If we move out of the city even for just a short time, I don't think I'd ever go to another CCFC game.
I don't like the name, but I don't think we'd need to replicate CCFC in colour, I think Red is a good choice and I've read a while back that Red is the most successful colour to wear. The badge is nice too.
Edit: wouldn't mind a Yellow & black Dortmund style kit.
I'm more annoyed with the name than the colours. The colours aren't quite so important, but if they had blue then City fans could go up in their sky blue.
Yep. The fans have spoken.
It's not about being a rival, it's about City fans feeling some sense of identity.

Please we are not making a break away team. We are creating a team that CCFC fans can come and support aswell. We are all CCFC season ticket holders.
Yes, course we realise that.
If you are creating something new though then don't call it 'United.'
I really think if you come up with a new name you will have a much better following.
United just is so overused and any City fans who do go will not be chanting 'United' I feel.

Good call, Stu of course, but there is something exciting in starting a new club from scratch. It then gives the fans some input into which way to go with it.
Sorry good luck to you but not for me, I will be supporting ccfc at away games only and if they go out existence will support or follow no one.
Yes indeed.
It would be ideal for me. Supporting City from afar and actually going to watch a local team with fresh ideas.
I would think they would have to start in the cov alliance proe their worth first.
Which is a very fair point.
Westwood Heath appeals to me as it is closer than going over to the back end of Binley Road.
Sphinx is pretty close to the city centre, just around the corner from the bulls head.
Bottom line is though, do you want people to come or not?
If City fans think about it and have the choice of Sphinx or this new club, then I think most will choose Sphinx. Same colours and a name that they can associate with the city of Coventry.
United lacks imagination and holds no historical link with the city of Coventry.
Change the name and I will almost certainly go.
Was thinking that . That's where sphinx started.alot of promotion party's to come
higher you go the more fans will come.look where Yeovil are.good luck with it.
I just don't have the enthusiasm for it, never have, never will.
Personally, I think this new CUFC will go nowhere because there won't be support for it, and I don't like the idea of taking CCFC fans away from CCFC.
If worst came to worst, I'd play Rugby instead or just work on Saturdays.
Why not then .its your team you can do what you want.every club had to start somewhere. I'll come and watch when the city aren't playing.ive got no interest in cov sphinx.. Good luck with it.once your settled start a few kids and youth teams up.loads of pitches up westwood heath to use.

I'd go for Coventry Phoenix or Coventry FC.
I would be interested and I know of an empty stadium you could play in!
I would feel like I was cheating though and if I'm honest, as soon as SISU's claws are out of CCFC, I'd be straight back to my club.
I have no problem with a change of colour. A new club should have it's own identity.

Cov sporting weren't bad in their day.it was just an idea as there was talk of cov sporting starting up again a few years ago.
