I know this may be old but I was at ricoh again and what a shite atmosphere. Will small attendances why do we want this ground so much so why not redevelop butts arena to 12500 and then both clubs will prosper with this.
IF we are planning for a successful future what good is a ground that only holds 12,000?

You start then.Why dont we just pack it in
Maybe CRFC don't want their ground redeveloping?

It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation. It's rubbish playing at a 32K capacity stadium and getting under 10K but that's where we're at. A move to a smaller stadium in the city centre would be attractive now but what happens if we do well? Do we pack in at the new stadium and move back to the Ricoh, develop it up to a similar capacity?

The ricoh was and always will be too big for coventry city , only sustained success , something the club havent seen for 50 years , would ensure capacity was regularly reached , and only in the premier league .
highfield road was plenty big for coventry city
Genuine question: do we actually know how they feel about this? Have there been any public statements? The only things I've heard don't exact point to the owners spitting feathers like portrayed on here, but I've not really been following it.

Genuine question. How would YOU feel?
From NW's answer, I guess I'd feel OK about it as long as they're not moving for all games.
23000 capacity was plenty for us we are never gonna be a 30000 club every week even in the premier league, I just wanna wash my hands of the Ricoh it's been a disaster from day 1 and hopefully SISU F off and the council can accommodate us nearer the city centreThe ricoh was and always will be too big for coventry city , only sustained success , something the club havent seen for 50 years , would ensure capacity was regularly reached , and only in the premier league .

I'd be completely indifferent as I'm not a rugby fan, let alone a rugby club. But again, doesn't answer my question, the hardest thing when this place blows up about something is extracting fact from speculation.

Forget Rugby. The game doesn't matter. How would you feel if say a big Premiership team was going to move into the City? Would you be worried for CCFC?
