Oh dear, what a response. Let me ask you a question, what's your expertise in these matters? Waiting...

I'm not an architect, so I can only give answers from a layperson's perspective. Football stadiums almost always have voids under the stands, one would imagine the idea is to fill some or all of those voids with the things that have been described. Also, if refer back to my post #83 on the...

Hi Clint, yes I've been to the site. I have been to The Butts many times over a very long time period as I grew up not so very far away from it. I first went there as a 9 year old to use the running track (that was when Godiva Harriers were based at The Butts). I've ridden bikes around...

First, I'm not a he I am a she... and I'm from planet earth. Second, I believe only a fraction of those who currently travel to the Ricoh by car would want to do the same if we played at Butts Park Arena. How many people used to go to Highfield Road by car? Third, there was a previous thread...

Of course the council can't block planning applications due to other disputes, but I think you'll find where there is a will there is a way. A local authority wanting to be difficult can contrive all sorts of objections.

Specifically on the question of car parking, I think it needs to be remembered that the Butts Park Arena is quite different to the Ricoh Arena. Given the proximity of the Butts Park Arena to the city centre and railway station, I believe a lot more people will arrive at the stadium on foot...

You mean it's a cynical attempt to increase unrest amongst the club's supporters? Oh... and on the off chance that the FL does throw out a tit-bit of information, that will be useful to Wasps in any negotiations for future use of the Ricoh.

She was certainly a councillor at Coventry City Council when it voted to sell ACL. As for the questions listed in the opening post, I think it's ironic that someone who was previously a representative of a council who repeatedly hid behind claims of commercial confidentiality is asking this...

...and I've already shown how the supposed restriction in the lease is being flouted. If you don't understand the difference between women's football and rugby, or American football and rugby, or a beer festival and rugby, or a wedding and rugby just say and I'll try my best to explain them to...

That discussions were going on between CRFC and CCFC at all was something that was commercially sensitive.

No...

I think Judge Rinder's a man :jawdrop: The isn't any restriction that specifically mentions football mentioned in the CT article, that's why I asked you where it had been published. If you don't know, just say. :cat:

Oh dear, you do make assumptions don't you.

You seem so knowledgeable... Tell me, where's the restriction that specifically mentions football been published?

Womens football and American football have both been played at The Butts in the recent past. The Sky Blues ticket office is based at The Butts. There have been various beer festivals, weddings and other social events at The Butts. According to your Simon Gilbert article, all of these...

I suggest you read the linked article: http://coventryobserver.co.uk/news/exclusive-leaked-email-reveals-council-bid-block-coventry-city-f-c-butts-groundshare/

I can't agree with you. As a local authority has a monopoly in a particular locale it would be entirely unreasonable to refuse to deal with a particular organisation simply because that organisation has taken legal action against the local authority. When the boot's on the other foot, local...

I suggest we don't really know much of what has actually gone on at this stage, so we don't know what the club has spoken to the council about. One thing we do know a little of is the goings on at The Butts and this suggests the council hasn't been acting terribly professionally. It seems the...

Maladministration with injustice

The expression 'preferred buyer' is not relevant to what I am explaining to you. When the council used that expression in relation to a business going into administration it was using it in a technical way, not an emotional one The local authority isn't supposed to use emotional measures to...
