Withdraw that bet Matty, you can only lose. Betting something will never happen can only pay out at the end of time or the apocalypse.
Does anyone actually believe that SISU/Otium will ever build a new stadium?
I would even be happy totake a wager with anyone that the idea of a new ground is all Bull Shit.
could this be the next shift for acl fans?
if freehold is sold they will look like losers, i can see them now just saying sisu bought the ricoh cos they were never gonna build a stadium triumphantly
He wouldnt pay, but would want your house for freeTim Fisher.
If you do read these forums, care to take the bet? £100 - no new stadium within next 5 years?
I'm not saying I believe they will but underestimate them at your peril. Most didnt think we'd leave the Ricoh....

lolWhat do you reckon, wince?
"It will be in the Coventry area, we've got a number of sites both in the north and all around the Coventry boundary. They are very, very close.
"Ideally I'd like to get exclusivity on two, simply because it gives you the right to exclusive negotiation to close them and, frankly, you don't go into the final furlong of a horse race (with one), you want to get two lined up.
"Then we'll have the whole development of the scheme, the masterplan and all the commissioning that will be required.
"On Friday, we've got the beauty parade of architects, we've got the highways consultant - we are pushing like crazy."
Fisher, who plans to bring Coventry fans on board for full consultation, added: "The model is Rotherham's New York Stadium, it's a great stadium. It's modular so it grows as the club grows.
"Attendance? Around 18,000, and I will argue that 18,000 is enough. Then if things go well over time, it grows.
"Also, all around the bottom of the site, we want to add a scheme and that is going to be where the real value is in this because there will be a mix of commercial, residential - again, depending on the final site we go with.
"And this is why I really like Rotherham United's model because it's set up so they're building a hotel, it's by the river Rother where it's designated as regeneration so built into the bottom of the stadium are retail units, cafes, you name it, it's brilliant."
Personally I think they will build one if SISU don't buy the Ricoh lock stock & barrel.
However if they do build a stadium I think it would be about 9 miles away from Coventry Centre & if it is I won't be going.
Then somewhat less than delighted when it popped up in Princethorpe!
This is where I mean, this is 8.7miles from Earl St
What an amazing roll of the dice that would be ! 40 million blown away in 7 years ,and then throw another 30 chasing the losses. No I doubt it . Tim and Joy have been backtracking just recently and that is no way to enter talks with ccc. I'm afraid it's humble pie on the menu or kiss goodbye to 40 million . Shame because they had most supporters behind them until the rental fracas. They showed their colours and we didn't like what we saw .Personally I think they will build one if SISU don't buy the Ricoh lock stock & barrel.

How would that fit in with the NEC? Surely it's cannibalising the market?

Then again, Byng has links with HS2 doesn't he?
Not exactly, he is trying to get a disused line that passes close to that HS2 interchange redeveloped, but as you can see the line links up to existing Coventry-Birmingham line close to where I reckon they're considering..
Do you get my line of reasoning?
edgy those who end up being wrong never remember that for the next time.
If the " new" stadium fails to materialise ,how do the supporters willing to go along with sisu ,otium , sky blue leisure's plans feel knowing theve been misled
To be honest I havn't seen many acl 'fans' on here as a lot claim, just people that hate sisu a hell of a lot more than acl.There are no ACL fans, just CCFC fans.
Yeah, you can say pretty much anything about people you make up!
Automatic was never mentioned but there are some on here who want the new stadium built etc
