Reads to me as though CCFC & Warwick Uni are suggesting they have held further talks and now as a result of said talks, CCFC are no-longer interested in the CBS.

Good work. You’d think a journalist might ask for that to be explained. I will at the next supporters forum

It’s just the lies mate. It doesn’t matter in the long run but I don’t appreciate being taken for a prick TBH.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

We don't need a new stadium. We have one .

We don't need a new stadium. We have one .

We play in one. We don't have one.

It’s interesting you see it as a lie. I don’t think it’s as black and white myself but I may be being too fair

It will be fobbed off with a Brexit line.

 

[SheafIsGod]

Sooner we get out of the Ricoh the better. Wank stadium

 

[Grendel]

We play in one. We don't have one.

We don't need to own one. A long lease would be sufficient

 

[edgy]

We don't need to own one. A long lease would be sufficient

Cant disagree with that.

But can you see a long lease materialising?

 

[MalcSB]

We don't need to own one. A long lease would be sufficient

A long lease with an association football pitch may be. Not what we have now.

Many clubs share with other sports.

So moving out of Coventry was all for nothing.

In what way ? Terrible atmosphere ? That's what everyone said in league 1 and 2 but not in this league and certainly not in the Prem.
Street parking ? Not the fault of the stadium.

It’s a lie. While it’s ongoing it’s “we can’t stop it” then when it ends it’s “Aren’t we great for stopping it”. Both can’t be true.

They’ve been taking the piss for years and playing off people frustration, love of the club, and mistrust of politicians to give everyone the run around. Hopefully they’re bored now and will actually try and run the club.

The idea a major cultural institution could exist as an island away from the other institutions of the area was always arrogant fanciful nonsense. I hope Joy has learned a lesson in hubris and the differences between running a hedge fund and stewarding a football club with great history.

Nothing but contempt for them. But you know this.

 

[shmmeee]

So moving out of Coventry was all for nothing.

It was a silly gambit by someone who didn’t understand what they were doing and who was badly advised by a bunch of cranks with an axe to grind. The best we can hope if that Joy is bright enough to learn her lesson and won’t try such ludicrous tactics again without speaking to someone with an IQ slightly higher than a fridge first.

 

[Blake]

I wonder if there were any agreements made by the council with respect to approvals with the new stadium in exchange for the withdrawal.

You're going to be disappointed

 

[David O'Day]

Isn't the land the are looking at the land earmarked at the Warwick Campus isn't it in an WDC not CCC controlled area?

I also think when they said couldn’t they meant wouldn’t and I’m going to push this and not accept a misunderstanding. I agree if they could have then that should have been clear

Your view. Not to be shared with everyone.

The first attempt at Northampton was a reasonable strategy and on the balance of probability could have worked

 

[Samo]

Sooner we get out of the Ricoh the better. Wank stadium

That's a spectator sport now? Ooh is there a ladies team?

 

[Flying Fokker]

We don't need to own it.

I think we do. But not in any time soon. Warwick university will be a poor venue. Logistics will be hell unless the new HS2 infrastructure serves up some solutions regarding motor traffic.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Isn't the land the are looking at the land earmarked at the Warwick Campus isn't it in an WDC not CCC controlled area?

Aren’t all the transport links involving the council?

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Aren't Wasps bonds due soon, is there a coincidence in the timing, could the club buy into the stadium?

 

[Flying Fokker]

I wonder if there were any agreements made by the council with respect to approvals with the new stadium in exchange for the withdrawal.

Hope not. The city doesn’t need another stadium.

 

[SkyblueDad]

New stadium ? As feasible and practical as the bullshit EU court case.

 

[Flying Fokker]

Aren't Wasps bonds due soon, is there a coincidence in the timing, could the club buy into the stadium?

My thoughts as well. i guess SISU have been picking up bonds at rock bottom prices and then filling their coffers as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if City remain there and Wasps bugger off to Warwick Uni In a swap. But back to the CBS. Fit for CCFC is better than that of Wasps. SISU ….. a failure.

nonsense

 

[procdoc]

We won’t be building a new stadium. It’s as realistic as Santa, the tooth fairy and Sunderland ever being a good side again.
