    Seconded!!! The man was a genius and a top bloke too by all accounts.

    Investment rumour.

    Something akin to ... 'I've heard the new ground location might be at Baginton ...... yeah, fook Wasps?'

    Investment rumour.

    Somewhere in the town would obviously be perfect, but that's never going to happen. I wouldn't be against Baginton personally, but it is not surrounded by housing in the close proximity is it, whereas, the Ricoh very much is. In one direction north (towards Nuneaton), next to nothing, but to...

    You'd be surprised how many do walk, Torch. A lot from Longford, Foleshill and Alderman's Green way and I see a fair few heading from Radford when I walk up myself too.

    Investment rumour.

    Yep, very fair post. A lot of the criticism of the Ricoh has been about it's location and lack of pubs surrounding the place and it being rather cold and soulless just stuck out with not a lot surrounding it apart from the Arena Park. This location mooted would be much, much worse from that...

    Investment rumour.

    I thought they were going to include a pedestrian walkway at Tollbar. There are indeed though a lot more people able to walk to the Ricoh than there could ever be at Baginton. I regularly walk to the Ricoh and I am just off the Radford Road. Takes me 25 mins. The Ricoh is very walkable from...

    trivial things that are wonderful

    The sound of waves gently brushing against the shore. The sound of Christmas carols being played by a brass band. Church bells. A view of countryside from a hill.

    New kit announced in the coming days

    Are you suggesting we need to look at Tim Fisher's car to see if there are massive dents on the bumper and bonnet?

    You buy the stadium and then go up to the rightful owner and say 'Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a footballing arena!'

    Investment rumour.

    'Soon be some news' and 'be done with the London rugby club' are years and years apart, you do know that don't you?

    Investment rumour.

    Yep. No-one can moan about the parking round the Ricoh. There's shed loads of spaces.

    Investment rumour.

    Yes, I agree. But they will be perceived as being the biggest sporting side in Coventry to the outside world. The only to change that is for City to get bigger crowds and have success themselves.

    Investment rumour.

    Hmm, well on the Wasps point, while we stay at the Ricoh we need to totally outsell Wasps on the attendances front. it puts us in a much stronger position if we are getting 13,000 - 15,000, while they are only get 5,00 - 6,000. We need to be the major sporting team in this city and remain so...
