Hmm....I love it for us, but it sort of feels like it is giving Wasps more legitimacy as a "local" club too.
Not very impressed with how this has been announced on the CBS website.
Whats not to like, right colours, has our name in it, and the "Coventry" is the biggest part of the logo, will look good on the ground but the name is a mouthful!
So we are not back at the Rioch after all, deal must have fell through, we are playing at new place Coventr B/S arena
Although given they’re self-publicising as Coventry Building Society Arena I guess they changed back!
Will it become known to opposing fans as the BS Arena??
Your HSBC’s, your NatWest’s and your Santanders are what we should be looking at.
As long as it's not Lloyds. Just about had enough of that horse smiling in the advert
As it's Holbrooks I can offer you a 50st naked women visible from Tesco.
Yeah, it's a bit "National League" for my liking. Where are Budget Skips when you need a strong local name?
Personally I shall be glad to be shot of 'The Ricoh'. Calling it the 'The Coventry Stadium' myself
I actually like it, It's going to end up shortened to 'The Cov' or 'The Coventry'. Makes it sound even more like our place than theirs.
I’ve only ever really said I’m going to the match/game or up the city anyway.
“I’m going to the Ricoh Arena today to watch Coventry City play a football match” doesn’t sound the same.

I've always gone for
"I'm going to the Ricoh Arena, built by The Miller Partnership and opening in 2005 to watch a match of professional association football involving Coventry City Football Club (founded in 1883 as Singers FC) and [insert opposition details]. The game will be played in the SkyBet Championship, the second tier of the English football pyramid.
Looking forward to going to Craven Cottage next season singing to the Fulham fans "Where were you, where were you, where were you at Coventry Building Society Arena, where were you at the Coventry Building Society Arena"
Very little mention of the City in the press release, surprise, surprise it's all Wasps this, Wasps that. Well I say Wasps, bunch of cunts and always will be!
Ahhh the Coventry BS arena

Haven't looked back through thread yet, but guessing that there are several 'lack of interest' jokes?
Rich Williams off CWR making out that it will be difficult to sing 'EIEIEIO off to the Cov Building Society Arena we go', as if we used to sing that about the Ricoh?!?!?

To be fair it is a deal between CBS and Wasps to rename the stadium Wasps own.
I bet Cov Building Supplies are hoping it gets abbriviated.
If I was them I'd play off it.
