How would say a non league team play at the ricoh?Rupert, it's clear a lot of fans would take starting again in a lower league just to be free of this madness. It's not great. Hope it doesn't come to that. But a lot have had enough. We just want CCFC playing at the Ricoh. And free of Sisu.

Of course they could so long as ACL were prepared to do a reasonable deal. Cov City Ladies have been able to play there with crowds below 500, I am sure that we would get significantly more even starting from scratch.How would say a non league team play at the ricoh?

Probably would start 4-4-2 and then go 4-3-3 for the last 10 minsHow would say a non league team play at the ricoh?
if the worst happened and we were liquidated and from that a new team from coventry arose and played at the ricoh, would you go and support them?

I think you're over estimating there by at least 2-2.5k.

When Halifax went out of existence I believe they had to apply to the lower leagues until they found a league that would accomodate them. In practice you usually have to go low enough until you find a league in which teams regularly disappear for whatever reasons. They're usually adept at incorporating new members and they often have spaces. With Coventry, I'd guess the level below Conference North (plus or minus a level). That'd mean back to the Football League within 4 years.
Halifax have been my second team for decades so I've seen them a few times along the way. It was gutting at the time to see the club disappear but they rebuilt and they're back to being close to their natural level. It's been not unentertaining playing the likes of Leigh Genesis and Frickley Athletic along the way and winning more than you lose is a nice feeling. Halifax kept their stadium as it's owned by the council and also used by the Rugby League side and they kept their fans. There's also no sense that the FC Halifax Town of today isn't the Halifax Town AFC of the previous 80 years, the fans are the club and the fans are the same.

Who plays at Hampden Park?

Resources from where?Two scenarios
1. Somehow CCFC in its current guise returns to The Ricoh. First game back would be a massive event, a crowd of at least 15,000 and probably a lot more.
2. CCFC is killed by SISU and a Phoenix club plays it's first game at the Ricoh as a new Coventry club representing the city in the city. Doesn't matter what league I know me and my lad would be there as would at least 5000 others. That club would have resources completely outrunning any other team in the division. What player wouldn't want to join that bandwagon, huge support, fantastic stadium, almost unlimited ambition. As with FC United and Wimbledon promotion would be virtually guaranteed. Would also be a lot of fun.

Not from you that's a certaintyResources from where?
Resources from where?
Only if the new club came from the old club completely ceasing to exist. If it was started by a couple of militants before CCFC was all done and dusted then they would be my sworn enemy.
If it was following the liquidation of the club it would be a 2 division drop. Even if it was further the fan base should be big enough to sustain it while it comes back through the league's on the right deal (they keep telling us how they can do it rent free). It's not a barrier really Nick. I would genuinely sooner this happened even if it was just so we could all stand together again. What we have at the moment is a complete and utter mess that divides fans.
Dropping 2 divisions at this point seems a quicker way back than the current path we are on.
