If there was no where suitable to play in the city and we desperately needed a new ground then I would go just outside the boundary. However the circumstances to which this new ground would happen makes it unacceptable to me.

There used to be two lads who tried to get football songs going in there which didn't catch on, until one game against Nottingham when after the Blaze come from behind had the whole arena singing "your not singing anymore" at the Panthers fans. Was probably the best atmosphere I've known in there.

Coventry is our home, HR was just the venue.

In name only there isn't. I will use the term "Urban Area" then if it makes you happy. Horwich is part of Bolton anyway: The Metropolitan Borough of Bolton Listeni/ˈboʊltən/ is a metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester, England. It is named after its largest settlement, Bolton, but covers a...

The difference is all those clubs play within their conurbation. Coventry has very clear defined boundaries. There is no "Greater Coventry" so to speak. Pretty much all of our urban area lies within the city.

Mid table at the moment. Belfast are top so it will be a tough game on Saturday.

Well I don't want to get into a debate about which side is right, but there is pretty much nothing the council could have done to excuse sisu moving the club 34 miles away. What they have done is unforgivable.

The building of the Ricoh was a different situation. That was about trying to progress the club (admittedly its been a disaster). Any future ground will be built on the basis that Joy Seppala doesn't like Coventry Council. I don't really see why we as a city should be robbed of our football...

Of course you don't have to live in the city to support them, no club could survive purely on the support of a city as small as Coventry. However I do detect some (a very small minority it must be said) from outside the city who just don't get the link between the city and the club. They just...

Your second line is why I think Fisher is serious when he says about it being 8 or 9 miles away. That would certainly mean it is no longer Coventry City.

Define teeny bit. If its on the boundary then maybe. If its 8 miles from town (as fishers has been quoted as saying it might be) then no. The club would be dead to me.

Well if its outside of Coventry I wont be going anyway, but I can tell you what any new stadium will look like. Crap. It will be built in the cheapest way possible. No imagination, no flair. Think Colchester's new ground, or the Keepmoat. Basically the Ricoh will look like a structure of...

He's compared it to HR so hopefully he will stay there if we ever come back.

Ownership is irrelevant. The Ricoh was, is, and always will be our home imo.

No need for investigative journalism for that. He is often on here willing to answer questions about the original deal. He seems happy to help clear anything up and comes across as very polite and as someone who cares about Coventry.

Must be no more than 200 seats?

Their bound to try and do it then!

Would explain the comment from Fisher "We have been talking to council's outside the City boundary, who would welcome the Sky Blues with open arms". None of the Warwickshire Councils seemed to know anything about it. Perhaps he's been talking to Hinckley & Bosworth BC?

Great idea from a Sisu point of view. New ground in a LE postcode area will eliminate the need for it to be redeveloped.
