Not just football clubs...

Can’t see any Council owned organisation having anything to do with CCFC at the moment, plus given how hard the gym and leisure industry have been affected by COVID, they would have very little money to spend on sponsorship. I’d quite like to see The Coventry (Building Society) adorn the shirts...

May I hang out with you both? Whenever I see a ground with separate stands, I can’t help but wonder how many extra fans they might get in were the corners to be filled in

I do take your points on board, however I do sometimes worry if the vision might be slightly sky blue tinted...I know I am guilty of it myself. Do we overestimate the commercial value of a stadium when it comes to our own team playing in it. I cannot think of too many teams in the championship...

On the face of it, possibly. However, if you add in the conferences, summer concerts, hotel, parking for a facility that is already built, compared to a prospective stadium and the years of inconvenience ahead...the difference might not be so significant

I prepare to be mocked for asking this, but might it be possible to ask why this £30m cannot be made as an offer (to a financially desperate entity) to acquire 50% of the RICOH arena and associated revenues arising from it? Just as a caveat, I do hope that we get our own stadium, but for the...

Odds on the Council offering the Woodlands site to Wasps for their training academy...?

Time to step up, Gervane Kasteneer...

25,000 Sky Blues fans at St Andrews perhaps? I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, but I also think that it would be great were we to pack out Butts Park Arena for some CRFC games when crowds can go back to seeing live sport. Might look really good to see a packed stadium for the city’s true...

Agree that we should be sensible. I was very much disgusted by a comment on twitter from somebody stating that he hopes the whole Wasps squad perished in a plane crash. We should not stoop to those levels.

This comment from Boddy now might result in relations between CCFC and the stripy b***ards being irreparably damaged. I would think we will now be at St Andrews for 21/22 season too (I cannot see Wasps going pop within the next 12 months that’s for sure). To those saying they will go to away...

Could this end up like a Benfica type friendly score line?

Good lord, if that is what people’s hard-earned money was put towards, I’m rather glad I didn’t contribute. That crown looks ridiculous

One thing I do hope they will think of doing is create some kind of bank and/or wooded boundary to soften crowd noise between the stadium and the posh houses. Don’t want to make any more enemies

I think the first one is more the right location, the press release talked of agricultural land, whereas the second picture is already used for cricket purposes I believe.

I’d donate to that

If it does go ahead (I’m still rather sceptical to be honest), to me the most encouraging part of the press release was stating that “The Club” will own operate and be responsible for all operations, whilst also receiving all revenue.

Not got much to add, only that when I first saw the thread title I thought it said ‘Lewis Taxis’...and some were trying to resurrect the taxi for Robins thread

I have no idea where the area is...my guesses would be either Ansty, or area around the airport. Sadly the report just said that the decision came down to a choice between Coventry and St Athan. Ive said before, that in my opinion if there were to be a new stadium (very unlikely) then the area...

With the news that the UK Gigafactory will be built in Wales, and after having put all their eggs in one basket (yet again) the Council might know of a large area of land (the St Athan factory will apparently measure 1km by 500m) that has suddenly become available.
