium and they done it in like two weeks. albeit it looked like Bristol rovers shit new stand they bragged about this season but it was knocked up quick

Sounds like my 18 year old niece, Amy.

I think you’re right but you can take them down for a day and put them back up and it’s fine.

Sorry Willenhall SB, but I can't help but read this in a Vicky Pollard voice - and once you've done that. you can't undo it !

 

[cc84cov]

When is the deadline for the EFL to know where we’re playing ?

Next week I think, 28th/29th?

Sounds like a lot of work for once a month, expensive!

The safety inspection would have to be signed off every time too.

I'd hate to be the person who puts them all together, too much responsibility.

Just before anybody jumps in with "already planning season tickets at the Butts" as if people believe it is going to happen.

Here's where mine will be:

I will try to keep the celebrations to a minimum when we win the league . I will try to keep it to somebody in the top 5 rows.

 

[Nick]

So... Why haven't they signed it? Which side is stalling?

Are the executive boxes In the buildongs surrounding the ground? - reckon you'll need binoculars for the blue building on the right.

 

[Nick]

We could be really mental and open them and then cheer if a ball goes in.

I can't think of anything better other than a dog on the pitch. That includes Wembley.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Fuck off I already called it.

 

[chiefdave]

Realistically, how long would it need to get everything setup and a pitch sorted? Accrington started their pitch re-lay pretty much the day the season ended.

It is definitely technically possible. And of course the EFL may use their famous discretion to have us play all away games the first few weeks of the season.

AMI Stadium in Christchurch was built from scratch in under 80 days and that's an 18,000 seat stadium.


Volleyball stadium for the 2012 Olympics was 15,000 seats and that took 36 days to setup.


How likely it is, well that's a very different question.

 

[chiefdave]

Found this about planning, from a company that sells temporary buildings.

a structure that is going to stand for 28 days or less will NOT require planning permission. This means that it is quite possible to erect a temporary building without prior permission. If the structure stands for over 28 days, you can then apply for retrospective planning permission should the planning officer ask you to. Should your retrospective planning permission fail, then you will be required to remove the building.

As applying for permission before erecting the structure can take some months to finalise, and there would be little damage to your business should retrospective planning fail and you have to remove it, this can often be the best plan for structures required for only a short time.

I don’t know that. Their new 4G pitch hasn’t been started yet either.
