Might be willing to travel if we have firm plan in place for a new stadium.
However if SISU were to build a new stadium then we would just have a different landlord where they could then squeeze our balls.

Yes they are. The new Windmill is in harbury which if you know it is just outside Leamington. The new ground is in Europa way which is where all the car dealers are between Leamington and the M40.

It has a certain inevitability about it. A stadium without a team, a team without a stadium.

Whats the thinking behind that? There's loads of room to expand where they are currently isn't there?

Not sure really. If there is a big crowd I know that they have problems regarding parking around the stadium etc which causes tailbacks on the road as there is only one road in/out if you are familiar with it?

Don't matter. What does matter is how they package the club when they come to sell up. Who would buy a club (especially us) without a stadium?

The problem with any new gtoundshare is I think from an EFL prospective it will have to come with specific new build proposals regards building a new ground in Coventry and those proposals will have to be a bit more than two sides of A4 paper. My gut tells me EFL would sanction a move on a very strict time basis.

It’s entirely up to you (of course) but I don’t understand the rationale of only going to away games. Fair play, youre willing to travel all over the country to watch city - which is more than I do - and yet won’t consider travelling 30 miles down the road. I’m sorry, I don’t get it.

If that were true then they wouldn’t allow us to move again. Unless something will be announced in 3 weeks

That doesn't seem the best location, right next to a luxary hotel and loads of new housing!

They’ve probably got something else planned which people would object to. Easy thing to do is give them the option of a pikey site or something else and they’ll take the something else every time.

So would everyone but we have no ground and no ability to influence a landlord who wants us out and a council that is deliberately obstructive

True. I accept that we all want it.

No fan making the choice not to go or going is causing the death of our club. It’s bejng done by Sisu and our own council and wasps. We are the victims not the cause
