It is. You might be interested in this project, then!

7Bradford PA old pitch I think is now half a cricket pitch and a half keep fit place/gym , someone told me that the old turnstiles and some terracing are still there ,like you id love to visit the old grounds.
Would be cheaper to pay for some land instead of building on somebody else's land and having to build things underground.Maybe we can build an underpass.
Just thought I'd have a look at what Earlsdon residents are saying on FB.
Not overly chuffed at the thought of the City moving in at all seemingly.
There's only half a dozen comments mind. They will now be known as the Earlsdon Six.
As a side note, just in general, the hot topic in Earlsdon is parking (nowt to do with the City or Butts), just in general.
Maybe we can build an underpass.
Many problems could be overcome with lots of financial backing and the will of CCC. You could build a car park over the road to where the Butts Retreat is and/ or have buses bringing people back and forth from carparks elsewhere. They do the bus system at Bayer Leverkusen. You come out of the ground to a row of buses on match days. But Lev has a park behind the stadium so there is a lot of alternative access for pedestrians. The Butts road is a main road into town so would have to be widened to allow for the buses. It seems all very expensive and complicated. We are looking at a site because we haven't found anything else and will have a lot to do to bend it into what we really need. I cannot see this working long term. The project is happening for the wrong reasons - the result of an endless dispute and being under time pressure because the extension is running out. This is not a move - if it ever happens - based on common sense and forward thinking.
Was thinking Queen's Road is incredibly quiet (used to be the main thoroughfare into the city). If they could somehow build a road through there that would pretty much by-pass Butts Road. Where Feast Junction/Carey's Club is. Knock through there.
It's difficult to know what people actually want. If we were talking about another random location say, just outside the city, then I could guarantee that the same people would be still be complaining, but this time: "not being in coventry", "too rural", "no transport", etc.
I know there will be difficulties with the Butts site but I have everything crossed and hopes this works out.
it's pie in the sky mate, I'd love it to happen but I think people are that desperate to get away from the ricoh and wasps that they're clutching at straws.
Maybe I'm wrong an sisu will throw a load of cash at it and try and form fruitful partnerships with CRFC and CCC but I'm not holding out much hope.
I don't think it is. It might not work out, but doesn't mean to say there isn't a desire to make it happen.

The trouble is, is the desire with the right people?
The supporters wanting it to happen doesn't mean shit unfortunately. What me and you want is of no consequence to sisu or CCC,
CRFC seem up for it. I should imagine there is desire from SISU to move from the Ricoh, so who knows? Here's hoping.
There's a desire for me to win the lottery too. Think the odds on both probabilities are closer than you think.
It was fine there, Torch until you said the word Sisu. From that point on the believability factor went pretty much straight out the window.
Well obviously, both scenarios are closely linked. I think I would rather listen to those involved than those like you, who are not.
As I said, might not happen. I for one, hope it does. I think the Club needs it to progress and to get its identity back.
Not sure we will ever get our identity back until the day Sisu leave the building.
Do you really think that Sisu or CRFC have the financial backing to be able to pull this off. If sisu had the will to do this then you would think they would drop the JR and crack on, or is it that as most people think that their hopes of extricating them selves from the club is to win a financial settlement through litigation to enable them to move on? I cant see any one wanting to fund a Sisu led infrastructure project with their track record, its all probably tactics to drive a better deal at the Ricoh. This would be a 2 to 3 year project with massive implications on the surrounding area right in the middle of a major city with one access road. Having the will to do it and being able to is two different things Torch.Well...let's see.

Its a piece of piss, borrow some money, build the ground, then raise a load of bonds and bobs you're uncle job done.Do you really think that Sisu or CRFC have the financial backing to be able to pull this off.

But if its Sisu's uncle, Bob will be in prison.Its a piece of piss, borrow some money, build the ground, then raise a load of bonds and bobs you're uncle job done.

Come on Torch, are you not even at least a little bit sceptical about SISU's "desire" on this? Especially when you consider their history of (how shall I put this?) misinformation towards us fans. Especially on a new stadium.

but why would CRFC want to fork out to expand the ground to 18-20,000 when they don't need anywhere near that capacity.Yes, of course. However, there is also "desire" from CRFC. Even parts of the Council have stated it would be good for everyone involved.

Unless they're looking to stick the football club in as a tenant.

I think the desire from CRFC is that they cant do it alone, that doesn't mean SISU have any real desire to do it with them. Reading what JS has put out there I also didn't see a desire from him to ever build more than 15K and why would there be?
Said it a few times but I love the location, dont buy the parking issues with all the empty spaces in town, close location of train station and endless possibilities for park and ride solutions.
15K is too small, I dont care what anyone says the simple fact is even last season with away allocation and segregation we would have been locking people out and missed out on ticket revenue, it's not fit for purpose now let alone if we have some sustained success unless your purpose is to exclude your paying customers. If it gets built at 15K it will always be 15K IMO unless someone buys CRFC out as CRFC don't really need a 15K stadium thats a compromise for them to get CCFC on board as I see it so why are they going to pay for further expansion that they need even less? That's all major issues before you even start talking about finacing, planning issue's etc.
At the moment I struggle to see how anyone can take this more seriously than previous false dawns.
I'm sure they'll reply with a full and detailed explanation of just what the fuck is going on!Write to them and ask.

Well, of course not. Neither would any other club in the country. Not sure why we think ours should act any differently.
which is why all we can do is go on our local knowledge of the site and the past history of the parties involved.
Which leads me to conclude it's a no go unfortunately.
