In my childhood I won the World cup, FA cup etc there

Even Bigi was coaching some refugees I think.Ah yeah thats the one. School on one side and then the shops on the other?
Is a fair bit of land there but not sure the houses would be too happy.
In the summer there as usually hundreds of blokes making their own matches on the grass, they have kits and everything.

Bloody hell that is some expansion. Earlier today it was only 4.72 acres.Here's the TRU site: 43.6 acres and freehold owned by TRU so maybe a good shout.

I worked there years ago. Wasps can have it for their kicking barn, the high racks will work as rugby postsToys R Us one just put a bit of fake grass down and theres an indoor academy

Stage 1: All registered land, over 15 acres, within 9 miles of the Council House:
Bad news for those that want a city centre stadium.
Do we think 15 acres is too large?
Is that the Marconi / Copsewood site there just about Willenhall, guessing the pink roads are Binley Rd and Allard Way. There would be good.
The Toys R Us warehouse site would be perfect.
Get a Nandos in there as well and we'd have our pick of the British players.If I was chairman I'd be in touch with Wetherspoon to build the first multi use pub/stadium complex.
I've said before the site over the road from that, so south from the business park would be decent. Farmland at the moment I think. TRU would be even better.The Toys R Us warehouse site would be perfect.
You can see my house.Cheers for that.
Now can you zoom in a bit and see if you can see me and my dog.
I hesitate to blow smoke but... could be the best thing to actually happen, show him the choices, force a decision... whatever it is!Right. My day job is partly searching for land for companies to buy and develop. Let’s get this sorted. What are the specs we need for a stadium? What sort of acreage? What sort of location? What sort of existing uses?
I’m going to pull off a list of potential sites with the addresses of the owners and send it to Fisher.
Not great for city centre, no. But at least reassuring that there are sites, and we don't *have* to be welded to the Ricoh.Stage 1: All registered land, over 15 acres, within 9 miles of the Council House:

The likelihood of resident objections.Busy today so no updates. Did update my title plots today though which’ll help.
Really not sure how to proceed once I’ve done location and size. Probably remove flood plain stuff, look for stuff near a main road I guess.
What else do you need other than a given size?

That's quite close to our old stadium isn't it? Gosford Green area.View attachment 9188
How about this site... just shy of 6 acres, But I reckon it would be suitable for roughly a 20k stadium. Fairly near town, Downside is there would need to be a few compulsory purchases made.
I wouldn't even say lack of a main road is an obstacle...Busy today so no updates. Did update my title plots today though which’ll help.

tbf it's probably a little more difficult than that but... I do get your point.Also: it costs about 40p to write to someone in bulk. £3 to find the owner of a private site. Likely roughly half of them are private, so for a total outgoing of about £2600 (plus time) you could write a letter to the owners of each site asking if they would sell for a stadium.
What I’m saying is: for less than a month of Stuart Beavon we could find a new ground.
I’m also saying: I’ve clocked this with a total effort of about three hours. What has Tim been doing for four years?
