Trust: 6 Local Authorities say no discussions. Rugby say no. (51 Viewers)

[blend]

Interesting, sounds like they're saying the info from the Trust is accurate and that the story is CT's own work (rather than say a Sisu press release).

Or we nicked this one off the SBT but we'll pretend it's our scoop!!

I don't understand why the potential locations are a secret anyway ????
Are there other stadium developers also looking for land in the Coventry area that they are in competition with ????

There secret for the same reasons as to why Father Christmas doesn't give out the exact coordinates for his elf workshop.

The Business Plan
Discussions with ACL
Discussions with CCC
Location of legoland
The Accounts
What goes on in TF's head


Its all one big secret, and has been since day 1

 

[sky blue john]

I am expecting the location to be somewhere they purposely can't get planning permission. Then we will get the normal the worlds against them routine.
Just more time delaying tactics because the Jr will go on for years.

18 mins to go !

There is a 60 acre site at griff sold subject to contract. No access from Gypsy lane yet though. Right near the small quarry that robbo is on about. I used to swim in the slatey if this is where people are on about.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Let's play a game of Hangman based on what I have heard this is the name of the place CCFC will build their new stadium..

That's the exact spot someone mentioned on here a few months ago. I've still got the bookmark to the google map location saved on my computer.

No real news then as expected.

 

[henry the wasp]

Sorry robbo. I didn't realise you were on about the slatey. I thought you were on about the quarry on Gypsy lane which is really quite large.

Not sure of the Telegraphs logic here:

The way appears to have been cleared for new development plans on the 71-acre site, owned by the Ronald Wilson Trust, after the Secretary of State recently rejected proposals to build 200 houses and a community centre on the swathe of land following a public inquiry

If planning permission couldn't be gained for a mere 200 houses, what chance has a football stadium got?

 

[chiefdave]

That's just a report on the SBT press release isn't it? Not clear if the quote from N&B council is a response to the FOI request or just a random quote from someone they've spoken to before running the story, if it's the latter it's meaningless.

 

[ccfcway]

those houses will be delighted at this news !

That didn't make sense to me either but I just assumed I was missing something but on the face of it if you can't get permission for a community centre there's no chance of getting it for a football stadium.

Wonder if someone from the trust could contact NT and get their thoughts on this.

 

[covspain]

And why is that "worrying?" It is after all the agenda for the meeting so whu go and ytalk about anything else?. I have a particular point to make about how the club has allowed season ticket numbers to decline (even before this season) and how the club needs to have a massive push on this and a dose of humility to welcome back the lost generation- not just this seasons missing but those who have deserted over the last 5 years - this applies whether we are building a new ground or back at the Ricoh. There is no long term viability of club until this is recognised and acted upon.

Of course, I could always take your advice and wrap myself in a piss soaked bedsheet and shout SISU Out from the back of the room. In my experience, my option will have more impact, but thanks for the advice.

You mention bedwetting a lot do you have a problem with it?

 

[bigfatronssba]

Also where is the access?

Unless you knock down half of Blackhorse Road then access is limited to a few small estate roads.

 

[Nick]

So it is just the cet having a guess?

that was my thought. the government are coming under pressure to build homes as there is a housing shortage, i'm yet to hear anyone putting the government under pressure to build more sporting venue's. especially as there is an empty one with the right colour seating the other side of the motorway.

i'll believe it when it's confirmed they've purchased the site, until then we are back to square 1. mushrooms, all of us. even andrea b and rfc despite what they like to think.

Which is presumably why the planning permission for a housing estate was thrown out?

 

[hill83]

Possibly, I mean, I'm not sure, but this is the headline.

Is this Coventry City's new home?


So there is a good chance they are guessing. But I'm only guessing myself now.

 

[ecky]

I know the area as a kid, its full of old mine shafts ex mining area, access is via blackhorse road only by bayton rd, real traffic hotspot..

 

[The Gentleman]

I suppose if they planned to also build a community centre with it as such was tooted that might help there cause.

I suppose that a community centre isn't going to do them much good then ? Seeing as it was proposed with the houses that got turned down. You would need one more for houses than a stadium

Local residents in Weddington have been fighting a bitter battle against Nuneaton and Bedworth council over plans to build hundreds of new homes on the greenbelt up there.

It would be a brave council to waste land on a football stadium whilst having to build houses all over the countryside.

 

[chiefdave]

You're more trusting than me! I won't believe it until it's built and we're playing there. To be honest I thought they would have purchased a piece of land by now. That's relatively easy to do and is unlikely to go down significantly in value. Thought it would be an easy way for them to try and prove they are actually going to build it.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Obviously the Coventry Telegaph's article is a guess, but the evidence is compelling when you look at it, N&B Council won't confirm or deny it when other Councils could and the land would be suitable however you would be asking about access and traffic regarding that site.

 

[skybluetony176]

i guess that's the next line of enquiry for the trust, find out why the planning for houses was overturned by the secretary of state after it had been approved by the local council.

the CET need les back, i'm sure with his connections as political editor he would have found out why before speculating on what the site is going to be next. it might be something as simple as the land is protected by law from development and must remain green belt. still don't search out facts if it gets in the way of a good ointlaugh: story

 

[chiefdave]

Where is the city boundary? Wouldn't that site be so close to the city that CCC would be involved due to traffic flow, potential infrastructure changes etc?

Won't confirm or deny or just not replied yet?

 

[RoboCCFC90]

We shall see, it's still very doubtful in about 97% of fans mind's that a new stadium will be built, not to mention this location, until land is purchased and the first brick is laid I will be very skeptical.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

As they said on the article sometimes they can have discussions with certain parties that are kept confidential, I think they will come back to the Sky Blue Trust and confirm that they have spoken to the Club's owners.

 

[SkyBlueHomer]

Think the boundary is the M6.

Access in its current state would be a nightmare & with the housing developments/bayton rd industrial estate not much room for change.

I could have confidential discussions with the Council about purchasing land, doesn't mean jack if I don't actually buy it.
