Plans for new homes close to where any ground is likely to be approved by CCC despite Blundells objections.

New ‘aspirational homes’ in Coventry approved

The development is in Wainbody close to the University of Warwick

Does there come a point where the locals grow tired of objecting to everything? Not had much luck with HS2, the A46 relief road, Kings Hill development or this development. Would make you think you're wasting your time wouldn't it?

Property developer objects to property development. "Yeah, but this one's near my house".

Judicial review?

They had some coffee and a few laughs. Great update.

Very vague but it will still rouse a few wasp bots in to posting so at least it will provide some mild amusement.

 

[Liquid Gold]

So are you getting a seat behind the goal or along the side?

Where will the privately owned padded ones be?
I'm going to request one with Paul Fletchers face embroidered in it

 

[shmmeee]

Something something agricultural land something something Ricoh pitch.

Make your own joke up, I’m tired.

 

[fernandopartridge]

It's shite, even the least cynical person in the world would scoff at that pointless release.

SBT: why hasn't there been any update on the stadium project since it was announced
CCFC: issue stadium update
SBT: why have they bothered issuing an update

You want to sit on Paul Fletcher's face?

 

[cc84cov]

No surprise...Totally pointless

 

[clint van damme]

You want to sit on Paul Fletcher's face?

Now you put it like that.......

 

[SBT]

The first club announcement was worth six exclamation marks, how much is this one worth?

 

[shmmeee]

You want to sit on Paul Fletcher's face?

Dont let fatso know...

 

[chiefdave]

As long as the statue of Joy isn't blocking my view of the pitch I'll be happy with my seat.

 

[Frostie]

Yes there's not much tangible there but, as before really, at least something is happening.

Whilst we have every reason to be sceptical of SISU, it's a joint statement & there's no reason for the Uni to be associating themselves with it if it's purely bluster.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I say first game we all meet up for a drink in 'Ken's Orange Bar' next to the Joy statue before going into the Fisher bowl.

There is no new information. It can hardly be dubbed an update.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

They're updating us that they've had a meeting.

Not just any old meeting though.

A formal meeting.

This idea that something must be happening purely because Warwick Uni has tied itself to the mast of our endless stadium project, and would somehow completely destroy its reputation if nothing happens is one of the weirdest parts of this whole affair.

Their just another string to SISU’s bow

 

[Nick]

Interesting this is said after some fois about wasps and the council...

 

[lordy_87]

Will it have corners and a big fan zone???

 

[Deleted member 2477]

Was the meeting titled “the Master Plan” and not available for the public to scrutinise ?

There has to be more to it than the content of the 'update'.

 

[Liquid Gold]

And blackjack and hookers

 

[edgy]

Update timed after Wasps Bondholders have agree to let them off the hook.

Of course their reputation won't be destroyed but if it's complete bullshit what's in it for them to go along with it? It's a joint statement after all.

I'm not really sure what people were expecting?

If they'd said nothing at all until early next year (when we can expect something meaningful) then there would have been plenty calling them out for it. This just confirms it is at least ongoing.

 

[hill83]

Nipping down the Varsity now. Starting early.

 

[shmmeee]

Get that old Highfield Road spirit back

How would they know it’s complete bullshit? It’s a meeting.

Being fair, you can’t hide all your stadium discussions behind NDAs and “commercial confidentiality” and then complain people are asking for more info.

I maintain they shot their load too early on this to try and counter the breakdown in talks. Clearly it’s not particularly far along nor moving at any pace.

There is zero downside to them putting their names to the statement, and they're not even the first major organization to be associated with one of our many imaginary stadium projects.

In terms of what I was expecting - I think meetings between CCFC and Warwick Uni was the absolute bare minimum I was expecting, so I'm not sure why I should be doing cartwheels that they've been holding them (but can't share any more details until next year)

Works for CCC & Wasps!

Agreed.
