I'm sure if the Nuneaton fans had the same principles as CCFC fans they would resist any move. They're called Nuneaton Town for a reason, and worst still, you're proposing they move permanently and I'm assuming, changing their name as well, I don't think any Nuneaton fan would want that.
Why 30k? We only get 10k for home games! Also, you're assuming it's Nene Park, well, what if it's St Andrews (a more realistic option) where it's a similar sized ground (albeit a shit-hole) and down the road really, yet most CCFC fans are well against that? Again, skewed principles.
P.S. what has my education got anything to do with it?[/
30k as you try and ask as many as you can
St Andrews is still approximately 22 miles down the road and not an improvement in stadium for us like it would be a massive improvement for Nuneaton.
Your eduction means you should be able to work out that logically the majority of Nuneaton fans would jump at the chance. Of ownership by a multimillionaire aiming to take them to the championship.
The name could be a hybrid.
In reality no one would watch Nuneaton at the Ricoh -- it's stupid.
Imagine if SISU were not bluffing about going to Northampton.
Imagine if their plan was to go there on a month by month contract. Hoping that it forces the council to do business with them to bring the football team back to Coventry.
If this happened and the council then allowed one of our local teams say Nuneaton to come in at a dirty cheap rent that rises with promotions and decreases with relegations.
Someone like Haskell buys Nuneaton and what he wants in the Ricoh and sets about taking Nuneaton up the leagues.
Would you travel to Northampton to watch SISU's Coventry City in League one
Or
Would you travel to the Ricoh to watch probably the strongest side in the Blue square. .....

You mean change he name to something like......Nunony Coventrate?
What kit would they wear? A black and white all in 1 with a veil and a crucifix!
Taylor big difference ask 30,000 cov fans if they want to play 40 odd miles away in a smaller stadium under SISU. Most would say no?
Ask 1000 Nuneaton fans would they move a couple of miles down the road to one of the most modern stadiums in thd country and be owned by a multimillionaire.
You go to school I think you maybe able to guess what most would say.
So no not really that hypocritical
Coventry nuns
I imagine Nuneaton fans will want the club to stay in Nuneaton not move to the Ricoh to have 1000 fans sitting in one tiny corner of Ricoh.
funny, cause we wanna stay in cov and not leave to the Ricoh to have 1000 fans sitting in one tiny corner.
Yes, of course, we all want to stay in Coventry.
Don wouldn't. If there was a suitable stadium down the road he wouldn't be bothered -would be happy to change the name as well.
To SISU FC in Northampton you mean?
Everything is relative.
Would you go with Coveaton or Nunoventry ?

Its just plain arrogance to suggest that Coventry deserves a football team more than Nuneaton, which is primarily what you're saying.
Or they still deserve to have a football team playing two miles down the road in a fantastic stadium owned by a multimillionaire. I am sure we could ask them first which they fancy?
Button Albion? What are your links there?

What would you prefer, since you haven't said explicitly one way or the other, only imply things, as usual.
Since I support Coventry City and that's where my loyalties lie, that's who I'll watch, again, you're assuming we're going to be playing in Northampton, if anything, it'll be Brum at worst. I wouldn't support a franchise football team that is little and insignificant like Nuneaton, especially while CCFC are temporarily moved.
I don't think Nuneaton fans would jump at the chance to be franchised out, again, you're assuming a millionaire would take over, why? Nuneaton are BSP lower mid table/relegation fodder and some of their top performers are CCFC kids! Also, they don't have good prospects too little support base since it is only a 'town'. Who said that this millionaire would be able to take them up the leagues? It costs a lot of money over a prolonged period and he'd/she'd would probably end up screwing that club over, like Perter Reid for CCFC or more recently, SISU for CCFC, they promised Premiership football, we're in L1.
I can't believe anyone, including myself, dignified this thread with a response - possibly the most stupid thread since I've joined.
Sometimes to fight stupid people you have to think like stupid people.
And what a great job you're doing!!

To be fair an awful lot of people have been in support of a club uprooting and moving far away from their home-town.
Northampton Rugby Club moving to the Ricoh one mooted quite often.
As long as ACL are supported by some sort of club, the "moral" imperative for a club staying within it's boundaries seems to disappear.
ACL hasn't been mentioned?
Not here, but in previous discussions on how well ACL will do without the club, with particular mention given to Northampton Rugby Club replacing us.
