Would indeed be very sad, a team of which Cov can actually be proud. I hadn't realised they were at risk as thought it was only the land up for sale, not the team itself.

A new club would be starting from the very bottom of the league ladder though, its how you keep people interested long enough to build your way into a decent league. Not short of other teams in the Midlands that people can go and watch. Not saying its a bad idea but it has to be planned...

I thought the idea was to build adjacent to the speedway not on top of it? Its been a while since ive been to the speedway but from what I recall its a fairly big patch of land and i've not heard anything about the Bee's relocating elsewhere.

But it doesnt change anthing, the next week SISU FC are back playing at Northampton again and we are doing nothing. It takes the pressure off. If there is no alternative then your average fan who just wants to watch his team play might well go to Sixfields. It plays in to their hands. I have...

A one off event won't do it and wheres the attraction for ACL to allow it if it isn't going to be repeated?

If City do go to play at Sixfields Sphinx could very well find themselves with a sudden influx of new fans.

This is my point, it needs to be a whole raft of things going on, not just a kick about or just the radio. It needs to be a whole day out. Somewhere you can go on a saturday with the whole family and have some fun for little outlay.

If they get their stadium built in the next couple of years then they stand a chance. If not, the crowds will continue to drop and they will fold. Bury have their own financial problems and Gigg Lane is suffering as a result, its not a nice place to go at the moment.

Your probably right, but we now have a situation where he has had to go back to him cap in hand, which given we cant sign anyone new is not ideal.

Maybe so. I just dont think it was wise to exclude any of our senior players whilst embargoed. I dont think he can afford to limit our options in that manner.

Yes but I think it remains to be seen how well it works with Pompey. A lot of the funding has been borrowed from their council and a few wealthy fans. If they don't get success straight away and go back up the leagues they could easily find their crowds dwindling. The Coventry situation is...

FC United are fading fast, a friend of mine played for them in their early days and is still connected with them and the crowds are really dwindling. Still big issues with building their new stadium too. Wimbledon have done well but then their situation was unique, they were the first team in...

not if the club are intending to get a fee for you you dont. Pressley made a statement that he didnt have the right attitude to be a pro-footballer

Sphinx could always offer a fan-share listing scheme, raise investment and become the fan owned club that people seem to want. I just feel that these fan-owned clubs start enthusiastically but then fade as interest drops. People get bored.

He wasnt just told he wasnt wanted though, he was publicly criticized and made to train away from the first team. I dont think he would struggle to get another club either.

Just my opinion but id rather support the Sphinx than a newly created club. Seem to be going about things the right way and with bigger crowds could make the conference in short order and turn at least semi-pro. Once in the conference structure its much easier to build and push on, if the crowds...

Thing is though thats a one off event, you cant get an old boys game going every single week. Perhaps if the supporters team were playing there week in week out it could work. It needs to be sustained for a whole season to make a real statement.

Well i cant argue with that. The club have treated Jordan badly though whichever way you slice it

Yes but anyone living in the Cov area can get the radio feed, if you wanted to play it at the Ricoh all you would need is a public entertainment license, its no different to having the radio on in a pub in Cov.

Absolutely, your right, but none-the-less thats not what Tim said, which was the original question asked.
