Aldershot went bust. Aldershot Town were formed. Set up by fans. Aldershot Town play in the same stadium as Aldershot FC. They still have the same nickname as Aldershot and they play in the same colours.

Officially, no, but just checked on Chester. Chester City went bust, a new club Chester FC was formed. 1. Formed by Chester City fans. 2. The Chester FC badge is almost identical to the Chester City FC badge. 3. Play in the same stadium. 4. Still have the same nicknames (Seals/Blues) 5. Play in...

Don't know why you quoted my post there, because I have never suggested that thousands would go and have never suggested a new club playing at the Ricoh either. I also have no desire for this scenario to happen anyway.

In your opinion. ;)

Seems it was only mentioned fleetingly in the meeting, but for some reason that's what is being picked upon this morning.

Totally agree. I am exactly the same.

Not a true Coventrian then. :)

Ah, well that's where you and I differ then. I support all things Coventry. It's my home town and is my parents home town. I cannot stand speedway, but was always rooting for the Bees when they got to any final of anything. I always want Sphinx to win even though I have never had any interest...

Yeah. Agree. All focus needs to be in saving THIS club!

if people went and supported Sphinx, then fine, but that could never be Coventry City to me. if there was no new club I think I could start and back Sphinx, but if there was a new one, then that would be my club. If two teams started? Well, who knows. We can't second guess now that, that would...

You too, Daz.

Just would love to hear the opinions of their fans as to whether they consider the new club to still be the club they had always backed and supported.

It can only be perceived from some kind of reality surely? Irish is right, it is about opinion. That doesn't mean that officially it is fact. If City go bust and a new club is formed and called Coventry City AFC and plays in sky blue and are nicknamed the Sky Blues and the fans still sing the...

You suggestion is a bit daft to be honest. ;) This would be a new club formed out of the ashes of the old club, so a direct and tangible link to the original club and that is entirely different to a club that is already in existence and has existed independently for over 70 years. Which other...

Course not. Sphinx are an entirely different club. they were formed in 1946. But if a daft analogy that, Nick. :) Would love to hear of other clubs that went bust and reformed and how their fans felt and feel about their new club and if they still feel it is the same club. Maybe I'm wrong...

You are both right though, Nick. Officially, of course it wouldn't be Coventry City FC, but it's all about fan perception too and if CCFC went bust and we started a new club formed from the ashes of the old club it would most definitely still be Coventry City to me. And my guess is to many...

Yeah, but players say all sorts of things and can change their minds. There is going to be a season if he carries on where he's going to get pumeled every game and he he risks serious injury. His reactions are going to slow and he's not going to be able to throw so far, or with so much...

I think we ARE close though. If we had one single striker who was taking half the chances we have been creating we'd have won a lot more games and be very close to the top 6, if not in it. I think we are close to being a good side. The failure to take excellent chances has cost us dearly...

We should build there. It will be perfect for all the hospital balls we play.

How odd. Quite baffling that. Do they think he is in a hidden underwater cave with a huge stockpile of deep sea diving equipment or something? And where exactly are they going to search? They have no idea where the plane went down.
