New Stadium Announcement!!!!!! (19 Viewers)

No-one cares if you have a different opinion, it's more the subject matter of new user's posts. I also find it a bit odd that someone would join this forum and then launch straight into whether we're going to build a new ground or not. I'd say it's pretty low down on the vast majority of fan's concerns at the mo.
Anywho, we'll see. I look forward to your insightful comments on Max's xG/ref's performance etc...
I still love max!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheer up for God's sake and enjoy the result, unless you have an agenda!
Don't need freedom of speech to say there will never be a new stadium it's just common sense.

This gets trotted out every now and again, why ? I spoke to a Uni senior management guy months ago who when I asked about the new ground possibility he his answer was “do pigs fly”
Don’t think my comments were very excited. Someone said something like you are not a real fan if your not excited by this
The “forum statement” is even better
Forum Statement on New Stadium Announcement
"As supporters of Coventry City we are delighted by the joint statement from CCFC and Warwick University. It is all the more pleasing given the assurances we received earlier this year from Dave Boddy & Joy Seppala on the priority that CCFC and Sisu were placing on having a stadium of our own...

Im not sure if “better” is how I’d describe it.
Still we know when some bad news is coming we will see Boddy with hard hat and shovel in a field, if that doesn’t convince the public Robins will turn up as well

"we will see Boddy with hard hat and shovel in a field, if that doesn’t convince the public Robins will turn up as well" ........once seen by the Warwick University security staff they'll chased off the field for trespassing on their land.

I never knew Northampton had been linked with a new stadium at the University so why the denial

I know a lecturer at Warwick uni and he said he has been told it's just a bluff and a powerplay

It probably is, but a lecturer wouldn't know one way or another.
Is it fair to say you’re no longer “delighted” with the stadium plans then? And if not, have you relayed this to Boddy and co on behalf of the entire forum?
Incredible that you were falling over yourself to give this announcement good publicity at the time, only to now admit it was probably all a bluff?

He said 3-1 but didn't mention to which team.

Is that true? On more than one occasion you’ve resisted, if not completely ignored, my requests to put more pressure on the club about stadium progress.
I’m sure Boddy was delighted at the free good publicity that you and @mark82 gave him though, in the name of all the members of this board. Ever thought of issuing a new statement, or are you happy with things as they are?
Lol - your “skepticism” amounted to reassuring everyone that we could all be hopeful because good old Warwick University were on board, and then sending a nonsensical press release to the papers to tell the press how happy all of us fans were.
Now you admit it was probably all a bluff - if you’re going to be duped by the club that easily, I’d at least ask that you don’t draft any more press releases claiming to represent me and hundreds of other CCFC fans.
