If their parents choose not to take the kid, it's because they choose not to go and THAT is what prevented the kid watching city.

And it's fair to say SOME of those parents may go if back in cov. So this move is impacting some families

Not blaming sisu. Just shouldnt gloss over that this isn't a good thing for many many fans

Ridiculous

You just admitted its an inconvenience. So there r gonna be kids out there who would like to go but maybe their parents or friends parents dont go anymore

Wether u think the adults are wrong or not you can't say some young fans wont miss out

Also lets not fuking have st donation threads same time as saying traveling to another city to watch games is only a minor inconvience. Clearly money and job working hours etc are not an issue to watch cov so fuck the donation thread too!

It's down to people to make their own decisions. St Andrews is more time consuming and transport costs factor in. Can't have a go at people for not going or make out like they let tiny problem stop them from going. This situation makes it harder for many than if still at ricoh

Warwick plans are not real. More SISU rubbish. Sec of state has called in the proposed access road off the A46 that this stadium would need, Poor old SISU, their plans would be scuppered by this. They’re still after the Ricoh. CCFC are collateral damage.

What's the grand plan then? If CCFC fall by the wayside as well as Wasps. There is a delapidated stadium declining in value with no tenants and an exhibition hall suitable for only pretty small events.

It's the same as Sixfields isn't it, BRING US HOME! Thousands fucked off after the first game and didn't bother anyway.

Why do people have to be extreme when discussing a factual point that getting to a ground 20 miles away is not impossible but an inconvenience..

Depends where my job is, and what time it finishes.

One of the two grounds is a hassle, but doable if I want to (inconvenience) the other is not doable (not possible).

It's almost like if you don't jump through 72 hoops, you shouldn't be there anyway which I find very bizarre.

Surely we all want more fans to turn up, be they fairweather or not? more fans = better atmosphere = more cash = more good feeling = longer term fans = longer term success.

I was there at Yeovil I think it was when saw huge drop off

Still bigger crowds thab st airfields tho? 4k more or so. That's 4000 fans that wouldn't be watching cov if at sixfields.

Stadium moves have an impact. Can't deny that

Gutted as I genuinely thought we would be back. But I'll be there at St Andrews like last yeat cheering on our amazing Skyblue Boys in the Championship.

We need to move on and focus on this new stadium, we need to see concrete movement, more than just statements, we need to see real progress this season as my fear is in 12 months time we will have had 2 seasons away from Coventry and heard or seen nothing else regarding the new stadium.

Have absolutely no time for the council or wasps or the ricoh anymore, this whole fiasco has just tainted my view on it from when I first went.

Frustrating more than anything. But we need to back Mark Robins and the players even more at St Andrew's this season.

My point as I'm sure people are already aware, is aimed at supporters who would normally go to the football but are trying to make out the 6 pound bus fare return is just a stretch too far

I know what u r saying. U r motivated to support city and fu k wasps/council. I get it and I like it

But i will not agree that this move doesnt impact fans. And that it weeds out the bad fans etc.

So if all true City fans just get over themselves, pack St Andrew's every week, what incentive is there for SISU to build a new ground in Coventry? Does Coventry even need a football club?

Says the bloke who was caught out making things up for the council last week. It's always the ones like that who give it the "Sisu agent" line.
