You said if the majority agree - if its not a poll what did you have in mind. A clipboard in the town centre?
Yes but I wasn't the one suggesting a vote Grendel was and your question was specifically about the mechanics of that vote.
I don't think Grendel has answered you, yet you don't seem to be chasing that up, can't think why?
Do the majority of Cov fans think we should have moved to Northampton?
You will know the answer to that question. Yet the FA did not do a poll. Genius isn't it?
1600 don't mind do they? Sorry 1000 don't, (600 are players wives, family corporate blah blah)
To me you don't need a poll the answer is pretty obvious?
Wow wow wow slow down there how can you imply that the majority of Cov fans are against the move to Northampton - there hasn't been an official vote!! Or has there? Maybe I missed it...was it a majority...a supermajority? Lol...
No.
You're saying it's acceptable on a short term financial level to move out of the town or city. That's odd.
You are assuming that ACL would charge them £100K.
If ACL are getting absolutely nothing at the moment then any income is better than that.
You can see that from the various U21 matches etc that are being played there.
Boro fans may dislike Coventry but the ultimate 'one upmanship' is to actually take over their ground.
ACL would seriously have to blank CCFC for good or groundshare, but this becomes a major decision that would only be made if SISU dare to lay some bricks.

On your rationale then, the new ground in Exhall is perfectly acceptable, being less than a mile from the Coventry boundary. Is that correct?
Don't forget a lot of Coventry fans would also go just to get a football fix. Myself included if in D2 and CCFC have definitely gone.

Or they could use Hinckley's ground, which would be acceptable for League Two and cheaper rent and running costs, marginally nearer to liberty way and more appropriate to the size of their crowds...

Torch 3 miles is different to 33 and if it meant getting FL status why not?
Perhaps they will rent the Ricoh while they upgrade their own ground?
All I know is this bunch of muppets running our club have said they are building their own ground, didn't they torch?
So the Ricoh is open to discussion
Is it different? If so, how many on here said they won't attend CCFC if it's even a few yards outside the Coventry boundary?
It may be open to discussion but would Nuneaton fans be happy with moving out of their town? 3 miles or 33 miles, surely if it's wrong then it wrong regardless of the mileage?
KNIN.
Imagine if they did get promoted, Cov got relegated, Boro temporarily moved to the Ricoh. CCFC would at least play at the Ricoh once next season .
But that is irrelevant anyway really
Why is it? There seems to be stalemate over the Ricoh and if NB move there (though I think that's unlikely) then a new stadium is the only way to go. I agree though, I think the bravado of "I won't go to the new stadium" line is bollocks.
Irrelevant as in I don't think the financial viability is there for SISU to build a new stadium. How do they recoup their money in the long run if they are in debt to the tune of 70-100 million ( depending in which starting point you believe)
But if NB move to the Ricoh then there really will be no choice.

That would be hilarious. Walsgrave hospital would be heaving with people getting their ribs fixed.
And you rocking delusion in your arms in the Caludon Centre. Promotion for Nuneaton is a long way away. But at the moment it is a realistic possibility....as is relegation for Coventry....so you are either deluded or in denial.....or a betting man with bravado! ;-)

I've just checked . Best prices are 40/1 for Nuneaton to be promoted and 25 to 1 for Cov to be relegate . So 1000 / 1 for it to happen in a double . May be worth a couple of quid .
It is unlikely to happen but let's not be dismissive of the possibility (hill83)...but DaleM at those odds I might risk burning a few quid!
How am I being dismissive of the possibility when I've not given an opinion on it either way. I'll repeat myself, I just don't think it would be funny.
Not sure about funny but it would be incredibly ironic if CCFC had to play at the Ricoh as an away team.
"I just don't think it would be funny". Strange as my original reply was to you saying "that would be hilarious" at the possibility?How am I being dismissive of the possibility when I've not given an opinion on it either way. I'll repeat myself, I just don't think it would be funny.
They won't because;
Nuneaton will not be promoted
Coventry will not be relegated
Nuneaton will never play at the Ricoh
