They said that we’ve already agreed a ground share but it’s not the preferred one, that’s still in discussion and it’s not Birmingham

Probably neither might mean the ownersWhen you say “they” do you mean CCFC or CWR?
Been agreed a long time I would imagine regardless of what they tell us been saying this weeks.They said that we’ve already agreed a ground share but it’s not the preferred one, that’s still in discussion and it’s not Birmingham
Where have you been looking, out of interest?Either will, there is a bit of que sera sera on here but I don’t think it’s reflected generally with supporters who don’t do websites etc and I haven’t found many who will go anywhere out of Cov and will wash their hands with the club until it’s back in Coventry, which could be a long time.

Probably, but a lot of fans don’t, most in fact and deal with the here and now.They should turn their attention towards the council and the London rugby club currently in the city then.

I certainly won’t be going there mate no chanceSo what are peoples estimates of crowds at Northampton (or wherever) should there be a groundshare?
Tim's estimate of 7k if doing well might actually be accurate next season!
My guess is 5000 in the first season (more if promotion is on the cards) but falling in subsequent seasons towards 3000.
Northampton or Burton would be a complete joke and an embarrassment to the club. Most fans will stay away imo. Personally I’d prefer Nuneaton or Rugby with temporary stands, at least its within the vicinity of the City.
End of the day, if the council agree to the Woodlands plans, then we’ll see if SISU stick to their word and drop the legals, enabling us to stay at the Ricoh. That would be the perfect outcome in all of this.
I could go back historically years where our CCC have blocked our club on a number of issues including re-building HR simply because it would alter a road, Thackell Street. If that had got the okay we would still be there and what you say about the franchise I don’t disagree with but at the moment for us it’s the here and now surely.
I want our club to be successful, at the moment, even long after SISU, we are going to be at a disadvantage and forever have a glass ceiling above us with the current situation.
Personally I think that’s very optimistic, after the initial first couple of games I would say 3000 home fans if we are lucky. I don’t know anyone who has said they will go.So what are peoples estimates of crowds at Northampton (or wherever) should there be a groundshare?

The reality of having a family and not being able to afford a whole day every other week. Gutted. I know you know that me and my lad are very passionate about our home town clubDon’t give a shit about the club then Pete? Rather see it die?
And that illustrates what I think will happen imo. Our home gate is up to around 10k now, took a while to get there but it has and slowly increasing, it will plummet elsewhere, I think at Burton it’s less than 5k home fans.If it's Northampton I'll get a season ticket. It's quicker for me to get to and from six fields than the Ricoh. Also will be a lot cheaper as free parking.
Burton I won't do as that is a bit too far out of the way.
Rugby/Nuneaton I would consider but don't see them happening.
