Few snippets from the uni:
They have put together a team internally to oversee the project.
The exact details of the location are tbc but it will land owned by the uni that is currently agricultural land and falls under Warwick District Council.
The stadium will be serviced by the A46 relief road for which the exact routing is apparently yet to be confirmed (maybe why the exact location is also to be confirmed)
Public consultation expected to start in the autumn.

In your view, do you think the project is legit and the club are seriously about building this new stadium?

This from a local teacher on that story :-CET running a story of what wasps fans think clearly haven’t taken it from their forum it’s all sad sorry stories on the CET shame they can’t print what they actually say on their forum
“As a 'Coventry Kid' born and bred, I was delighted when Wasps came to the city. I was proud that our city had helped an ailing giant of English rugby. A shrewd move by the council too. As a rate-payer I didn't want to see the Ricoh fall into the hands of a hedge fund. Wasps quickly built links with the local schools and many children became fans.
WTF??? is he teaching your kids, Wasps are a hedge fund by a different name and have done exactly what the Council didn't want SISU to do................. put the Ricoh up as collateral for loans. Perhaps too many freebies and flags have addled his brain, as a "Cov kid" he should be feckin furious his money has been wasted. Most Wasps fans never even heard of, or knew where, the Ricoh was before they dropped in here. Plastics the lot of the deluded twats.

If you look on their forums, most of them really think we should have gone cap-in-hand to them begging to play in their/our stadium, whilst paying them for the privilege, and propping up the failing business model. They really are some of the cuntiest fuckers that go there, and feel they have the right to look down on CCFC/SISU as dirt. Well, they fucked up in Wycombe, so lets hope and pray it happens again soon.

Sounds really positive.
Public consultation will be fun. Can we get a template letter in support produced that doesn’t sound too ranty?

Live in the area and the local councillors demanded a meeting with the uni as soon as the news broke. Thats what they've reported back. Doubt they're spinning it to make the club look good, one of them is Blundell who was straight on CWR being negative when the initial announcement was made.

What they didn’t add was
“we will also hold them to ransom for this privilege & CCC will back us over their own football team”.

As a form of protest, could we get this on a billboard by the RICOH?
I have no idea what it’ll cost, but I’d contribute to the cause.

Read it again. That statement could be interpreted as meaning CCFC would be at the Ricoh for as long as the Council wished. More weasel words...

But who are 'they' - is it the football club or the council. The statement is ambiguous.

Is that Woodingdean as in Brighton? Used to work in Castle House on the road down towards Falmer.

Yes, you've got the right Woodingdean. I am within 100m of Castle House, near to the house Errol Flynn had built for his parents. It's a small world!

Not directly related to the stadium but is local to the proposed location and will impact infrastructure. The Secretary of State will not be calling in the Kings Hill development. Should increase the likelihood of the proposed Stoneleigh Road improvements as well as the Coventry South station going ahead.

Good info. Gives a general idea. Care to guess which plot of land is the future location?
They are also over weight, Grow stupid fluffy overgrown beards, sleeves pushed up on their jumpers and have little or no confidence. Only attend when they get a free ticket or because Rupert in accounts goes and they want to get in Ruperts inner circle. Very much what it was like at JLR when they were sponsoring them. Fucking embarrassing.
Don’t get me started on the MALE average wasps supporter either!
