Spending £30m to have lower attendances seems like a fine idea.
People are kind of missing the point. All SISU would have to do is move just outside the city boundary and they would not have to put plans before the city council. 200 yards north of the ricoh you are in a different local authority, you could build one at Warwick Uni and still be in the Coventry urban area but technically outside the city. You could build an access road from the A46 to Brandon Stadium and CCC could do feck all about it.
In that sense it is feasible, and there is no issue with raising the money I suspect. It isn't quite as pie in the sky as it seems. It almost certainly won't happen I know, but it could happen if SISU decided they wanted it to, the only issue would be nimby opposition, so the whole project could take years. For that reason it is probably silly talk, because no way the club could survive playing at Hinckley or Rushden for that length of time.
SISU have no intention of spending that kind of money on a football club FFS, they refuse to pay anything more than the basic £10K MATCH FEE. When are people going to wise up to the fact that they are purely bullies who are out of their depth in running a football club. They are a disaster in every sense at this game. All this bullshit is to deflect attention from any part they have played in MR's departure.
Have they, how are you privy to that information? They have supported Robins with some loan players and free transfers, he actually got something out of them, how much is any ones guess ?!
I agree Taylor, Robins brought some good signings in and got them playing as a team, how much they cost though in fees or wages is any ones guess though. Don't forget we got McGoldrick for next to nothing as well.

We've already done the math on this one. It would cost more in interest payments on the loan than they're prepared to pay in rent. Ludicrous.
Air-Horn Joe is already up in arms about HS2. Wait 'til he hears he's got SISU's South Stand in his fish pond!
If they build a new one can they make note of the following points:
1) Have the stands closer to the pitch for a better atmosphere
2) Have a lower roof for better atmosphere
3) Lower the capacity for better atmosphere
4) Make the away stand in one of the corners rather than behind the goal
5) Make it with the same style of seats and leg room at Stadium:MK
6) Have a viewing balcony from the kiosk similar to Stadium:MK
7) Would we be able to pick up and relocate the JH statue?
8) Build it near to a train station
Just some ideas.
Key facts
Club: Southampton FC | Opening: 2001 | Capacity: 32,689 seats
History and description
Southampton moved to St Mary’s Stadium in 2001, having played at The Dell for the previous 103 years. The stadium had been constructed between December 1999 and July 2001 at a total cost of £32 million.
St Mary’s Stadium officially opened on the 1st of August 2001 with a friendly between Southampton and Spanish side Espanyol (3-4).
Until 2006, the stadium was called The Friends Provided St Mary’s Stadium as part of a sponsorship deal.
Construction started in December 1999 and was completed at the end of July 2001, with work on the stadium itself and improvements to local infrastructure cost a total of £32 million.
I think you could get away with a smaller ground.So two years to build and you have to now allow for inflation too. 32m would now surely be around 40m.
