Nah don't like the sound of "Coventry Roots" either ;-)
Well the fact that pretty much everyone to a man thinks the name is wrong should surely hold some credence.
If names don't matter every single business in the UK could just call themselves anything they want.
Fact is, new businesses think long and hard about their business name and make it is a name that stirs up interest. Basically it has to be something you need to get right. Coventry United sounds mundane and boring.
United must be the most common football name in the entire world.
Why not try and be a bit a different and why not go for something with Coventry roots.

That is not necessarily a bad thing. Cities with 2 major clubs tend to hold support in city better.
Red & green definitely. Love it! Really says Coventry. It's the traditional civic colours of the city and would be truly distinctive.
Why not just call the team Coventry.
Same as the rugby club?
Coventry United is a joke, i could not take people seriously who have thought that name up. Even if they changed the name now its too late.
Though they were Coventry rfc?
Foleshill Phoenix's
Wood End Peckers
Radford Raiders
Earlsdon Eagles
No It's Cov City or nothing

coventry blitzThe explanation, though valid, still isn't an argument really is it. To 'unite' the fans.
Do they not think everyone else who is 'United' originally were called that for the same sort of reasons. Hardly unique.
It is a rubbish name it has to be said. One that lacks imagination and spark.
Think a new club should have a name that stands out from the crowd, rather than become just yet another 'United.'
Coventry Godiva FC would suffice. Loads of names with Coventry connections and pointers to history if you look for them.

I don't know whether is the bank holiday booze....but are we now saying that if ccfc leave this cov utd will replace them (ie our AFC Coventry)?

We are a Club with big ambitions, and all that we want is support for our new team, it is going to be a club for the fans. The colour red was agreed with the 4 of us and the players.
In reality you will get less than 100 people watching this team
Attendances will be similar to what SISU FC will be getting at Walsall or wherever they go for next 3 years then
They will be nowhere near those attendances. In 6 months time no one will even remember this discussion.
care to elaborate or is this yet another Grendel sound bite with zero substance?
Name one club at that level that ever has had anywhere near the attendances of clubs that have temporarily moved to another town. Away fans will outnumber the people watching a pub team get real.
what if people did really get behind this though? None of us will truly know that until they kick a ball. Attendances will obviously start off low but as the team go up the pyramid more and more people will go and watch. Is not unfeasible for a team playing non league football to attract attendances of 2 or 3 thousand. Leamington get that every week. Can you honestly see more that 3 thousand going to watch SISU FC playing in Walsall?
No 3,000 sounds about right to me. I won't go some will but will not watch another team especially such low level - why would I?
