Hinckley will return in September albeit in a lower league.
Have u not heard of a term..whats it called..err it's on the tip of my tongue...Oh Wait ..I've got it .."Groundsharing"
And SISU would actually take some credit for putting money into a sunken wreck that is Hinckley ..thus painting them as Knights in shiny armour.
Don't get me wrong ...I'm not advocating this is good..I'm just playing it out in my head!
No heard of groundsharing.
You suggest that the FL might sanction the move to Hinckley if the ground was developed.....who would do this? You're surely not suggesting that ccfc should invest in developing a ground they don't own, for a temporary groundshare?

They buy the ground...redevelop it & rent it out cheaply to Hinckley to share it.
Dreadful thought but would anything surprise you with this lot?

Can't see it happening, Hinckley will have to start in the midland combination, so won't afford much rent.
It will also be more expensive to renovate a stadium, as you'll have to knock the stand's down to rebuild.
It's also 15 miles from Coventry city centre.

Could this be an option?
Positives
Already a ground in place which is plenty big enough to support our current fan base.
Closer than Northampton and 11k from Ricoh.
CCFC would own a ground a lot quicker and cheaper than buying land and looking for planning permission.
Any increase in capacity could be carried out at end of each season depending on crowd sizes and success on pitch
Club an ground under CCFC ownership.
Gives SISU a chance of selling up.
Negatives
Ground may not be up to league standard (but not a huge problem)
Fans may still stay away as not in Coventry (more may attend as closer than Northampton)
Could mean name change as doubt if we could be called Coventry City if not located in City of Coventry
FL may say no anyway.
Thoughts?
SISU had there head up their arses and assumed that the gate would only lose 2/3k thus they stated that the stadium must hold at least 7k which knocked out Hinkley as an option where as in real terms it would be ideal for todayThe football league gave the club a list of grounds they would accept for a groundshare, my guess Is that the Hinckley United ground wasn't in the list.

I'm not sure that's right Warwick.
Football league members must have grounds with a capacity of a min of 5k, Hinckley's ground is 4300.
Only new members promoted into league 2 can have lower - 4k but with a capacity to reach 5k, and those changes must be made by May in their first season .
