They should all knock it on the head and just bow down before our new ground like it's the god damn death star.

How come Coventry want a new ground? Their current stadium must be only 20 or so years old

Málaga have confirmed they will move out of La Rosaleda for the 2026/27, ahead of redevelopment for the 2030 World Cup.

But devastated, current ground has lotd and lots of memories for me.

Ground will go from 30,500 to 45,000.

The Ground still needs funding

I'd wager it's because the stadium is now owned by Mike Ashley, who has been trying to evict them for the last... well, since he's started owning it.

It does.

Quite a bit has been raised from understanding. Bellway themselves have pledged 30% of the build costs, and I believe Marine will commence the build even without the full amount and complete work as and when the rest of the funding is in place.

I'm very impressed by the organisation from Marine on this one, it must be said. They have a real timeliness and the CEO seems to really be on the ball with it all.

What does he gain from not having tenants?

Surely it's not a good thing, if he isn't receiving an income?

Honestly mate no idea, it's Mike Ashley.

He probably wants to negotiate the deal to get more rent - Coventry signed the last agreement a year before he bought it or something and it's likely on favourable terms as they have been long-term tenants.

He also evicted everyone else using it I think. Maybe he's not doing it for a profit, maybe he's just literal scum.

Yeah especially since WASPS folded, it'd be empty quite often.

They don’t own it and keep getting messed around by the council and the the Fraser group who now own it. They’ve just signed a lease to stay there until 2028 and have been in and out of that ground since 2013.

Didn't realise they are still tenants. Thought when they moved back into the stadium after a disagreement or whatever with the council that they might have ended up buying it but obviously not
