No. Next question?
I hate the echo. Never wanted to leave highfield road. The echo is just that, an echo. We need a 15k stadium with a view to extend if ever that was required.The players appear to hate playing at the stadium, the atmosphere is awful given the fact that it is normally 70 per cent empty and it is an albatross around the club's neck financially. Perhaps time to play elsewhere (not sure where though, possibly a groundshare with Northampton?) until we can get out of this division and then see if ACL will have us back once we return to the Championship.

The biggest issue for me isn't the ground, it's that as a big club we are expected to win at home. Sides put men behind the ball, time-waste and set up to counter attack us and exploit our weakness at set pieces and it works like a dream-the longer a game goes by without us in the lead, the more the fans get on the players backs, we lose cohesion, commit men forwards leaving space, and the sucker-punch gets us time after bloody time.
Away from home, there is more onus on the opposition to attack and we have the quality to exploit the significantly greater space in their defence-and don't need to commit our men forwards so much leading to exposure (notably the full-backs).
It has absolutely nothing to do with us not owning the ground.
Or the players not being able to see each other because of the seats :facepalm:
I think most fans do not likevthe ricoh.Could we not come to some arrangement where we return to the Ricoh if we get promoted to the Championship? One other factor is that teams raise there game when they come to the Ricoh as it is clearly the best stadium in League One. A bit like opposition teams always used to win
against England in Test matches at Lords as it
inspired the opposition. We need a fortress notcathedral.
Field ,really?I like it better than Nene Park or a field somewhere in Warwickshire...
Why is it not worth debating? At the moment the Ricoh is undoubtedly negatively impacting on our fortunes on and off the pitch. In an ideal world it would be a theatre of football - it is a fine stadium which would grace the Premiership - but does it really suit our club's needs and has it not become a hindrance?
yes. but be careful what you wish for. SISU are reportedly planning alternative venues to play in but are not in coventry. if they want anywhere then why would brandon stadium not be an option?
No. Next question?
It's worth considering moving away the Ricoh is a burden to us we have to remember we are not the club we were or ever will be again . We appear to have found our level . So lets get a smaller ground to match

It would take years to obtain planning permission and then to physically build. It's a total nonsense suggestion.
