Plans for new stadium revealed (3 Viewers)

[RFC]

People moaned there were no plans, moan when there is a start...

Think you've summed it up very well Nick.

Having read all the 'posts' on this thread I feel depressed by the very negative responses, I'm sure negotiations to acquire the preferred site are at an advanced stage ( with a plan B also in place ).

No quick fixes here, regrettably these things take time, the problem today is our 'INSTANT' society!

HELP!

If you cannot confirm the site, how can you produce a design image? Does location impact on design?


We developed master plans for the stadium and associated facilities on three separate sites with careful consideration given to pitch orientation, fan approach and stadium operations. These three key factors require a very similar approach on the two sites which are currently being bid on, so the proposed stadium design concept will be fundamentally the same for both sites.

- Phil Osbourne

The crucial word there is MASTERPLAN. A masterplan just has a block for the building. It is not a design - it is a geographical exercise.

Controversially - I like the design! I think it's a lot better than the Ricoh - let the hate messages begin!

Sisu said they'll give it until Christmas and then begin plans - looks like that's one of the few things they haven't bullshitted about because here they are. I'll be more convinced when they release where it's going to be, but once they have I'll be ready to give them some credit. Despite all the spin, lies and nonsense, I do believe we as a club need to own our stadium to be sustainable - and this looks like a great asset for Sky Blues IF it ever happens.

I hate to admit it but I do sort of like the design, yes "it will never happen", or "it's just be fantasy", or "if Sisu ever build it, it will look like a shed" but even so it' alright and I have to say better looking than the Ricoh.

But that is not the one we are getting !! The one shown is the fully expanded one. Inside it looks similar to the Ricoh and I guess its closer to 30,000 than 20,000.

You honestly think that if it were built it would end up looking like that?

This is CCFC. Everything is always watered down, i.e. retractable roof, sliding pitch etc. etc.

 

[davebart]

I wonder if anyone has been paid for any work they have done on stadium investigations. CBRE will do quite a lot on the promise of big sums later on. SISU no need to 'invest' anything at all at this stage but promises.

Not even sure the roof design is feasible without putting the standard overroof support structures in place.

 

[Monners]

It's just a sketch. You see plenty of this kind of thing in masterplans for development sites, parks strategies etc.. All part of Sisu's own masterplan to stress other into either selling up or giving up - this is what they do.

 

[CovFan]

I hope all the companies involved in building the Jellyfish Arena get payment up front.

Is a few sketches - it is not a plan.

RFC, with the greatest respect, SISU do not care about you, me, Nick, Grendel, Otis, any of us. They are purely an avenue for the very rich to get even richer. Now they have made such huge mistakes they will stoop even lower to recover what they can. You have zero idea of the reality of who & what we are dealing with here.

 

[shmmeee]

I've got to say, it is a nice picture.

I just want to know details: What will it look like when it's first built? What other facilities does it have? What does the inside/concourse look like?

And most importantly: How much will it cost?

It literally is just a picture. At least Arena 2000 had a CG walkthrough.

 

[rightumpty]

I,d rather go to Villa Park than put money into susu's pocket

 

[Spionkop]

In startling new evidence revealed today, it has been confirmed that Sisu are in fact descendants of a long lost North American indian tribe from a very remote region - they are called 'the shitarewe tribe.' Their main battle cry when faced with the enemy is 'we're the shitarewe tribe.' *

You have a fair point there Otis.

Still I will like it (until/if/when) I can say otherwise (should/if/when) this new stadium is built.

The cost of the new stadium will be in excess of £20m. The actual time line of costs for the whole site simply depends on how we phase the stadium, academy and first team training facilities. - Tim Fisher

My house costs in excess of £5, it's just a hell of an excess.

The key to me personally supporting this plan is what financial state will the club be in afterwards. Surely they have some idea of that, otherwise how can they put together a business plan?

 

[magic82ball]

I must admit it looks quite nice however, as it will never be built, and even if miraculously was would be to small and outside the city, I think I will hold back on the optimism some on here have.

In addition can a stadium of 12,000 pay off that debt ?

 

[GaryPendrysEyes]

What we have has from Sisu so far is literally a few thousand quids worth of talking and a CAD image.
Any real planning would be hundreds of thousands committed.
If anyone thinks that's gonna happen best of luck.
What is probably gonna happen is an extended talking shop with ms. Garlick reporting and talk of talks re locations.

 

[Otis]

Right. This is the house I want. I just need to find the money to build it.




And find some land to build it on.


Everyone excited for me?

Can you imagine how much the season tickets would be?

Congrats Otis, I for one am really pleased.

 

[Mary_Mungo_Midge]

I wouldn't mind that stadium to be honest if they actually built it.

That comment is insane. It's truly lunacy. You see an Etch-a-Sketch picture of what something might look like at a location you have no - and I mean no - knowledge of, and you say you would't mind it?

FFS - that's the attitude that got us out of the Highfield Road and into the Ricoh.

Do you know one of the definitions of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

Just a thought, lets assume for a minute this does get built. They want the money back as fast as possible so need to create a demand.

A genius at SISU designs and builds a stadium which with a bit of success on the pitch will not be big enough and so they have created the demand for tickets.
They can then charge more than the going rate which they could have charged otherwise(at the Ricoh) and with a packed house every week the atmosphere would be better and also own the stadium. Don't forget the lack of atmosphere has been a major issue at the Ricoh in a lot of peoples eyes ever since we moved there.

Like i said just a thought....

I think it has a predominantly down-turned mouth appearance to it.

Was thinking the same thing. Surely the smaller the stadium the more they will charge to try and recoup money?

We do well and we all know we can easily get 20,000+.

Fisher goes on to say...

The financing will be a mix of equity and debt. As a ground share requirement for the Football League we have had to show how the new stadium might be financed and included the accompanying proof of funding.

 

[The Gentleman]

Maybe it's Sisu's attempt at humour.....

 

[shmmeee]

Yep, most probably, but that's the still the case renting at the Ricoh with no access to revenue streams.

Stop posting this crap it's not helpful to debate. The club have turned down several offers of revenue sharing and offers to negotiate for more.

We could be perfectly viable at the Ricoh if our owners wanted it.

Again. My 95% mortgage is "a mixture of equity and debt". It tells us nothing. How much debt? To who? On what terms?

So you're buying into this then ? Else why would you keep posting Fisher's comments like are they actually have meaning and are not just soundbites for some suckers to believe.

 

[skybluetony176]

A artist drawing of a "planned" stadium is just that, an artist drawing. it prooves it's "planned" about as much as Leonardo Da Vinci invented the helecoptor. like Ricky Gervais said "drawing a picture of something and saying that will work, is inventing nothing"

You've got to take the man at his word to be fair. Play a straight bat and he'll hang himself.
