I think you'll find Coventry Sphinx aren't a rival, they still play in sky blue though.

Yes, course we realise that. If you are creating something new though then don't call it 'United.' I really think if you come up with a new name you will have a much better following. United just is so overused and any City fans who do go will not be chanting 'United' I feel.

Yep. The fans have spoken. It's not about being a rival, it's about City fans feeling some sense of identity.

I'm more annoyed with the name than the colours. The colours aren't quite so important, but if they had blue then City fans could go up in their sky blue.

Yep and like I say, it could be just a stop gap. I will never stop supporting CCFC. It's just that I won't be attending matches for the next 3 years.

Why? You can still support CCFC. It's not an either or. If I went up, I would go but have the radio tuned in to CWR so I could listen to the City game at the same time. This wouldn't mean you have to stop supporting the City. And for many, if and when CCFC came back to Coventry they could...

It would put me right off going and it also breaks the link. You would surely want City supporters who are disillusioned with CCFC to go up. If so, what better way than to have some link with that identity.

http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Coventry_City/Coventry_City.htm Coventry is blue, blue, blue!! And mostly sky blue too. And by being blue you would have fans going up who would be able to wear their sky blue colours, scarves and shirts too.

Totally agree with the last two points. United is just not going to be popular at all and why red? It should at least incorporate some sky blue or blue in it.

Yes, agree.

I'll do a deal with you. Tell them to change the name and I will go! ;)

Nope. These missing 3 surprised me a little too to be honest.

Why not! Coventry Sporting, Coventry Singers, or simply call themselves Sky Blue FC.

I would be interested. But as I say, I loathe the name. It conjures up nothing fresh or innovative.

Can't see any harm in City fans going to watch while the Sky Blues are in Walsall for the next 3 years.

Crap name. Needs to be Coventry Phoenix or something entirely new. Maybe even go back to Singers. I'm only nitpicking here of course, but it has to be something other than Coventry United. Can't see City fans chanting 'United, United.' Come up with a new name. New identity. Then they might be...

1. Football 2. Tennis 3. Cricket 4. Baseball 5. 6. Basketball 7. 8. Golf 9. Rugby 10. Just 3 to get.

Yep. Tennis and golf in there.

Just looked for 10 most popular. Three sources all came up with the same list, but they didn't quantify the criteria. Fishing isn't in there. Am guessing they mean in terms of participation rather than audience figures.

1. Football - YES 2. Cricket - YES 3. Rugby Union - YES, but not 3rd. 4. Ice Hockey - No 5. Rugby League - No. 6. Cycling - No. 7. American Football - No. 8. Baseball - YES. Not 8th though. 9. Basketball - YES. Not 9th though. 10. Lacrosse - No.
