We are talking about Baginton, Arizona!!
Have they moved Baginton since I lived in Cov? The way some people are going on you'd think it was 100 miles away.
There's not that much parking at the Ricoh and getting there on public transport can be a mission. I'm not convinced that the majority of the crowd are walking there either.
Its nonsense to talk about the transport links or lack of public transport as it is now. The key will be, for any new ground in the city or not, the club putting the right things in place to make it easy for fans to get there.
Of course we all want a new ground, or at least a permanent ground, the doubt is entirely in Sisu's ability to deliver.
Baginton would be a disaster, Ricoh is far more accessible.
Plus who actually will own it, what rent will be charged, what additional facilities will be included and what revenues will Sisu allow us too have?

2000 spaces at the Ricoh and 1600 in the shopping area. Just a FYI, I'm not getting involved.
The Ricoh isn't even our stadium so long-term it isn't an option.
Can I ask you who you think will own a stadium built by Sisu ?
No doubt Wasps will give us A LOT more and all we need to do is ask. I guess your little side business will suffer as well.

We can't ask Wasps for more and take them to court surely ?
So what would happen should 10000, more than we attract at the moment, want to go and see a rugger match ? cancel it ? It seems it would be okay to trek from Willenhall/Finham/Cheylesmore to Baginton so a short brisk walk from the various car parks around the City centre should be no problem.The site is far too constrained for space. There is no parking and no ability to create parking.

Money talks.You are talking about the Butts as if we already own it, we don't and I very much doubt Cov Rugby (if they own it themselves, im not sure) would want to sell it to us, there is no incentive for them.
Parking at the Butts would be a nightmare. Earlsdon and Spon End is rammed
Why are football fans different to rugby fans then ? How do they get to the Butts, flying carpets !!Parking at the Butts would be a nightmare. Earlsdon and Spon End is rammed and they wouldn't want football fans milling around the town centre if they were to park there
Wasps will give us ALOT more what? sorry I am lost, do you mean give us alot more rent to pay when the negotiations take place, as if your talking alot more revenue access, then you clearly are mistaken.
Money talks.
He is being sarcastic by using my words.
IMHO Sisu should stop fighting CCC/Wasps via the JR and then ask them for what we require at the Ricoh.
We should as fans know what they have asked for and be aware what Wasps have rejected.
People are assuming Wasps will say no or have already said no.
We will never feel at home at the Ricoh until we are allowed to integrate into it and personalise it as we want.
IMHO we are staying at the Ricoh and we need to make it a win win for Wasps and ourselves.
Just spent a shed load i would think getting Mowbray hereYour right it does, trouble is SISU dont have any. Well not that they want to spend on us anyway

They apparently have £25/£30 million for a new groundYour right it does, trouble is SISU dont have any. Well not that they want to spend on us anyway

All we need to do is ask and they will give us what we want. We should even offer to rebrand ourselves as The Sky blue Wasps and play in sky blue & black and yellow stripes.
There is no reason to suggest that they will increase the rent after this year. They have plenty of money and don't even care about money. They don't need us there but they genuinely care about us so will make us feel at home. All we need to do is ask.
Nurse Nurse this one has escaped!
NOPM until we are Sky Blue Wasps.
So what would happen should 10000, more than we attract at the moment, want to go and see a rugger match ? cancel it ?
Why should we even be bothered about Wasps and their stadium? It goes without saying that it suits your pocket I suppose; so it makes sense that you are so desperate for ccfc to stay there.
As a true Coventry team we should be looking to have as little to do with that franchise as possible.
:sarcasm:
We have no choice at the moment but the Ricoh.
