I was talking to a bloke this morning. He was buzzing on about a Rugby club coming to the Ricoh. To be announced early September. Will be playing there by December.

Highly unlikely.
Considering that our fans are now very much anti-franchise, if this were to be true, then i'm sure ACL will soon feel the wrath of our support.

With Jaguar Land Rover sponsoring them when they come.

Makes the purchase of CCFC more attractive if it included ownership of the stadium
I would expect ACL would be trying to find more users. CCFC have it for a limited numbers of days and a max of 4 years.

Well, none of you have sussed out what team the guy was talking about?
If true then I think there are only a couple of teams that would consider it, London Wasps and Northampton.
Wasps have played at the Ricoh before but was not popular with the fans and have had problems with new stadium planning permission.
Northampton are planning some work and need a stadium to play their bigger matches, they have used MK Stadium in the past.
Any such agreement may be a temporary arrangement, but then so is the deal with CCFC.
It would never be Northampton. They are either in the process of developing or have further developed their ground to a higher capacity, and have tried and successfully played bigger games at the MK Dons stadium. As for Wasps, they have always been and always will be a London club, not midlands.
So in respect of the rumour that a Rugby Club is coming to the Ricoh, unless it is a small one, I just cant see it.
I was thinking that. Can't see any RU teams playing here tbh.Doubt it would be Rugby league in these parts Union only mate.

True but surely a third council owned stadium would be a more suitable home!Don't see why it can't be a League team.
Surely a City the size of Coventry could support three loss making clubs?

As I stated earlier, if true then it will probably be Wasps European Rugby matches, it will only be three matches (26/10/14; 13/12/14; 24/01/15)
It fits with the CCFC fixtures and they have used it previously.

Be more council sports stadiums than houses soon!
Ahem.....think again. Last game in London will have Invicta (Harry's sports foundation) on their shirts. Sunday games in the league. It could happen you know.
Suits City with their games played on Saturdays.
You were right!
You were right!
Would you care to reconsider ?Highly unlikely.
And OP did give us a fairly big clue when he said the guy was buzzing! Doh
