    What would it take to fill Sixfields?

    Its about pride for me, I hate the thought that Tim Fisher and his Mayfair based mob sitting around a table in their posh London office assuming that they could move us to Northampton and that 1,000s would follow because that's what working class football fans do.

    How long do we wait to form a breakaway club?

    Sphinx properly backed could be in the conference in 4-5 years. CCFC could be there sooner. Its a straight battle between CCC v SISU and the latter will risk the club to get the Ricoh. They won't get the Ricoh, it is political suicide for any of the councillors to be seen to be caving in to a...

    How long do we wait to form a breakaway club?

    I think by January we will know if this is a starter or not. The fact that SISU were prepared to move the club to Northampton convinces me that they are determined and will continue down this path in order to achieve their objectives the freehold of the Ricoh for significantly less than...

    Atherstone v Barrow

    http://metro.co.uk/2013/10/13/hooligans-cause-havoc-at-fa-cup-match-between-atherstone-town-and-barrow-4144182/ Unbelievable scenes what were these lot from Atherstone think they were doing, their images are so clear that they should be expecting a call from the old bill and also fighting with...

    Those fans inside Sixfield Stadium only please ......

    Its not just 1,000 missing fans, the home fans are also paying less as they are heavily discounted tickets with promotions etc.. for ST holders. I see us at Cobblers for a max of 2 years, they will be able to partially fund this year losses through sales of Christie & Callum and possibly Leon...

    Those fans inside Sixfield Stadium only please ......

    There is a typo "we the sixfields 1,000" I meant will the sixfields 1,000 - I will never visit Sixfields unless Cov are playing an away game or Northampton are at home, both unlikely Cobblers will be a conference side next year and by next season it will be liquidation or back at the Ricoh.

    Those fans inside Sixfield Stadium only please ......

    The SIXFIELDS (constructive apologies for childishness) experience to date is Played 6 W4 D1 L1 - with the exception of Brentford, fans have seen either a winning team or an entertaining match and often both, if we have an even weakened side we will be beaten more unlike to play the same quality...

    Those fans inside Sixfield Stadium only please ......

    This season we stay up, and if next season we are still at $hitfields playing do you expect Wilson Christie Leon C Fleck or Moussa to still be at Cov ? Do you think there will be adequate replacements especially as there are significant losses ? What do you think the crowds will be ?. How...

    Where are the replacement players

    Are SISU really supporting the club to the extent that they promised, their idiotic move to a stadium with a smaller capacity than our average home gate ensured we would have less revenue, add that to the lower ticket prices to entice the fans to travel the extra 35 miles. They have brought in...

    pete on cwr

    I would love a debate chat with him, ie does he think there will be a new stadium built in "the coventry area" he would probably say yes, what evidence does he have to suggest that SISU will actually do this where are the plans etc.. In 2 years time if crowds are still as low as they are and...

    No new stadium at Ryton

    The ring road is also very ugly in parts especially near the swimming pool. Coventry's traffic is superb compared to equivalent sized cities such as Leicester or Nottingham, I think this is mostly due to the ring road but agree it created a network of subways that made the place intimidating...

    No new stadium at Ryton

    Wolves Villa Blues & West Brom developed their stadiums and never moved, admittedly Highfield Road was in a very residential area like the old Baseball Ground and Filbert Street and Highbury who all moved away but quite near their old ground. The Brittania is one of the worst locations for a...

    No new stadium at Ryton

    The J2 M6 Ansty site is nearly a mile from the Hilton Hotel, that makes it a non starter would bring A46 and A4600 to a halt. If and when Friargate happensthe whole city centre will be transformed. IMO biggest threat to Cov is HS2 great for Brum, and will lead to even more development and...

    No new stadium at Ryton

    The old rolls royce has still some offices and some small scale manufacturing. The Ansty J2 site is about 1/2 mile walk from the Hilton Hotel at J2. When I say walk would be a thoroughly unpleasant walk

    No new stadium at Ryton

    J2 where the Erickson office is as for Keresley you are right not much left around there to go for. Baginton would be awful,difficult to get to with chaotic traffic on kamikaze islan, ideal site inside the city would be courtaulds but no way would that be allowed to happen even if CCC don't...

    I work in the logistics game, the type of customer going into that site will be a 24/7 operation won't be able to share employee car parking space and no chance for H&S purposes would allow fans on the yards where the HGVs operate. I drive past this site every day once you build a big office and...

    No new stadium at Ryton

    With Pro Logis having already built a huge warehouse, an events management company is building its HO on that site also, no longer enough space to build the 10,000 stadium as will have to be a substantial amount of car parking also.

    Could CCFC relocate to Hinckley

    Grendel what is the SISU masterplan ?. Rather than sniping at fellow fans ACL CCC what do you think SISU will do ?. They are in charge of the club where is it going, the past is history what is the future have you any ideas / insight as to the likely outcome ?.

    How will the stalemate break

    Very aggressive Mr Grendel, you sound nearly as desperate as SISU do. Not sure what part is bollax the hedge fund at my old company is true, I don't trust them, is true, the potential to sign the club to an onerous lease then sell the stadium on is a possibility. SISU need to make a return on...

    How will the stalemate break

    Its all about trust, SISU engineered the administration to break the lease with ACL and still maintain ownership of the club, allowing them to move the club out of the city and then people wonder why there is a lack of trust. If SISU get the Ricoh cheap then they will be able to sign the club...
