No one would go. Nuneaton should play in Nuneaton and NOT Coventry. Who would want to see a Franchise Team?
Tesco's would need to stock up on white socks if Nuneaton did move into the Ricoh.
Coventry 1- 1 Man Utd and the realisation as a kid that Bryan Robson was just human after all
I think most of them would catch a bus down the road and watching the best team in their league instead to be honest.

I do that all the time. Doesn't make much difference to me though as nothing I write makes much sense.
And nor does, we are moving to <name ground here> or the Club would be wound up if SISU were given the ground. They are groundless (excuse the pun) words tossed around for fun by loads of people on here.
"Most" fans? I would say ALL fans want SISU to go, I don't think anyone wants them to stay. Personally, though unlike a lot of people I back the Club - that's Coventry City - 100% and offer no support, no ground, no excuses to SISU or ACL. That's what does it for me. Your and others continual backing of a joint venture company in preference to the club they support. You do it time and time again.
As I said, CCFC not ACL.
I think Godiva would be upset. Grendel's been having a breakdown over the prospect for the last 2 months.
Also, I feel differently on your other point. If you support CCFC and believe that the owners are massively damaging the club, then of course you are entitled to be opposed to the owners. It doesn't make me support CCFC any less than 100% if I am 100% opposed to SISU. To my logic, anybody backing them is causing damage by legitamatising a regime-I didn't say not going to games, but defending and justifying their actions in an arena such as this. Further, if I believe that ACL are maybe 5% as culpable of damaging the club as SISU are-and indeed think that they have acted reasonably in their negotiations with SISU-being in support of their actions does not in any way diminish the extent to which I am 100% behind CCFC. To imply that backing ACL over SISU makes anyone less of a City fan is plain wrong. If anyone thinks that, then they deserve grief back for defending SISU.
So why so they spend their Saturdays watching Nuneaton rather than going to the Ricoh to watch cov if they are just interested in watching the best team in the local area?
Go an float the idea on their forum and comeback with the results.

That's the point.
I don't agree that if you support CCFC you can't attack SISU. ACL and the council seem at the moment to be providing the only viable plan to remove SISU
The point was missed. It's not about attacking SISU it's about sticking up for ACL more than anyone, including CCFC.
Why didn't you put:
ACL = Good for the Club
CCC = good for the Club
Good for the club whilst they are trying to get rid of SISU.
Long term who knows, depends on the new owners.
Something tells me this wasn't a hypothetical question or a bit of fun. This is an actual proposal - one I fear mights be Dons preferred outcome.
Should the worst come to the worst and CCFC fail to exist, I would guess most City fans would either give up on football completely, become a nuetral, start following (I use that word deliberately as there are no replacements in football) their second team more closely, of which most people have and may well be Nuneaton (in my case the mighty Burton Albion) or find a new hobby. I would imagine that most Nuneaton fans are so because they're proud of their little club who do quite well and have built quite a decent club and there'd be an uproar even more malicious than our current disgruntled petition at the very prospect of the big City next door trying to steal their team.
Its just plain arrogance to suggest that Coventry deserves a football team more than Nuneaton, which is primarily what you're saying.
Why are they good for the club now then? At this moment in time. What are they doing that is benefiting Coventry City.
And before you say it, I know SISU aren't doing anything to benefit us either, but that's not the question. We know that. I'm trying to get it clear in my mind why so many people on here defend ACL to the hilt. Even in trying to say how well they would do if CCFC did leave.
I am trying to figure out what benefit CCFC get from ACL.
At the moment though we have very little money coming in (can you buy a season ticket yet?) and it appears no official firm decision on where we're going to be playing yet or who owns the club (i.e. golden share), administrator or Holdings. A transfer embargo and no end in sight yet to the administration, so FFP is currently only one of a few big worries that we have.Also, Whelan did not have to contend with FFP.
Doesn't matter how many squillions Haskell has if the revenue doesn't allow financing of a competitive and successful squad.
Trying to get rid rid of SISU. No one else can.
OK. But they chose SISU in the first place, didn't they?
Also, they have said they would never sell to SISU, which doesn't help the club either. And who's to say they won't make a similar error of judgement in the future?

Because we don't own the ground it was up to the ACL/CCC monster to decide who their 'preferred' bidder was.

When the Glazers took over Man U lifelong supporters understood that their club was not their club so formed FC United why are we any different? Its not CCFC versus anybody its SISU you can want the club to carry on but ultimately if SISU decide that its better for them to liqudate the club you me or anybody else will not be able to do anything about it."And it's ACL
A-C-L
They're by far the greatest joint venture company consisting of Coventry City Council and the Alan Edward Higgs Charity
the world has ever seen"
CCFC not ACL
CCFC not SISU:wave:
Because at the moment they don't have the option to watch their team at the Ricoh owned by a millionaire

Ironically, FC United play in Bury not in the city of Manchester, and while they get 1800 fans Manu continue to get 70k+ and a are global brand...there wasn't swaves of supporters jumping ship to get on the fc united bandwagon.
Because you now have a city with a population of 311k with no football club.
For them it is a no brainer unless they are happy in the Blue square for ever.
