No need to go that far. Two biggest cities in England without a league team are currently Wakefield (population 325k) and Coventry (316k). Now, seen as the daft cow (otherwise known as our owner) has stated she wont work with Coventry Council, somewhere like Wakefield might seem an attractive...

Source? Or is that more lies and deception?

If FFP isn't important (and therefore income streams also aren't), can you tell me why my club isn't playing in my city?

Got to like this post!

I think he was worried about taking it off topic ;)

Sisu, The Glaziers, Mike Ashby, The Venkys and Dr Allam will be joining forces after this. Love to see the lot of them get their arses kicked.

Clubs doomed then as we've already been told the club won own it.

Again its a simple solution. Either get some proper seats in there (non corporate ones) or move the TV gantry.

All I'm saying is the faults of the Ricoh aren't to do with the building, but mostly how its run. A fault is only severe if its difficult to correct. Pretty much all the faults you listed (baring location) can be solved without any structural work.

Interesting you say about the raised roof. One of the main criticisms of HR in its later years was the low West Terrace roof. Made a good atmosphere in the stand itself, but trapped the sound in. That rendered it pretty useless for atmosphere around the whole ground. I used to be an East Stand...

Sorry, I thought it was a Grendelesk type sarcastic remark

Like I say, name a new ground that isn't? As much as you or I don't like it, that is modern football. Only way around that is FC City of Coventry.

A rather cheap shot from a normally sensible poster.

Again, location has nothing to do with the building. HR was on the edge of the city (Swan Lane was the boundary) when it was built surrounded by fields. Character isn't something that's built. Its something that builds up over decades. No new ground has character.

Nice inside. Hated how it looked on the outside. Back on the corporate area looks like an apartment block.

So you would rather 4 identical stands? I hate that look. The Ricoh's saving grace is having at least one unique stand.

Take an umbrella.

But that's nothing to do with the actual structure. Your argument is like the people on those house buying TV programmes who wont buy a house because of the colour of the walls. Im not saying the Ricoh is perfect, but the building, the actual structure is one of the best in football. All the...
