Quite probably a combination of both Fatso. The wheels on the gravy train had to come off eventually.

Thank you, I'll bear you in mind. Thank you again.

Ahem CKNQ, ROYAL Leamington Spa!! Nice area, always liked going there on the Midland Red bus as a kid.

I'd very much like us to be drawn away against Fulham on a bright crisp Autumn afternoon. It's been a very long time since we were last there, hope whenever the fixture we can take significant numbers and all enjoy watching us play at a lovely old ground, the new riverside stand thats taking...

Fancy Bournemouth on a warm sunny Saturday afternoon at THE COVENTRY ARENA (knickers to the building society bit) and Hamer and company give them a right good spanking.

Forgive me, I'm not after any sympathy here. I've recently had a full knee replacement and have had a couple of infections one in the wound and one in the ankle and I'm feeling a bit rubbish right now. My mobility is significantly better post op but I'm not relishing the thought of the second...

Very true SAJ which is why I started the thread given that players and managers aren't in post for long. I wondered whether other members thought similar to me.

I have to say its not an area I know very well and in fairness I'm not attracted to. I'm sure it has its positives.

Ipstones, 5 minutes drive away from me.

Thats a truly shocking admission SBAndy. 🥴

I was just wondering if players and managers when a move to another club is on the table consider the local surroundings with regard to amenities, quality of schools for their children, nightlife, restaurants etc etc Some parts of the country are more attractive to live in than others, fact. Or...

Has the giant faded red Ricoh signs been taken down yet or is it not officially The Coventry Building Society Arena until the 1st July?

Sorry It'sabatch87, I was getting ahead of myself. Apologies.

Got to include Layer Road surely

Its not so much the 'off the shelf' stadia that is common place now, it's the half completed redeveloped grounds that haven't been finished for a variety of reasons that I don't like. Grounds like St James Park Newcastle, Old Trafford Manchester, City Ground Nottingham, Elland Road Leeds spring...

Again Craven Cottage has/is being modernised but has retained its individuality.

Wasn’t there a dirty great Normid Superstore stuck in the corner of one of the goal ends.

I liked Highbury because I adore art deco architecture. I have to say Villa Park and Ibrox are fine old fashioned proper grounds that have been modernised.
