Coventry Council WILL support a new stadium... (7 Viewers)

thats exactly what this is a preemptive strike by the council (who know wasps need ccfc at the ricoh to make its business plan work) so lets make it difficult for ccfc to move outside or announce they want to move out side of the city by stating that planning permission will not be an issue when of course we all know that it will be virtually impossible to get approval to build another stadium so close to the existing one. i know lots of people don't think this is going to happen but it does seem that a land purchase will happen shortly regardless of whether they actually build anything on it or not!

The club should be pressing Wasps as hard as they can for the deal Wasps claim is there to be done. If it can't be reached then there is no (successful) future paying rent to play in a rugby team's ground and they must take a new ground seriously and direct their efforts towards it. Question is, are the club doing the former and if not, why not?

Exactly, find out what they can offer. If it is shit then make sure Simon Gilbert gets a letter in the post with the details If it is good and WILL be best for the club then talk some more.

If the club struck a deal whereby it received all the money it generated and paid a nominal rent, I could tolerate the embarrassment of playing in a Wasps-branded ground as at least there would be an economic benefit for the club. I don't expect us to get this access for nothing but I hope 'Woody' can do a deal.

.... and lets hear about it if Wasps don't play ball so we can get behind the business plan for a new stadium.

I'm going to be a harsh c**t here and say if you honestly believe that we are going to build a new ground, go and fucking see a mental health nurse seriously, and stop letting fisher and co take you for a fucking twat.

Enough is enough of these wankers taking every single fan for a fucking mug feeding us continuing bullshit, its about time we grew a backbone and played with fire, give them an ultimatum, show us your plans and how far you have got with them, or its time for mass walk outs to force these cunts out of our club.

The club is dead don't you all see that with these in charge? its dying of cancer and everyone is just arguing between themselves.

Little more than a PR piece from Matton, all he's done is state the law which has been mentioned many times on here. That's a lot different from saying CCC will support any new stadium project and do anything they can to help and to keep the club in the city.

Which part of the site was Dunlop? I'm assuming not all of it, that would be approx 100 acres.

There is the dunlop sports ground there at the minute, some new houses already being built but not too sure how far back it goes etc. Would need to do a google maps to find it!
