Football League Holding Up Survey Results By Covsupport News Service Updated Saturday, 6th July 2013 Views: 246 Coventry City RSS Feed Football League's Fault Say City According to Coventry City's Ticketing Manager Dan Walker, the Football League are now to blame as to...

Missus went to bed hours ago. She pulled a calf muscle while practising the shot put with bowling balls in the back garden

I've got an even better idea. We all drive down to Northampton in a fleet, an hour and a half before the first home game and when we get there we do a u turn and come straight back the way we came, with City flags and scarves all draped out of windows, passing the bewildered City fans coming...

Andy Murray's through to the Wimbledon final, Echo and the Bunnymen will just be finishing off their set at the Godiva and I'm off to bed. Night.

It is blind optimism. Despite what Pressley will say, you have to think the morale in the camp will not be high with all the off field nonsense going on. I wish all the players had the bottle to all ask to go on the transfer list. Think that would have the desired effect. Not holding my...

I think the FL will say 3 years and then when the 3 years are up and no ground is ready they will merely extend the deadline and do so ad infinitum. There'll be the usual excuses and special dispensation will be allowed. My estimation is that it will be 5 years at least.

Will CCFC be able to dictate how many away fans can be allocated though? Surely the 1,200 is down to Northampton. Can't the City ask for a smaller away contingency if need be? Only problem I could see is how it is all sectioned off I would have thought.

Thing that also gets me is this assumption therefore that we are going to do well. That people will come crawling back when we start doing well. The way things are set up (smaller ground, less fans, disenfranchised fans etc.) points to me that we will do anything but well. We make midtable...

Been a few posts on both here and GMK saying that people will come crawling back to the club and to Northampton if we are doing really well. Well, I'd like to turn that on its head and ask if people think crowds will start dwindling away if we start doing really badly? All this bravado about...

I think you mean 'welcome to the shite.'

I wonder why no-one has thought of this before? :thinking about:

I love the Ricoh too. Really annoys me when people come on here and talk about us fans 'suddenly' now liking the Rioch. I've always loved the ground. Am very proud of it and everyone who comes to visit such as ex players, all say what a fine stadium it is.

What people do need to understand is that the likelihood of it only being 3 years away is a wildly optimistic estimate at best. Quite possibly it could easily be 5-7 years. There is design, planning, objection, building etc. etc. etc. This is one thing that worries me most of all. If it is 3...

But if you wait until CCFC are no more then surely you're too late. I can see the desire to start a new club now. Then, if CCFC fals into new ownership the two entities can merge. The whole point of the new club would be that they are Coventry City supporters.

Well thanks for letting us know. Aren't your lot pee'd off? I know I would be.

And so we then come back to the notion of Cov Sphinx coming over and playing at the Ricoh. They are higher up the pyramid. It would be Sphinx though and not a new phoenix club and we would all have to accept that.

I wonder what Nuneaton fans would think of this? :thinking about:

They are. Wouldn't put it past our owners at all in at least trying to move us elsewhere.

Exactly. Who exactly is hurting the club the most? Owners that take the club away from its fans is the answer. We have a big game against Wolves if we were doing well and we'd get 20,000 easy at the Ricoh. This season it can only be 7,600 max. Which genius came up with that? :thinking about:

I don't quite agree. I think it will feel in some ways like it is not still our club, but it still will be our club. I think that feeling would wane over the years though and if we were at Northampton 4 years down the line I can well see any embers of loyalty dying away. For me I will tune...
