Just as a point of clarity, I was born in Cov and lived there till I was 6. Still have family in the city. So whilst I cannot properly claim to be Cov Bred and I am certainly Cov Born and feel a strong attachment to the city.

That would be nice but i think we may have to wait a good while longer to get it

Agree with one caveat, SISU should publicly make a sensible offer for it.

But they won't and a ground outside of the city is totally unacceptable therefore the only logical course is to return to the Ricoh which is exactly what will happen.

Fair enough, I did say i had no knowledge/interest in them. My point still stands though, the rights or wrongs of their move/situation are irrelevant. The only situation that counts is our own and the rights and wrongs of our decision.

Why? Because you can't think of a proper defence of your position?

Where do you suggest this magical "just a few yards over the border" site is? What realistic sites are there? Cos no Council will agree to permission on a greenfield site for a new stadium.

Haven't i answered this once already? 20 yards or 20 miles makes no difference, its either in Coventry or its not. BUT as we both know that situation would never arise because if a stadium were to be built outside of the city boundary it would not be 20 yards, it would be in a neighbouring...

I fail to see why we are even talking about the Blaze. It's irrelevant to our situation. What other clubs/teams/sports do should not influence what we do. As an aside, i see that the Blaze are now in financial trouble again (according to Wiki anyway, i dont claim to know anything about them...

Because as I have repeatedly stated, it would not be the club we have grown up with. That club would be gone and a facsimile would be there in its place

Case in point, Wimbledon ceased to be Wimbledon when they upped sticks to MK.

Not at all, thats the whole point of having a boundary! doesnt matter if its 20 yards or 20 miles, same difference

Thats a moot point because if is built outside the city then it wont be 20 yards over a boundary will it. it would be in a neigbouring town such as Hinckley, Nuneaton, Rugby etc etc. But assuming for a second that it was just over the boundary, even a step over the boundary, that would be it...

For some fans perhaps but not all. Despite living over a 100 miles away i went to a large number of home games every season both at the Ricoh and HR.

Spot on AND as i posted earlier the city ground was originally in the city boundary anyway

I won't! This is what ive been saying throughout this thread and the point is lots of other people won't go either!

it does in my book.

Thats a fairly big assumption and one that couldnt be proved until it actually happened. On the other side of the coin I live in Derbyshire (ex-of Manchester, hence the user name) but will not go to a home game unless its in Coventry.

They are but entirely wrongly in my view and they have lost some of their fan base as a result.
