Of course they are not the sole property of CCFC. I would disagree that a 'lot' of Nuneaton support Villa and that a 'lot' of Warwickshire support Villa and Blues. A relatively small proportion will. West Brom have Wolves, Villa, Blues and Walsall as comparative local competition. We both have...

No chance we have far bigger population to pick for and our competition for that catchment is Warwick Nuneaton Town Kenilworth Wardens Coventry United / Spinx Leamington Town Hinckley ( a lot of which Leicester will now have ) Athertone FC. Rugby FC.

I am not too sure Mr Fisher wants 25k. He was always saying smaller with the 'potential' to rise to 25k. Mr Sharpe definitely doesn't. The only time Mr Fisher has been positively talking about 25k was when he was saying it is getting blocked

So you think West Brom have a bigger catchment area than us? Yes people from those area will just as people in Sandwell will support Wolves, Birmingham and Villa.

CCFC would still be tenants but a lot of other people would make some good money.

Mate the whole population of Sandwell is about the same size of Coventry. Then we have a lot of Warwickshire in our catchment area for fan base as well. (Nuneaton, Kenilworth, Leamington, Warwick, Rugby) If West Brom are pulling in 22-24k in the Prem. We would need 25k minimum

I believe he was always talking less with the potential to expand. Yet when it was apparently getting stopped by a 'political embargo' he was talking 25k For me it would have to be 25k from the off. Or planning permission already agreed for 25k before you build any less. I believe if less is...

What's reflective of our catchment area?

1-1 draw with Walsall away. There are a tough team in this division. We need to draw these games and win the home games.

West Bromwich West Bromwich shown within the West Midlands Population 75,405 (Town) 136,940 (Urban Sub-Area)

And for me 14k at the BPA would be forever

Ground capacities is important in relation to Mr Sharpe. So far in what I have seen he hasn't spouted rubbish. He seems to say what he means and he doesn't want a 25k stadium. He seems to be pitching in the 10-14k level.

I actually have never mentioned luck FP did. I said getting to the premiership will be down to a lot of factors but owners will usually be the key one. Not always sometimes you will get a manager or a certain group of players in fire despite owners who are clueless (and don't have zillions).

Hence the 'usually' bit in my post I actually called those ones freaks earlier. Nothing in life is ever 100%

Think we are probably better keeping this debate to If a stadium is built at the butts what capacity should it be and why? For me 25k because if it isn't from the off, it will never be allowed to get there. If we ever get to the championship play offs or the Prem. That is the amount of...

They would go to a successful football team, whether it is once for the experience or regularly. The product on offer at the moment won't be rushing them through the doors.

I am talking demand and supply if your ambition is to be in the Premiership you will have the fan base (demand) to justify a 25k stadium minimum. Even a successful go in the play offs will potentially justify a 20-25k. If your plan is to bob up and down between division 3-4 but have a viable...

Otis is right 15k on the outskirts of the city. There is a chance with new owners of future development 10-15 k at the butts. That's it. 25k is not ever going to happen

The owner is usually the most important factor. You have completely missed the point.

If you are a fan you would rightly want Coventry to have a capacity of a 25k minimum. Never mind 20k. You will dream of the possibility that one day we would have owners who can afford to own the 'only' football team in one of the bigger cities in the country. You would understand what it would...
