Coventry City are now looking at four sites for their new stadium after missing the eight week deadline to finalise a deal on one site.
According to the Coventry Telegraph's Les Reid, Tim Fisher and those involved with this project are looking at four sites within a six mile radius from the centre of Coventry.
The four sites include Brandon Stadium and a spokesman for CBRE, the property consultants appointed by the club said to Les Reid: : “We are continuing to work closely with the club to find a suitable location, with four potential sites currently being considered, one of which we have agreed terms on, and this continues to progress well.
“Due diligence on the site is likely to take a further four weeks.
“As previously confirmed, we have short-listed a handful of sites, all of which are within six miles of Coventry city centre.
“Remaining close to the club’s fan base is one of the key drivers in the site selection process.
“Vectos, appointed transport consultants on the project, are looking at each of the sites to ensure they will be easily accessible to the fans.
“Likewise, we are working closely with the other advisers on the project, including planners (Turleys) and architects (AFLS+P), to ensure its ultimate deliverability.
“Otium has invested significant financial resources in the project to date and continue to do so to ensure expedient completion of the stadium within the Coventry area.
“Those sites which we are currently in discussions on are commercially sensitive and it would not be appropriate to release this information at the current time.
“CBRE is providing regular updates to the Football League as part of the process.”
