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...

In fairness I think all but 2 sixfields games could claim that title, not just this game!

The downward trend wasn't as much as people make out anyway. To average 15k in a relegation season, the clubs worst in at least 50 years is marvellous for a club the size of CCFC.

Well without referring to what some bloke in the pub said, what basis do you claim HR (as a structure) was more popular than the Ricoh?

Not half of us. Just a few fools.

Ok, I apologise for putting words in your mouth. However I still stand by my claim that attendances were consistently higher at the Ricoh than HR, and that is really the only gauge of opinion we can use.

There was also a downward trend at HR up to the end of the 04/05 season when everyone paid it a final visit.

Its an educated guess. FFP will kick in soon, meaning within a few years a competitive team will not be possible.

And yet crowds were consistently higher there than at HR.

I'm always defensive when people make vague generic remarks but are adamant that its truthful. I'm interested to know what the builders missed out when constructing the Ricoh that they didn't at the Walkers or St Marys?

That's down to the fans and players.

Coventry City 2-2 Crewe Alexandra ATTN: 1618 I've highlighted the important bit.

Only one I would say is the Falmer Stadium. Other than that there all cheap versions of the Ricoh. Ricoh has 4 stands, a scoreboard, a pitch, goalposts, dug outs, changing rooms. Can I ask what else should a football ground have?

Name me a new ground (bar the emirates) that's better.

Now this is a ground to be proud of.

Looks nothing more than a decent non league ground to me.

No, if it was in Coventry, in Rowleys Green, and was one of the finest stadiums in the country, that would be positive. Who the hell are Rotherham?
