Yes the decision to leave HR was right. The timing was totally wrong. We should have done it when we could afford it. But Richardson gambled with our clubs future and got it wrong. Majorly wrong.

Exactly. If you wanted to move house you would save/pay for it when you knew you had the finances in place. You would not gamble your families financial security for it.

Bingo, the Ricoh has co-incided with the worst period in our history so of course we are not going to have fond memories of all the victories there. HR was a decent little ground, the fans were close to the action and made it quite intimidating for away teams to come and play when reasonably full similar to Filbert St, The Dell etc. Sadly those two clubs built their grounds around the same time but enjoyed a recovery out of their slump. We overspent and had to go begging to CCC to bail us out whilst our chairman was carrying two suitcases of cash out of Coventry.
HR was not a pretty stadium but it felt like it was ours, the ricoh hasnt sadly and now will never be our home

Nope, the Ricoh is like a library. Only buzzed about 5 or 6 times in its history.

Errm, rocked throughout Oasis, snoozed throughout Coldplay, headbanged throughout Kings of Leon and completely fell asleep throughout Take That.

How can you miss Bruce Springstein off that list?
