can’t believe there are some against us going up…
Yeah but the new one could have a sliding pitch and retractable roofIt would be cheaper and quicker to buy wasps out than build a 35,000 stadium with facilities for diverse revenue streams.
If only someone had thought of that before....Yeah but the new one could have a sliding pitch and retractable roof
Get our stadium back take down them ugly wasp crests and have a proper playing surfaceWhy?

Buy wasps, and Coventry rugby club, combine the two, under the Coventry name, use the Butts for our U23 matches, and let the rugby club use the Ricoh for its bigger matches, everyones a winner (unless you support WASPS, but hey-ho, there are other London rugby clubs you ould always support)So you would buy Wasps then kill it off? What a waste of money.

What I'm basically saying is close Wasps and give Coventry its players!!!!
What he's proposing is Coventry RFC in the premiership playing at the Ricoh and wasps out of existence and you're not for it.What a load of tosh. No thanks

Did you get out of the bed on the wrong side and land headfirst on the floor or something?
Imagine the problems we’ll have when we get into the champions league - 150k a week plusWhilst we obviously must aspire to getting in the PL I don't imagine it would be a particular enjoyable experience. Even with the parachute payment supported clubs the Championship is much more evenly balanced , more interesting and more fun.
Long term it would also produce its own problems. To even remotely compete we would have to start bringing in new players on around £50k a week, and to preserve harmony and team spirit we would have to uplift wages of our existing players to something approaching that too. Fine while we remain in the PL, but get relegated and the pressure is on to bounce back before the PL money runs out.
Of course we have to get promoted first
Why dont we just invest in our own club. Pay off debts. Put money in to run the club. Then Facility upgrades and upkeeping. Then management and key player contracts. Then invest in improving the squad. And new stadium at Warwick Uni, 26,000 should be a good capacity with only 2,000 for away fans.

We average crowds of around 20,000, so wouldnt it be better with a 26,000 seater rather than 30,000 so it doesnt look empty26k????
Maybe a few years ago. Any new stadium needs to be 30k minimum now, which brings its whole reason for existing into question.
If I had the means and the patience I’d love to hear Joys reasoning for a new ground and what the projected financials are. Saying we can’t afford to be knocking around a 32k ground when we’re pulling in 12k and paying £2m for it is one thing, saying that when we’re averaging over 20k, just broke our ST sales record, and are paying relative peanuts is something else.
Another 30k stadium would be in direct competition with an established competitor, would be hard to justify on planning, and would cause a lot more local impact than a 18-20k as discussed before.

This Adaramola looks class
Great in theory. And I agree it’s sensible and prudent.If we go up, then debts get payed off, more money is in the club. Can start the building of a new stadium. Then it looks an attractive buy for a new owner and even if we are only there for 1 season we can then go back to watching us play some good football and winning games
Agree entirely.So that’s you and me in. Are you going to convince the rest it’s a good idea.If we got promoted I’d be tempted to treat it as another season in the Championship budget wise and tell players that this is their chance to prove themselves with big fat win bonuses. As hard as it would be to watch as a fan, I’d take us getting whalloped every week for a season if it means our financial worries are sorted.
I agree I think he could have offered us a different option in the final third.
Shame, would’ve been a good addition
Promotion would surely be our best chance of the owners selling up? For that reason (and for the sheer elation of going up)….
if he was announced captain that would be an issue, i wouldn’t worry too much about that.Derby announce Max Bird as their new vice captain…. Says alot about his leadership skills but also suggests they don’t see him leaving anytime soon.
We should call it Arena 2000Yeah but the new one could have a sliding pitch and retractable roof
I don’t think the O’hare deal is as far as some think , so I would think it will be just a couple of young loan signingsMuch else afoot @Skybluebeliever in terms of the other possible loan signing Robins mentioned (not the lwb which I thinmeveryone assumes is Adaramola) which may become available next week? Had hoped it may be Anjorin but looks like he's headed back to Huddersfield.
