Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere. Not sure where it has come from. Clearly been fed a line from somewhere though

Call me a sceptic but this reads as if the club has got in touch with the Mirror to place this story.

PR tactics once again I feel.

It's an odd one. Very detail light and out of the blue.

Not really click bait, it pretty much tells you all you need to know in the link.

Isn't the Mirror part of the same group as the CT? Although if they'd been fed something for publication you'd have thought it would have hit the Telegraph first.

Not really how it works. I think what's probably happened is someone has given a journalist an 'exclusive'.

Just because Reach PLC owns numerous media outlets doesn't mean they share all the same stories.

Also, the fact that the story has been published by the Mirror rather than in the CT also makes me think it's very likely that this is a placed story - probably by someone connected to the club - and I feel the content of the article reflects that.

Yep very strange, especially as there is no mention on the Cov telegraph site and would have thought they'd be all over this.
Fingers crossed there is something in it though

Ahh, I may have missed it. There is so much shite on that site, it's hard to find anything you actually might want to look at

It would be great to not be able to not go to the Ricoh instead of not being able to go to Brum

It’s from James Nursey who broke it we would be playing at St.Andrews again:

Redirect Notice

Also did this interview with Boddy

Coventry City CEO David Boddy hits out after club forced to quit Ricoh Arena

EXCLUSIVE: David Boddy has been left furious after Coventry have been forced to leave the Ricoh Arena
www.mirror.co.uk

I would agree that it seems the club is feeding him information

I don't get what would be init for the club to drip this info out if it isn't happening. Only ends up with pissed off fans if it doesn't happen.

We cannot play at St Andrews for another 4 or 5 years it will cripple the club and fanbase and I say this as not the greatest fan of the Ricoh

Staying at St Andrews for 5 more years won't work......we need to get back to the Ricoh

If we can build our own stadium whilst playing at the Ricoh then even better but I doubt it will happen

That's my take, and I hate the Ricoh.
However, let's hope there's something in this.

They'll be a couple of thousand sat in silence miles apart from each other at wasps games, and that's after everyone's been vaccinated.

Here you go. Don't remember him mentioning anything major about Wasps. It wasn't really an in depth grilling, as Gilbert said at one point it was supposed to be light. From memory, and I had it on in the background at work so might have missed something, just said about Warwick and that Sepalla was personally overseeing it. Was some interesting stuff about the day to day and transfers.

Even if you assume they are serious about the new stadium, have the land and have the funding you could still easily be looking at 5 - 10 years before a game was played there.

In any scenario, as its the only suitable stadium, we need to be at the Ricoh at some point in the not too distant future. 5 years plus at the St Andrews will be a nightmare, both for us as supporters and financially.

I dont like the ricoh, but we need to be in cov playing infront of 15-25000 fans in the championship

It's the only thing missing from what's generally a good time in the clubs recent history
