]I'm building my imaginary friend a new home. There are 2 possible sites, Fantasyland and Dreamworld, I'm pressing ahead with both. I cant tell you how much it will cost or where it will be but I'm building it, honest. Would anyone like to come and talk about it?
I don't doubt their capacity to build a stadium, particularly a small stadium albeit not adequate enough, but I have a sneaky suspicion they will eventually find a compromise of sorts to buy the Ricoh. Just my thoughts.
They will only need 12.5 thousand capacity because by the time they build this the core support will be next to nothing and the team will be non league.like many I am close to giving up
Now the worst season in the championship

Just picked 2010-11 which was not a great season in the championship.
Our owners really don't get the potential that is at their fingertips
Well this is the strange thing for me. They are clearly full of shit - everyone knows that; but if you're going to lie about building a stadium, why not make it attractive?
Bizarre.
Even their imaginations are shite...
...unless they want us to hate the idea so that we put pressure on the Council...

As was thier intention.
Seems strange how do you have a meeting about a fictional scenario ?
Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention.
Apparently the reason it went from 2 sites to 4 back to 2 again is that people were contacting the club offering them land to buy.

Can't find my spreadsheet now, but I plugged in our league position and our average attendance all the way back to before the war.
We get a boost for any success (cup win, promotion) with 5-7k ish. Then it starts decaying without even moderate success. And drops significantly (5-6k) on relegation. Also, a new stadium boosts roughly 30%.
In other words, 12.5k is only enough if you plan for last season to be better than when it opens. Even a 10k starting base would give 13k in the first season (30% boost for new stadium) and be too big.
What does this say for the ambition of the owners over the next few seasons? If we have any ideas of promotion we'd need 15-20k in the first season up if we're in a new ground. If we don't do so well maybe down to 15k average after a few seasons. That's at the top end of the second "phase" and doesn't allow for big games/away followings, of which there will be more.
If we plan to be a top 10 Championship side then 20-22k average isn't out of the reams of possibility. With Pressley backed properly we could (should) be there in 3 seasons or less. Then we're sat filling a 23k stadium or waiting for "structural changes" meaning what? Another ground share? All the while a 32k stadium sat down the road, actually in the City of Coventry.
I'll give my all to any consultation, especially as (as pointed out today) many of the ideas can be applied at the Ricoh too. But I worry about the capacity issue especially and what it means for how Seppala views the next few years playing out.

I have a theory why It's always the village.
It's going to be built on Hearsall Common I tell thee,they're going to steal the Common land From the Freemen of Coventry .
There are a bout 20 pubs within a mile and a Railway station ,mark my Words.:facepalm:
If they are still thinking about saying it will be the site between Coventry and Bedworth then this is a non starter. While at work last week I got speaking to a client who turned out to work for a local politician and they said that there is no chance that it will be built there.
They wouldn't get a new stadium 'boost' from me and my family, they can stick their 12,500 capacity joke capitulation right up their stupid arses !
That's just spooky. I wonder what the odds of that happening would be?
