    Where do you think the stadium site in Coventry might be?

    Even if there isn't getting a park and ride up and running for matchdays isn't really going to be that hard. Think it would be the ideal solution. Unfortunately I suspect us talking about it on here is the closest we will get.

    Where do you think the stadium site in Coventry might be?

    Is the need for car parking and infrastructure a bit of a red herring? Its not like we had thousands of parking spaces and a motorway right up to HR. How many other grounds do we visit where you have to park in the street or in local businesses car parks. For me the Butts is ideal. The issue of...

    will there be friction

    Can't see why there would be. Mark Venus is in place to deal with footballing things and the new chap has said he's not going to get involved. Suspect he has other things to worry about.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Forgot one other thing I was told. Wasps want to make the stadium cashless, didn't someone try that before ;)

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    If CCC have to pay out to SISU then it means they have been found to have done something wrong. Wouldn't you then have an issue with CCC rather than SISU? Don't think the taxpayer would foot the bill. The council should have insurance for this kind of thing. Even if they don't they should have...

    BBC article: Sky Blues pursuing option of new home within city

    If they have actually been talking to the FL then the only reason I can think of is that we don't have a 10 year deal in place at the Ricoh which is technically against FL regs. Could be that the FL are monitoring the situation regarding a new ground and will only allow that situation to...

    Burton & Walsall

    Its an odd rule and doesn't seem particularly fair. Can't see what purpose it is supposed to have.

    BBC article: Sky Blues pursuing option of new home within city

    We've heard a lot of things over the years, even before SISU turned up so I think most will want a bit more evidence before getting too excited. That said if at some point the FL say yes we have seen the site and it is in the city what the reaction will be. Equally if the club approach the...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    How is it a risk to Wasps? The legal action is against the council. If the council have done nothing wrong there's no issue. If the council have done something wrong then if there is any punishement it will be against them.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    They aren't things that need changing, they are things they are deciding to change as part of a rebranding plan for the statdium. Last I heard the club were saying they were going to talk to Wasps, why would they be talking to them if they were set on moving out at the end of the season? What...

    England Cricket

    Things haven't got much better with the 1 dayers. Terrible start, 14-3 including Root getting a duck. Morgan and Taylor recovered to 147-4 and then all out for 216. Apart from Morgan and Taylor, who put on 133 runs, only 2 partnerships got into double figures. Woakes and Rashid got 19 and...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Only thing I have heard about naming rights is that it is proving a more difficult task than expected. Have also heard Wasps are working on branding the concorse so everything will be yellow / black and Wasps related. They also are planning to refurb Bar 87 to make it more like a rugby club...

    SCG To Meet Chris Anderson

    If you read the minutes you'll see they aren't always at the same place. They've used the Ricoh, Ryton, Cov Uni and more than likley the Squirrel as everything seems to happen there!

    SCG To Meet Chris Anderson

    I think the idea is there's a different person representing each section of supporters. Problem is its been the same people for ages and some people aren't really representative of their group anymore. IMHO they should come up with a list of areas (ie: kids, seniors, long distance, disabled...

    chris Anderson

    Doubt you'd get the council on board but its actually a really good idea. We're constantly told the city centre is dying and there's lots of empty shops. Why not move them all to one part of the city centre and build a city centre stadium. Be great for business on a match day. All the buses go...

    SCG To Meet Chris Anderson

    He might not have had chance to look at this yet but can you ask him about ticketing. Always seems to be people on here reporting problems and huge queues if more than one person wants to buy a ticket.

    Lets help TM find a Replacement for Reda

    Was looking at some of our ex-defenders on wiki to see if there was anyone who might be likely to come back. This gem is on Martin Cranie's page: On 12 August 2009, Portsmouth agreed to sell Cranie to Coventry City for a mars bar and a bag of skittles.
