Haven't got time to go through all this so just for my information will this team definitely be up and running next season? Will / is there a website?
FC United started higher up. Wonder if that was due to expected attendances.
<br />Not a criticism by the way. Just wondered the reasoning. I guess you were just told that is where you have to start by the FA. <br />

By the way, please stick at this. Non league football is great regardless how many end up coming to watch you.

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.
Bottom line is though, do you want people to come or not?
If City fans think about it and have the choice of Sphinx or this new club, then I think most will choose Sphinx. Same colours and a name that they can associate with the city of Coventry.
United lacks imagination and holds no historical link with the city of Coventry.
Change the name and I will almost certainly go.
The explanation, though valid, still isn't an argument really is it. To 'unite' the fans.
Do they not think everyone else who is 'United' originally were called that for the same sort of reasons. Hardly unique.
It is a rubbish name it has to be said. One that lacks imagination and spark.
Think a new club should have a name that stands out from the crowd, rather than become just yet another 'United.'
Coventry Godiva FC would suffice. Loads of names with Coventry connections and pointers to history if you look for them.
Not being funny but its not your team to choose the name of it, your not the businessmen, your not pumping the money in... this jase bloke is so if he wants to call it united then let him unless your guna get your hand out your pocket!
It has no link to Coventry, it is derivative, boring and plain.
I hate it and a combination of red and united I feel is going to put a number of people off.
Why do I need to get over the name? If I don't like it, I don't like it.
Nothing concrete but we are proposing to communicate with elite of Coventry unless you know an alternative we should consider.
Hello Phil, Thankyou for the info, any help is useful, yes we do have floodlights.
Hi 3D - It has not come across yet! PhilHello Phil, I have just sent you a PM.

Hello Phil, anything yet.
This whole thing is a nonsense. A few city fans announce on a Coventry City forum that they are start a brand new club (which by pure coincidence coincides with plans to move Coventry City out of the city for 3 years) but then declare this is not an attempt to set up a breakaway club, and not only that the club will have a name nobody likes and play in colours that are not associated with the city or its sporting heritage in any way. What is the point then?
You can only assume the people involved were all drunk down the pub when they came up with this idea. They have missed a trick - because if they announced plans for a club that the people could identify with they would have support and there would already be a campaign building and media interest. As it is, they are just starting a local football club that will attract mums, dads, wives and mates and pretty much nobody else. In which case, why is this being discussed on a CCFC forum?
Could you be anymore negative...I'm glad you were not around when Willie Stanley was thinking about setting up a club all those years ago...if you have nothing constructive to say why do you bother to post? its not harming you is it? if it fails then so be it but if it works so be it! life's too short mate...chill out kidda.
