Well of course originally Fisher said the groundshare would be in the West Midlands, however it seems Walsall/Birmingham turned us down. Therefore it seems Sixfields was the last option only chosen by necessity. However if I chose to go, which I don't it would be my preferred option. About 32 minutes on a direct train, or by car a simple trip down the A45 onto the M45 (which is always virtually empty) and then 7/8 miles down the M1. Its this side of the City Centre, and basically a straight road in and out.
Walsall involves either getting 2 trains or having to travel the dreaded M6 which is often gridlocked. Although Birmingham is nearer, the time difference is neither here or there, indeed the Coventry Road is littered with traffic lights seemingly every 500 yards. Plus even if crowds reached 3,000/4,000, that would still look deserted in a much bigger stadium.
Indeed Fisher can thank his lucky stars that the team is not only winning but playing fantastic football, because if this season had produced similar levels of performance that fans have had to endure over the past God knows how many seasons, then I suspect that crowds would have struggled to reach even 4 figures.
