Do SISU realise this will be them in a few years if they build outside of Coventry?
the real question is do they care?
The answer is "no"
Editsisu go home
Personally I want my football team that represents my city to be governed by the elected officials that also represent that city and I can vote for/against.
What have they done that you consider bullying? Why do you expect another council to be more favourable towards a Coventry team? Don't just throw vague emotive words around, if you're truly sick of the rhetoric do something to help others understand your point of view.
Sort of missing the point there mate (I assumed you might know about ACL/SISU already because it's all anyone's been talking about on here for the past year).
You did give me a great example for my argument though;
Key word in your comment was this:

So what if it's not? What if the bloke next to you wants it governed by someone from Zimbabwe? What if the bloke next to him wants an American Tycoon? What if the bloke next to him doesn't want the club in Coundon he wants it in Wyken? Does a club this big have to change everything for you personally to support it?
Stick with the issues mate, don't create new ones. There needs to be a line drawn where people stop giving excuses to not support this team.
Went to the New York stadium today, if that is a blue print of what we are getting or something similar then personally they can stick it.
what a horrible ground 60% of seats in the rain Formica walls and meccarno roof whole place looks unfinished, if that is what we aspire to then sorry not for me.
Sad that despite the forth coming attempts to make the club self-sustainable by building a new stadium owned by the infrastructure of the club, as near to Coventry as possible without ACL/council bullying the owners, people still look likely to give excuses for why they won't go to games if/when it's built. Regardless of the fact SISU are terrible owners, there's a good team of young lads working their arses off out there representing Coventry, and the best manager we've had in decades - so I understand it if people don't want to ground share with Northampton, because I don't either, but once that's dealt with, how many more excuses are people going to keep spewing out for not supporting their club? There's got to be a cut off point where even the biggest SISU hater will have to accept things not entirely on their terms otherwise, sorry, it's just shit support for your club, and makes the whole "Keep Coventry in Coventry" campaign look like a joke. This isn't meant to upset anyone, but I'm getting fed up with people changing (what were originally) important issues to suit their own agenda. Stadium that belongs to Coventry City FC please. As near to Coventry as you can get it please. No Coventry City Council involvement please. I'll be happy with that.

I actually disagree. Granted it is 100% completed but I think it looked great, you can create an atmosphere in there (unlike the Ricoh), and is about the right size for our level of support (with scope to increase it if necessary). I always thought the Ricoh was soullless but with a stadium like that we coukd make it intimidating.
The above comments do not make me a SISU supporter before anyone makes that assumption.

You have your views but I felt it was like a plastic pre fab, it was like it was unfinished , more soulless than Ricoh.
I like the Ricoh ( my own view) but agree it can feel lifeless when only 12k in the place, but what would it be like now with this young and exciting team?

I think the real question is, how far outside of coventry is it?
You may well be but there are still far too many fans saying they won't go even if we return to the Ricoh whilst SISU are still on the scene, so another stadium within the city boundaries won't make a jot of difference. Sadly there are too many fans just looking for excuses not to go.If a new stadium is built within Coventry, I will be first in line to buy a season ticket.

Stadium looked very impressive from the outside but inside was disapointing.
Poor man's Ricoh !!

I'm fully aware of that, but last season we struggled to get 10k for some games....was that for the same single principle...Sorry I couldnt disagree more.. there are many more aching to go but won't because of a fundamental single principle.
