    Starting a new club - a way to gague support

    So Norman, you'd happily wait a decade as Brighton and Charlton did, before making a decision? Or am I misinterpreting your post, it's a bit vague.

    BRANDON v RICOH - In Your Dreams

    A year ago an undertaker tried to open up a business in Binley Woods. There was so much opposition, the idea was thrown out. I can see the irony here. The opposition to Sisu moving into the area would meet 100% opposition. & I'll stress again, the Brandon site is right by ancient protected...

    Starting a new club - a way to gague support

    Norman Wisdom said this....."If CCFC do vanish, that's the time." At what point do we say, Northampton Cobblers are dead? August 11th? Next January, end of this coming season? By then it'll be too late for 2014/15. Sky Blue Homer said...."What happens when original ccfc returns to Cov & if...

    BRANDON v RICOH - In Your Dreams

    Johnnie, it's a non starter. I go past the old garden centre most days. Not big enough. The local opposition would be total.

    Did somebody speak? Thought I heard a little whining sound.

    Starting a new club - a way to gague support

    Covkid, a few have said the FA have discretion in where they place you. They would know that we have decent support. Two or three thousand turning up at the Dog & Duck FC ground wouldn't be on. They'd have that in mind. A club of our stature in this trouble is unique I'd say. Even Wolves, when...

    Starting a new club - a way to gague support

    Jack, this has got to be a contingency plan. Bottom of our hearts we want CCFC playing at the Ricoh and finally Sisu to go. But if that doesn't happen a new Coventry City FC playing at the Ricoh has to be a plan. US, the fans, will know we are the true CCFC, whatever name we may choose. Ideal...

    They think it's all over ?

    Any Trust members reading? Thoughts please. If these latest ACL/Sisu meetings result in Northampton - forming a new club has to be on the agenda.

    CCFC announcement on new stadium

    If Northampton goes ahead we should be making plans for 2014 season. A new CCFC at the Ricoh. & watch us kick Sisu Northampton out of sight. They'll collapse with us getting support in our own town. Stupot, you're a real defeatist pain in the arse.

    CCFC announcement on new stadium

    That site backs onto Brandon Woods, which is listed in the Domesday Book. Belongs to a well established charity and well protected by law. Not a cat in hell's chance and certainly not big enough. Where do they dream them up.

    Vice-Captain

    Dimi, what do you expect? Lots of very angry fans. Who cares who the vice captain is at Northampton.

    They think it's all over ?

    I might add. The threat of a new Coventry City playing in the city must be a tactic that we can use against Sisu at the very least. If they think there is a club playing AT THE RICOH in front of at least 6,000 let's say (or more if you all get behind it) it will galvanise their minds. It's about...

    They think it's all over ?

    SALTAIRE BANTAM said'''' "You (the followers of a sky blue kitted out team representing the City of Coventry) are the club. You can't turn your back on yourself! It's just a case of taking playing matters into your own hands for a short (hopefully) period. No FA rule is hard and fast, that has...

    CCFC announcement on new stadium

    Jack Griffin says this below & it makes a lot of sense. If talks fail to bring us back to the Ricoh today a Coventry team playing at the Ricoh might quickly become OUR Coventry City (subtle name change required legally, of course). We could let the Sisu team in Northampton rot and build here...

    Courtaulds site, new home?

    But the old cricket, inside city boundary? Surely council would knock that on the head.

    Courtaulds site, new home?

    Aren't these sites inside the city boundary? If so, non starters as council wouldn't give planning permission. We should be clearer this evening. If Greg Dyke is there - come on Greg, put them in their place.
