foreplay
Can't help but think the Ricoh is still the end goal in all of this, but this definitely gives the club a strong hand to play.
Interested to see the next stage of the plans
Why? This makes so much more sense and most importantly they don't have to deal with cov council and have access to all the revenues without having to have dirty insect stuff all over the place
It'll be fucking hilarious if the wasps project fails and the council ends up with the white elephant of an empty ricoh
The greatest Freudian slip of all time
Says we’ve got to deal with the WMCA, surely they’ll just put cov council back in their place?They will have to deal with the council even the vaguest of vague statements says that
But the University has been prepared to let it go public.The actual statement really says nothing - land not even identified yet

It definitely says where the stadium will be, just not the specific area within that land.The actual statement really says nothing - land not even identified yet

Anyway, communicating at an early stage is positive, right.
Statement says will have to deal with all surrounding local authorities
I agree but “bowls” allow you to put all the supporting businesses in like the casino, hotel etc etc. I was looking at Brentford’s new design the other day. That looks better but they have housing and all sorts within that.Well it's about time!
Please learn from the Ricoh and design a proper stadium not a soulless bowl of doom. Rectangles not Bowls!
huh?Mark and I hoping to release a statement as members of the board in the next hour.
huh?
I would love it to be somewhat like brentfords ground - Modular, modern, yet actually looks good
Like they do at Brighton. Bars open for hours before and after the game to let people leave in a more relaxed way. And the club make more dollars!This is obviously welcome news, particularly that the university is involved, but I don’t think it’s much to get excited about yet. There is so much to get done and I won’t get the buzz until there are spades in the ground. I do love the idea of CCC shitting themselves at the cost of a white elephant ricoh though.
Undoubtably a step forward though. A great idea to include retail and student housing in the project where it will be needed to bring the costs down. Just need to get some proper fan zones and stuff in there so there are places to eat and drink before and after games. Get people in early and out late generating ads much cash as possible for the club. If this happens we need to learn the mistakes of the Ricoh not repeat them.
I’d love to know what the timeline is too. As I said no excitement until things get movingAt the moment it’s just a (welcome) partnership. Let’s see what they do over the next 6/12 months.
Also backs up the story that they were looking for a 5 year deal. If things progress on this I’m sure the EFL will approve our stay outside the city and I’m curious as to the timing of the announcement with Ricoh talks ongoing.
It is understood the project’s partners are already examining potential sporting and academic link-ups, such as in sports science, hospitality, and with the Sky Blues in the Community programme.
