The Times is saying this morning that sharing with Coventry Rugby at The Butts is the main option after St Andrews was disqualified because it's too far from Coventry
Indeed.If that’s true re. St Andrews being deemed too far that doesn’t leave much else does it.
It would. Based on the last time it came up however, I'm not expecting it!It would be the least worst option
And people think the Ricoh pitch is bad !!
Talking of pitches, aren't they putting in a new pitch, (perhaps 4G?), that wouldn't be acceptable to the EFL?
That was the plan, yes, but things have changed significantly.Talking of pitches, aren't they putting in a new pitch, (perhaps 4G?), that wouldn't be acceptable to the EFL?
My thoughts when SISU made the give us land and a 3 year rent deal at the Ricoh and we'll drop court action was that the easiest way out for the council would be to say we have no suitable land but we'll support any development at the Butts.
They seem very worried about public opinion in the lead up to local elections, they have a PR open goal here if they support Butts redevelopment and keep CCFC in the city.
They also however despise SISU so it depends how much pride they are happy to swallow.

With what is going on next season (caveat: contracts to sign, etc) there's no way this could happen.
So I call bullshit.
I don't think anyone's suggesting we'd turn up and do what we'd want, those involved would see it as a win/win/win if a fair partnership was agreed upon, the only potential losers in the situation would be Wasps financially and potentially through a rise in CRFC's potential.It's arrogant to think that CCFC can just turn up their and do what they want.

Still think Wasps will make a public offer to us to stay at the Ricoh however which I don't think SISU would be able to turn down publically.

Would they be able to develop income streams that generate more income than say 50% (if its a true partnership) of 30 football matches per year with 10-15,000 fans.But why would CRFC use up valuable land developing a stadium far too big for their needs when they can develop it to open up other income streams?

Yes they don't need a 10-15k stadium, there's only a handful of rugby clubs in the country that do need that, Wasps are playing at a 1/3rd full stadium week in week out currently
A temporary deal if they can get the capacity to 8k would work for me, just don't see the council allowing us to starve Wasps in such a way..
If its the butts next season I will be getting a season ticket for myself and my lad straight away
Coventry to propose ground share with local rugby club with just 4,000 capacity stadium | Daily Mail OnlineThe Times is saying this morning that sharing with Coventry Rugby at The Butts is the main option after St Andrews was disqualified because it's too far from Coventry
This would be excellent! Redevelop it with 3 new stands and the new 4G pitch
Perfect location with it being so close to town! Have to kick the new 'phoenix' club out first though.....
Fuck me if that were to happen i think there would be a riotAm I the only one who thinks that the grand plan is to install Cov.Utd. at the Ricoh...?
just don't see the council allowing us to starve Wasps in such a way..
