I brought this suggestion up weeks ago - I was shot down in flames!
I would love to see us back in Cov, but not sharing a ground with a Rugby Club, the team are playing great passing football, but this does need a good flat pitch. Look what happened to us when the pitches were at there worst last season.
Its a bit tongue in cheek I must admit. But realistically if the plan is for 5 years and attendances never look likely to rise it could be an option.
I am already on the ground in pieces but still expecting a few cruise missiles to come in
I agree, I think other options closer to Coventry should be seriously considered if we are going to be without a stadium for 5 years
If its any longer the football league will probably kick us outwho says it will be just 5 years ?
Unexpected option due to poor attendances at Sixfields.
Plenty big enough and he could charge full price and guarantee 4000 every game.
Temporary stands ?
£23 x 4000 = £92,000 Butts
£13 x 2000 = £26,000 Sixfields
£13 x 6000 = £78,000 Sixfields Full (Hyperthetical)
Other options
- Bedworth Oval 3000
- Higgs 1500 (standing only) - Post Xmas option.
- Memorial Park - 2000+
- Ricoh Arena 32000 - Post SISU Option

The only problem is that ground is not up to league standards, and have you seen the state of that pitch
A few temporary stands it seems will do the trick
So I'm guessing with the current entertainment on show, Cov move back to Cov and 10-12,000 will wont to watch, so 4000 tickets up to 12,000 people wanting one, can you suggest how that works?

Think we've been here before - the Butts as it is couldn't handle the crowds, two turnstiles and one stand to start off with.
I don't think the RFC would be overly keen, the FL certainly wouldn't like it, and the pitch isn't great and gets horrid in winter. (Although I reckon it's better now than when it was used as a footy pitch, in my playing days!).
Other than that, I'd love the idea of having a ground back near the centre of town. If TF can build our new one near, say, Ikea he might even win me over.
Now I come to think of it, isn't there a bit of scrap ground near Cov Uni - sort of old limestone ruins, you know where I mean. I think there was something there but it got bombed during the war. Now there's a bit of land that's just crying out for a footy stadium.
