Is this a conundrum? If we do ground share.. (1 Viewer)

Fucking hell.

We won’t be any worse off?

Apart from the lower number of fans attending we won’t actually be any worse of than being at the Ricoh.

We’d still be paying rent (possibly lower).

We’d get a better deal on refreshment sales?

We’d still be playing in a stadium that wasn’t our own.

We’d still be playing second fiddle (fixtures wise) to the ground owning club. (Not playing on Satdees).

Am I missing something?

We wouldn't be playing in our city.
However this must be a wind up thread.

I hope this post is meant to be a joke

Maybe we'll be worse off because we won't be playing in Coventry

Isn't that just inconvenient for some/most people in the (hopefully) short term?

I wouldn't class it as inconvenient as it shouldn't of got to this in the first place! More along the lines of a fucking joke that we won't be able to watch our team play in Coventry due to all parties involved

Totally agree, but for the sake of CCFC though, I'd rather be alive, surviving then hopefully thriving in our own stadium, be it Ricoh Arena or Unicorn Rainbow Arena than be expelled from the league?

For sure! But to say-

'We won’t be any worse off?
'Apart from the lower number of fans attending we won’t actually be any worse of than being at the Ricoh'

Is deluded! It could kill our club

You've sold it to me.

and of course we cant sing...." THIS IS YOUR WEMBLEY!"...

You know what, your right, every few years we could change grounds, we could go on a little tour of the midlands, and change our name to Coventry wanderers

All the while we lose transfer targets and our better players to teams with no background controversy and grounds in their own town or city. Robins can pretty much tear up the list of targets if we end up at St Andrews, Villa Park or wherever else our genius overlords have in mind.

See us, we're a fuckin' omnishambles...

Couldn't we re-brand as the Warwickshire Wanderers? To be honest, we can joke, but this would probably still be above this glorified nonsense of a 'Pheonix' club for me.

Nah we’d be better off cos we’d get 100% of the f&b sales from the 7 fans that turn up

Or, drop legals, accept a dreadful deal on the Ricoh, NEVER own our own stadium and die a really drawn out slow death anyway??

If I was dying. And told I could spend my last 12 months in Cornwall with the people I care about the most or spend 3 years in hospital on life support eating through a drip. I know which I'd choose

Unfortunately lower fans = less revenue = lower budget = poorer squad = less success = Even less fans.
I think you get the gist of the downward spiral.
Also we have lost fans whilst in Northampton that started going to CRFC instead and still do since we came back.
Some fans do find other things to do. Some since Northampton some won't come back now until SISU go. You lose younger fans whose older family members won't take them.
So basically I think the rent will be the same or probably more. The food and drink will be the same or possibly less compared to a lesser percentage share of 7-11k fans, I can't see it been more from a bigger percentage share from 1-3k fans.


So the only advantage I could see is Wasps maybe going out of business. For me it's too big a risk of the certain long term damage to us on the chance it may screw up Wasps

I’ve known some people for 30+ years who seem to favour closing the club down over all other options. I can’t begin to understand it myself but they all still class themselves as City fans. A couple even refused to go to Wembley last year.

I’m really not sure how anyone can think like that. What do they think will happen if we disappear?
