From my extensive research (aka a quick look at Google Maps) I can't really see a potential site for a new stadium anywhere close to the city centre unless something really radical is done and a lot of existing buildings knocked down.

Have they moved Baginton since I lived in Cov? The way some people are going on you'd think it was 100 miles away. There's not that much parking at the Ricoh and getting there on public transport can be a mission. I'm not convinced that the majority of the crowd are walking there either. Its...

The handful of elite teams in the PL tend to be fairly stable so a new manager at Man Utd is a big deal. Not sure you can apply the same logic to L1. There's plenty of managerial changes and plenty of teams who are making wholesale changes to their squad every season. There's no reason not to...

If there's actually anything in this Baginton Airport is not a problem for me. Would add that to Warwick Uni, Ansty Business Park and Broadstreet as potential sites whose location I would consider near enough in Coventry to make no difference. Certainly a lot better option than ending up near...

This sounds like someone just picking out a 'big' club to start a rumour. Why would a billionaire be interested in us, there must be better options.

Apparently Stokes came in ahead of Ali as they lost wickets so quickly Ali was still in the nets and couldn't get ready quick enough! What a shambles. Oh well, only the Aussies next.

30-4 on the first morning of the first test against NZ. Not really going to help silence the calls for KP to be in the side.

Personally I wouldn't trust Lucas with anything! What would be the populations covered by the various councils if we joined up with Warks? I doubt we'd be as dominant a partner as Brum, plus we have things such as the Cov and Warks Chamber, NHS Trust etc already in place so it seems a more...

Not sure why the league would be bothered now. They will only take an interest if we try and move back to Sixfields. As far as I can make out the only thing the league could question at the moment is that we don't have a 10 year agreement at the Ricoh which is supposed to be the minimum but they...

From what I've seen it's an extra layer so CCC would still exist but there would be a Coventry & Warwickshire Council in addition. That council would be responsible for things currently done by government, so they would get a chunk of money for things like transport and economic development...

If we're joining up with anyone surely Warwickshire makes the most sense. When Lucas comes out and says if we don't join Birmingham we'll be ignored isn't she saying she's not very good at her job as she's the one who's supposed to get the best for the city?

So what were we doing wrong when we were in the Championship and getting 20K because we had low revenues then? Can we not compare our accounts to other clubs and see where we were missing out so that the same mistakes aren't repeated? I'm not convinced about the events idea. With a lot of...

Few that spring to mind off the top of my head: naming rights - sure we'll be hearing plenty about this when Wasps cash in shortly. With the sort of wage budget we have anything approaching the Ricoh deal of £1m a year would have a massive impact. f&b - the numbers don't stack up to me, there...

Anytime a player left, especially the kids he used to look after, he would send them a tweet that while not explicitly having a go a Presley didn't need much reading between the lines to work out there had been a major falling out.

We could give it a catchy name like Operation Championship.

Unfortunately italia on this occasion Fisher is being backed up in his assertion that to be successful above our current level with need stadium ownership or at least full revenue access. The 'experts' hauled out by the CT and CWR have said the same as have Wasps who have stated they had to move...

I have no idea, do you? I would suggest that may be largely down to location. For example if a stadium was part of the University complex the type of facility that would generate the most income would be different to somewhere like Broadstreet. Also would need to consider proximity to the Ricoh...

You understand the meaning of the word if don't you? Do you think they're on minimum wage? I've got no problem with anyone in any role, even if they are on a big salary, if they are earning their money. What are Fisher and Waggott doing to earn theirs? So what are they doing? Is Fisher...

How much footfall was there at the gasworks prior to the Ricoh site being built? How many people going to exhibitions, weddings etc just happen to be walking past and pop in to spend money? The need for high footfall surely depends on what you are planning to build?

Not a bad shout Noggin. The technology for manufacturing these type of shirts has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years. Pretty much any local company involved in shirt printing could produce shirts for us that were totally bespoke and of a high quality. You could have the club badge...
