A one hour journey to Northampton from my end. What a joke, was a 20 min journey if that to the ricoh. I for one won't be going to every home game... I do love city but this is beyond me financially. I just am devastated its for 3 years. sisu :jerkit:

About half an hour quicker for me from London. Swings and roundabouts.

3 years I remember Hucks having his picture taken at the gasworks site in 1998, in December 2002 CCC passed a motion to build the stadium and shops, 3 years seems very optomistic

 

[skybluenewman]

Agreed and knowing sisu the funds won't be there half way through building and then where will we be?

 

[sylus]

A 70 mile round trip for a home match..lol.

 

[fernandopartridge]

147 miles compared with 116 miles. Nice number is 147 though.

 

[skybluenewman]

91 mile for me. Easily a hundred quid for a home game for me. No chance!!

 

[Otis]

2 hours return then and from Cov you are looking at a 70 mile round trip every time.

 

[SkyBlueCharlie]

30+minutes by rail, £9.80 return so over £200 a year extra to travel to a second rate stadium that is above to suffer redevelopment and all the disruption that entails. Sorry, no way!

340 mile round trip for me to Ricoh, so does not matter much us moving (distance wise)

But it's still shit n I'm so fucked off -.-

 

[Covcraig@bury]

360 around trip for me, if I was going but I'm not .
Egg chasing for me . At least it's in Coventry .

 

[Sub]

200 mile round trip 3 and a half hours travel which is an extra 80 mile compared to traveling to the ricoh. no chance !!! will go to away games portvale will be my nearst game disgusted at our owners for this situation no thoughts for the fans

 

[Leamington spa sky blue]

80 miles round trip for me so sorry odd match only and away matches
PUBS

I just can't understand how this is financially viable for the club - didn't ACL offer a year of being rent free?

No land or planning permission to build a new ground
Cost of building new ground
Cost of renting another ground
Greatly reduced income as much less support - they will be lucky to average 4000 people in total but suspect it will be closer to 2000 in reality.

What a financially sound decision?!? it just seems to be yet another shot in the head!

Think what must be understood here is not the 'hard core' such as those that occupy forums like this and bleed sky blue but the 10% of the 300,000 or so general public with their families and friends who go every week or most other weeks at home games from around the city of Coventry.
That is who are affected the most. In other words the 'main' body of support that any football club needs. Most of those will not venture to Northampton but for a couple of times. Only the ones who bleed sky blue will go, a bit like away fans if you like. Take those and add a couple of thousand at best of those missing 10% of normal fans and that will be it.

 

[dongonzalos]

300 at thd very most I think

 

[North York’s Blue]

86 mile round trip instead of 160 so actually closer! But, no I won't be renewing

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

About half an hour quicker for me from London. Swings and roundabouts.

Lucky that the majority of our fans are based in London then!

 

[the rumpo kid]

cant belive anyone is considering going to shitsfields

 

[torchomatic]

We do 40 now from Warwick, but we're not going anyway.
