I quite like Michael. :)

I'm not disagreeing about the Ricoh. We all want to return there, but if it doesn't happen and we return - even 500 yards over the boundary - and people refuse to attend then I really don't think a phoenix team would work. May as well transfer allegiance to the Sphinx.

OK, let's imagine that City did build their own stadium, say just over the boundary and returned. Would people still stop following them as they say on here and form a phoenix team? Coventry has shown in the past it doesn't have enthusiasm for one team nevermind two. What would happen?

So the crap attendances at the Ricoh were even crappier than I thought? Or is this one of those "only works one way" kind of things?

Agree John. And he really made a nuisance of himself on Tuesday night, didn't stop chasing. Once he settles in he'll be a good acquisition.

Incredible? Why is it incredible? SISU bought us when we were on the brink of......?

I would say "right owners" is more important than "new owners". Any port in a storm isn't necessarily the way to go.

We've never been able to attract 25K fans regularly even when we've been doing relatively well. I don't think that will ever happen. The people of the city and surrounding area haven't supported the team in numbers for years.

Not sure a team at a low level could afford to play at the ricoh. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I find your posts strange at the best of times but I really don't understand what you're getting at here. What "pretext"? What "agenda"?

I would. If a game was chosen and there were thousands on the hill then I would join them.

We get that a lot on here, don't we. Lots of people telling others what they've got to do, then can't do anything themselves as "I don't go to Sixfields". You don't have to. Rather than 12 on a hill have 1200 or 2000 or 4000....what's stopping you? You're not going into Sixfields, are you?

Now in the second half he really clattered into one of their players and the Carlisle bench went mad. However, he'd already been fouled so we got the free kick. I don't remember his getting a yellow for it. On the whole the midfield was shocking last night, Fleck (At fault for the goal)...

But you don't have to be a "Coventry kid" to be interested. I wouldn't but plenty of others would. And, it's not difficult to work out from our crowds over the year, many thousands of others in Coventry wouldn't be interested either.

But you're not saying that, if you were then fine. You're saying that as I'm not a "Coventry Kid" then the phoenix team would be meaningless to me as I don't have any "ties" with the City. It's there in black and white, so don't lie or backtrack. If you want to be a xenophobe then at least...

Ah look, our own little Nick Griffin is getting all precious. I've got no problem with "Coventry Kid" or anyone from Coventry. Just xenophobes like you who don't think "outsiders" should support their team. It's so 1970s. Do you think then that only players from Coventry should wear the shirt?

No, I do know. A new team wouldn't be Coventry City, wouldn't have the history, wouldn't be the same club I'd (wrongly apparently) supported for 40 years. It's Coventry City or nothing.

Well, I'm happy to say I'm stupid then because your attitude towards people is decidedly odd. Anyway, if it does ever happen then good luck, I'll watch from the sidelines in interest.

I was 4, so before I used to go too.

And there you go again with your "outsider" shit, but hey that's you. If a phoenix team ever started and it was up to Coventry people alone then you'd have crowds on par to Sixfields. Good luck to you if that happens.
