Alternative grounds to the Ricoh (1 Viewer)

[shy_tall_knight]

If we are homeless come May 2018, what are the alternatives, crowds weren't prepared to travel out of the city so a big ground is not required
Sixfields - I think last weeks activities will have put an end to that, won't be able to afford the £400k rent
BPA - I doubt the rugby club would want us even on a short term basis but money talks
Nuneaton - Liberty way can hold just under 4,000 Nuneaton being part of Warwickshire may be more acceptable to certain fans

It's depressing even thinking about it. I've got no idea where we will end up.

Wembley, you plum!!!!

....won't go if its outside the city boundary, unless of course, its while a new swanky 20,000 seater is being built within the city. I guess Nuneaton would be the best of a bad thing.

 

[Gosford Green]

Those that are still bothered about watching Coventry City make the most of next season.

St Andrews.

 

[sylus]

Holbrooks park..

Sixfields....:emoji_sunglasses:

Not a nice thought but if we get back to back relegations we could be non league at that point. The Butts becomes a viable option there. Wouldn't take much to bring it up to standard.

No good if SISU are still with us though. They stated that they wouldn't work with SISU. Didn't say anything against CCFC at least.

Don't think you can share a ground with a club in the same division which might explain Fishers drive towards relegation

 

[Sky Blue Dal]

Gosford Park?

Two jackets as goal posts

 

[dongonzalos]

Nene park

 

[no_loyalty]

St Andrews.

Are you the same Bob Latchford who posts on the Blues forum, or is that your long lost brother?

Gosford Green, he'd love that. :emoji_thinking:

The pitch would need replacing wouldn't it?

Not me fella.

Will any respectable club act as hosts to pariahs like SISU?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Hinckley united or rugby town would be big enough

 

[rupert_bear]

Nene park

Too far. Think that was the grand plan after Sixfields but the football league vetoed it

 

[pusbccfc]

It will be Nuneaton I think. Sisu will want the BPA but won't get it.

Nuneaton towns ground? No chance, nowhere near meets FL regulations as an existing FL member any ground has to be a minimum of 5k capacity with 2k seating.

Bedworth Oval holds 3000 and you can get the bus there.

Or Hearsall Common, just clear the travellers off it first.

It hasn't been used in years either I think so would most likely need some investment to make it usable. SISU don't do investment so that rules it out.

Which would rule out Butlin Rd in Rugby to.

While I agree, two points:

1) We may not be in the league come 2018/19
2) Like the FA/FL give a shit about their rules. They can make an exception if they want.

They would get around it. Possibly add temporary seating.

Northampton did. It was their chairman that is dodgy

They are under new ownership, the new owners do not want anything to do with us.

I think we should get our heads around there is nowhere to go. I believe thomk sisu and Fisher will be as toxic to deal with and I can't see any local football club interested, police come into it too, can they Police it adequately every fortnight.

I know I am sounding like Nick and the whistle on this but in 12 months time we will be fucked. It will make relegation to L2 the least of our worries.

The easier, and cheaper, way to achieve that would have been to persevere with Venus in charge
