What does Maton mean? I don’t think I’ve seen a partnership like this before. The only thing that would have added to it was a supportive comment from warwick district council.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Seems a positive move and although on the wrong side of own town for me it’s not about me. People like Maton don’t need to worry as they are not welcome at The Mark Robins Arena (we could name our standing area after Jimmy Hill).

I imagine the land is clean so we don’t have to pay for decontamination a couple of times.

Would take this

Have to disagree with you unfortunately. Just from an access point of view alone, it's awful. I can't honestly believe many fans come away from a trip to Shrewsbury thinking "Yes - this is what my club should aspire to"

Well it's obviously not going to be on the outskirts of fucking Shrewsbury is it.

The bloke rarely even knows what day it is.

 

[Liquid Gold]

The Telegraph are already quoting Keiran Maguire that a stadium will be £100m as a headline.

Maguire has shown he hasn't got a clue when talking about City, they only trot him out as he gives a massively negative view, same as David Conn.

Don’t know if it’s been said anywhere, what do Warwick uni get out of it? If we’re having the whole stadium - what’s the benefit to them

Can you and @mark82 reach out for them to comment. Our local journos won't do it so we might have to.

Yeah a quick email to Duggins.

Has anybody spoken to Richard Keys?

I'd guess shared use of facilities in some form, a main one would be that any proper plans would help with local infrastructure improvements they already want to make

It sounds like they’re letting us use the land, rather than selling it. Maybe a lease of the land?

 

[mark82]

Why is he conflating rush hour traffic with traffic on Saturday afternoons and Tuesday evenings?

Plus, there's a link road and rail links planned.

Kevin Maton must have the roughest tongue with all the boots he licks.

 

[Bugsy]

What an absolute gob shite he is

 

[cc84cov]

Haha look at the fool,can see plenty of this coming out now but the bottom line is SISU have them RATTLED !!!

 

[Corrado]

I just can’t see this as happening and it’s a bluff to force Wasps hand for a deal / stake at The Ricoh.

People moan that the Ricoh is shit to get too. Warwick Uni / Gibbert Hill on any given day of the week, let alone a Saturday at 3pm will be carnage. The A45 will be an absolute clusterfuck.

Spent years playing hockey at Westwood / Warwick Uni and travelling into there has always been shite. If this goes ahead we’ve done exactly the same as what happened with the Ricoh with regards to a shit location for all transport means.

Well dont drive - use public transport and your legs! Problem solved

Leeds RU are basically a busted flush and are leaving Headingley as they can't afford it (particularly on crowds in the low hundreds!).

 

[SkyBlueSam01]

You want an arena we've got one to spare

 

[Gibbo]

Haven't scrolled through everything so if this is repetitive sorry

• If our source is right SISU have probably made several approaches to the University
• In retrospect they are an obvious partner - land / outside CCC area but in 'Coventry' / non-competing usage / scale
• Promotion may just have convinced the Univ that they can allow the talks to go public
• The commitment is so loose that either party can back out with no great loss of face
• You can bet they have identified a bit of land, but maybe not in detail. Or else it would not have got even this far.
• Univ might want leverage with CCC as well. Or might need revenue to replace Chinese students, who knows?
• I think we should call the ground Kenilworth Road ...... oh, maybe not.

What Coventry City have said so far about new stadium

We take you through what you can expect from the Sky Blues' new stadium in the words of those at the top of the club

Sounds like he’s got a whole lemon in his mouth and just bit into it.

They are now yes, when I was there Tykes/Carnegie were a decent championship/lower prem side

Just showing how a uni/pro sports club can benefit both partys

Corners

I agree. Think separate stands looks like a throwback to the 70s, but we are very much in a minority here who would have it all black and white and enforced flat caps on all supporters given the chance

I have a couple of flat caps but they do have a button on top !

That's how it's expanded, extra seats added in the corners.
