St Andrew's it is then (1 Viewer)

[It’sabatch87]

Tbh I’m glad we need to leave wasps to rot & get the new ground built

No new ground will ever be built mate

20 miles doesn't prevent anybody watching city... It's an inconvenience that you either choose to overcome or not

I suppose I could resign from my job...

 

[covcity4life]

All I'm saying is, it doesn't stop people going.. It's an inconvenience

If their parents choose not to take the kid, it's because they choose not to go and THAT is what prevented the kid watching city.

And it's fair to say SOME of those parents may go if back in cov. So this move is impacting some families

Not blaming sisu. Just shouldnt gloss over that this isn't a good thing for many many fans

 

[Evo1883]

I suppose I could resign from my job...

But you wouldn't have went anyway? So for you football in Coventry or on a Saturday in general is also an inconvenience

 

[Nick]

Ridiculous

You just admitted its an inconvenience. So there r gonna be kids out there who would like to go but maybe their parents or friends parents dont go anymore

Wether u think the adults are wrong or not you can't say some young fans wont miss out

Also lets not fuking have st donation threads same time as saying traveling to another city to watch games is only a minor inconvience. Clearly money and job working hours etc are not an issue to watch cov so fuck the donation thread too!

It's down to the parents really isn't it?

 

[cc84cov]

I said this mate until I seen a joint statement from the Uni also

 

[NorthernWisdom]

But you wouldn't have went anyway?

Lazy statement that.

You could say the same if the club moved to Truro

 

[covcity4life]

It's down to people to make their own decisions. St Andrews is more time consuming and transport costs factor in. Can't have a go at people for not going or make out like they let tiny problem stop them from going. This situation makes it harder for many than if still at ricoh

 

[Evo1883]

Lazy statement that.

How? You implying you would have to quit your job to go st Andrews would also mean you would have to quit your job to go to Coventry... So you work on a Saturday? That's your inconvenience

 

[cc84cov]

The council strike again

Depends how much love you have for the club in my eyes I’ll be there with my kids no doubt about it

 

[jordan210]

If you dont agree with wasps or the councils stance your a SISU agent

 

[fernandopartridge]

Warwick plans are not real. More SISU rubbish. Sec of state has called in the proposed access road off the A46 that this stadium would need, Poor old SISU, their plans would be scuppered by this. They’re still after the Ricoh. CCFC are collateral damage.

What's the grand plan then? If CCFC fall by the wayside as well as Wasps. There is a delapidated stadium declining in value with no tenants and an exhibition hall suitable for only pretty small events.

It's the same as Sixfields isn't it, BRING US HOME! Thousands fucked off after the first game and didn't bother anyway.

I would love you to post this in the season ticket donation thread lmao

Why do people have to be extreme when discussing a factual point that getting to a ground 20 miles away is not impossible but an inconvenience..

"YoU WoUlDnT SaY ThAt iF iT WaS MaDrID"

 

[NorthernWisdom]

How? You implying you would have to quit your job to go st Andrews would also mean you would have to quit your job to go to Coventry... So you work on a Saturday? That's your inconvenience

Depends where my job is, and what time it finishes.

One of the two grounds is a hassle, but doable if I want to (inconvenience) the other is not doable (not possible).

You could say the same if the club moved to Truro

It's almost like if you don't jump through 72 hoops, you shouldn't be there anyway which I find very bizarre.

Surely we all want more fans to turn up, be they fairweather or not? more fans = better atmosphere = more cash = more good feeling = longer term fans = longer term success.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Imagine having a council like ours

the people of Coventry voted them in

 

[covcity4life]

It's the same as Sixfields isn't it, BRING US HOME! Thousands fucked off after the first game and didn't bother anyway.

I was there at Yeovil I think it was when saw huge drop off

Still bigger crowds thab st airfields tho? 4k more or so. That's 4000 fans that wouldn't be watching cov if at sixfields.

Stadium moves have an impact. Can't deny that

 

[cooperskyblue]

Gutted as I genuinely thought we would be back. But I'll be there at St Andrews like last yeat cheering on our amazing Skyblue Boys in the Championship.

We need to move on and focus on this new stadium, we need to see concrete movement, more than just statements, we need to see real progress this season as my fear is in 12 months time we will have had 2 seasons away from Coventry and heard or seen nothing else regarding the new stadium.

Have absolutely no time for the council or wasps or the ricoh anymore, this whole fiasco has just tainted my view on it from when I first went.

Frustrating more than anything. But we need to back Mark Robins and the players even more at St Andrew's this season.

 

[Evo1883]

the people of Coventry voted them in

Sadly

 

[cc84cov]

I would love you to post this in the season ticket donation thread lmao

You know what I’m saying mate I don’t wanna hear the usual excuses on here about travel etc we need to stick together get behind robins and the team we’re back in the championship we must carry on doing our bit we’re in this together

 

[NorthernWisdom]

Decent warehouse space for all these newfangled mail order companies needed in a post-Covid world...

 

[cc84cov]

My worry is how much more will robins put up with if he’s backed this summer I think we will be ok if he can’t get who he wants and a bigger club etc comes in I can see him going

My point as I'm sure people are already aware, is aimed at supporters who would normally go to the football but are trying to make out the 6 pound bus fare return is just a stretch too far

 

[covcity4life]

I know what u r saying. U r motivated to support city and fu k wasps/council. I get it and I like it

But i will not agree that this move doesnt impact fans. And that it weeds out the bad fans etc.

I never said that tbh, you think that's what I mean.. But I don't

 

[Houchens Head]

Let's return to Sixfields.

 

[SBT]

All I'm saying is, it doesn't stop people going.. It's an inconvenience

If their parents choose not to take the kid, it's because they choose not to go and THAT is what prevented the kid watching city.

So if all true City fans just get over themselves, pack St Andrew's every week, what incentive is there for SISU to build a new ground in Coventry? Does Coventry even need a football club?

 

[SkyblueBri]

Gutted my heart problems mean now can’t travel without my mates and no way will they go to Brum

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Can see robins walking at some point, he wants us back in cov desperately this is a fucking joke all parties can fuck off, they have all had a hand in this

 

[Evo1883]

The council doesn't think so

Says the bloke who was caught out making things up for the council last week. It's always the ones like that who give it the "Sisu agent" line.
