Another simple young reporter lent on to be absolutely non-critical of the council, pathetic.
Good to see the Telegraph reports have their fingers on the pulse.
Clearly no idea about the hotel stuff the Telegraph also reported on - - Plans for new 150-bedroom hotel at Ricoh Arena
was it pre-planning advice the club were submitting and enquiry for though ? or was it an enquiry about the land , its availability & cost... we just dont know do we.
Id say the council have the opportunity to put the pressure back on the club here , and declare that they are open to discussion for the purchase of the site and are willing to engage it public discussions about the possibility of planning for a stadium.
Might be better to get any city fans/people in the Longford Ward not to vote for Mr Duggins then see how he likes it when livelihoods are under threatYeah, as the council also own the land there's the other aspect other than just planning too.
It said in the last open statement last week.
Looks like he has done that again.
Will be interesting to see the next statement...

Which of course is exactly what the council have done for Wasps with regard to building a hotel on car park c.
Don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect similar treatment for the football club.
No I dont know for sure either I was just making sure that the correct information was out there in relation to part of the process, not expressing an opinion
It was however SISU who said that they had " provided to the Council four separate masterplans for the site." To me that indicates more than an enquiry about availability, but i appreciate others might see it differently
What pisses me off as desperation kicks in reality disappears and I can’t believe sisu haven’t if they are serious haven’t done oodles of homework and I can’t believe have chosen this site, there’s just about every negative possible,
listed buildings,
Poor infrastructure
Poor public transport
Poor parking,
You cannot seriously compare Masseys and it’s traffic with a new stadium first there was a huge car park at the back of the plant and obvious there were two rush hours day and lorry traffic but that grew over time from before the war, starting when there were few cars. Eastern Green estate didn’t exist intil the 70s, I remember that being fields right through to Allesley.
I’m not anti a new stadium and I don’t care where it is so long as it’s inside Cov. All I want is a proposal that’s for real not just words. There’s been over a year to develop plans, designs, who is building it and timescale. I suspect the EFL will want that too.
In fairness to sisu they didn’t announce this themselves when they do I expect some meat in the bones.
Local elections coming up v soon, we will not be voting for Labour or Tories.Might be better to get any city fans/people in the Longford Ward not to vote for Mr Duggins then see how he likes it when livelihoods are under threat
You could do with some of the politically savvy people on here running in an independent group.Local elections coming up v soon, we will not be voting for Labour or Tories.
Lost our votes over this (and also the 2nd referendum bollox proposal).
No point Labour will win there seats and the Tories will in the slightly posher seats. Most people in cov won't vote based on thisYou could do with some of the politically savvy people on here running in an independent group.
It’s sad really. Charlton managed to get elected in Greenwich to sort their ground out.No point Labour will win there seats and the Tories will in the slightly posher seats. Most people in cov won't vote based on this

The council have repeatedly stated when talking to the telegraph its designated for education and sporting use. If they're suddenly claiming its education only that needs checking.Report on cwr about meeting with ccc on this Woodlands plan. Number of things came out that there were things re that site that would need to happen. I didn’t catch all but one thing said was there are 10 building on the site that are Grade 2 listed and the site is still an education site and to remove that it needs to go to the Secretary of State and there’s something there that goes to English Heritage didn’t catch what. The guy interviewed thought the whole planning process could take 3 years before any building was started sounds a long job to me.
Are you for real it's a fucking nightmare the roundabouts are shit and none locals make it worse by not knowing how to go around them same at the Camley roundabout.Yes I’m sure
Exactly will we last 5 years at somewhere like Brum?The council have repeatedly stated when talking to the telegraph its designated for education and sporting use. If they're suddenly claiming its education only that needs checking.
Several grade 2 listed buildings but it appears that listing is relatively easy to remove and there is room for a stadium with those buildings still standing so that won't be an insurmountable issue.
Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it took 3 years to break ground on a project of this size. In fact I'd say that was optimistic. Should it get to that stage will be down to the EFL to put down progress markers the club need to hit.
That’s right I worked there and if you worked up the track far enough you could go home, the only blokes who stopped to the official time were the ones clocking their gang members home for overtime at 5I used to work there many moons ago. The staggered start and finish times helped, but it was always better to avoid broad lane as the queues used to be pretty bad, every day.
Surely if this proceeds then the requirements have been met for SISU to drop the legal action and we sign a short term deal to stay at the Ricoh until the new stadium is ready.Exactly will we last 5 years at somewhere like Brum?

Drive up there regular and my daughter used it every day when she worked in Meriden.
Screw putting in a full planning application with experts devising a transport plan. LAST and Magwitch have decided its not possible.That’s right I worked there and if you worked up the track far enough you could go home, the only blokes who stopped to the official time were the ones clocking their gang members home for overtime at 5

Where are you getting this education restriction from? There's no mention of it in any documents relating to the site on the council website as far as I can see.but the education side of things and the Secretary of State involvmentc is very different. I see that as the biggest obstacle.

Personally I wouldn't just sit back and wait 5 years as I've said earlier in this thread. I would suggest the council put a time limited forward contract in place, exactly as they have done for Wasps, that requires SISU to submit and get approval for a planning application in a specific timeframe. I would then suggest the EFL puts down markers as to what progress is required by a particular dates.You are right of course.
So if the council don't block SISU from following the normal protocols to try and buy this land for a stadium development.
Then SISU should drop the legal action and like you say try and get a 5 year deal whilst they build it.
Let's see how that pans out?
Cannot see for one minute the local residents accepting this "proposal"
More non intentional showboating i'm afraid!
Planning permission has not been submitted - it would have had to have been advertised and we'd have all heard about that! Its standard for developers to have lengthy pre-application discussions on tricky sites before submitting detailed planning applications. Would be good to know if the site has been genuinely considered for stadium by both CCC and SISU.
As an ex-Woodlands pupil, I agree that the site is plenty big enough for a stadium, plus potentially schools and other supporting residential, retail/ commercial development and community facilities - would just need a thorough Masterplan from a creative experienced team.
My mum still lives very close and I grew up in Eastern Green so I think one of hurdles is traffic/parking infrastructure. That said its not insurmountable with P&R, buses and trains to Tile Hill. Arguably the biggest challenge is local politics - in a moderately wealthy Tory voting area where protecting property prices/NIMBYism will be rife. I expect Posters in windows and a Facebook Group - KEEP CCFC OUT OF EASTERN GREEN will surface any day now! :happy:
I wonder if CCFC/SISU have tactically thought this site would seriously annoy the biggest number of people who then virtually beg Wasps and the Council to get a deal for the club to stay at the Ricoh. Who knows in this sorry saga but I fear my dream of a pint in the Scirebourne/Unicorn and walk up to the match might never become a reality!
You do realise there is a new road network developing to support the huge housing development which will create more traffic every day than an average Ccfc attendance 23 days a year don’t you?

From the bloke interviewed tonight on CWR just after 5 Andrew something, find out for your fucking self on listen again you might learn something I’m sure someone on here will.Where are you getting this education restriction from? There's no mention of it in any documents relating to the site on the council website as far as I can see.
The council themselves have public stated the land could be put to other uses including housing.
In fact a strong argument could be made that a new CCFC stadium, at which SBiTC would be based, is in line with the council sporting objectives for the site.

Oh look another that's all over this thread, but has avoided the open letter thread.It was also mentioned back in 2016 when Fisher first announced an interest in the site as a new base for the training ground and academy.
CCFC consider Woodlands school site as possible home for Academy
