will they be "sixfields skyblues" tomorrow, or back to being Coventry city again?
Yes but nick's turned into the sisu police recently.

Do you realise how fucking stupid that sounds???
Personally, I go to Sixfields to support the team that I have supported for the last 32 years! I would still go if the football was shit and they were in relegation places because they are MY team!
Yes, I agree that they shouldn't be there, yes I agree that SISU have ran this club poorly but I also acknowledge that they are not PURELY responsible for this mess!
I'm looking forward to the 1st game back at the Ricoh when the attendance is 11k - 13k.... what will be your excuses for not going then??

Tomorrow they will be doing what Coventry City are meant to do. The city of Coventry is sending a football team to play against the town of Walsall in Walsall.
Next week the city of Nottingham will be sending a team to play against the city of Coventry in Northampton.
I've made the difference as clear as possible.
Surely you agree that whilst in Northampton they are Coventry City in name only?

If they aren't Coventry how is it your team?

To the OP and RFC - if you want to go, then go. No need to have a pop at those that can't or won't bring themselves to do it.
If you really believe that the vast majority of stay-away fans aren't putting pressure on our owners though, then I think that you're kidding yourself. Are you sure that you're not just telling yourself that so that you can feel a bit more comfortable about what you're doing?
Will you be happy to still be going to Northampton in, say, five years time?

Yep, it's hilarious. As is lots of fictional comedy based on a ludicrous premise, in this case the idea that if 8,000 fans turned up at Northampton every week we'd be back in Coventry within a year through our owner's good graces.

yeh thats BS, but i dont think NOPM will make a difference either
im still in 2 minds,have boycotted all season. will watch bradford game on sky to tide me over.
come december i might be tempted to take a game in at sixfields,dunno,always umming and arrring about it.
I think that suggesting going to support a local rival is still a pretty fucking stupid statement.

Its not that difficult is it?
There is no football team representing the city of Coventry at the moment is there?
Really? I must have misread the league one table then

You mean its Coventry City in name only?
Actually I'm here waiting to support the club representing my city. They left Coventry, not me.
I've just had another look people, I am DEFINITELY right, theres a club that are 14th in League One called Coventry City. They even play in Sky Blue!
If you want bigfatronssba You can jump in my car next time I go to see them and you can see it with your own eyes!!

nope I disagree.
Wherever they are they are still my team, and unless the move is a permanent one or they cease to exist this will always be the case.

No need for the lift, I live in Coventry so it should be easy enough for me to get to.
What part of the city are they playing in these days?

I withdraw my apology i made to you two weeks ago about the new kit. You cock.
With 4 or 5 lads in each and every starting line-up that are Coventry born and bred, this team represents the city of Coventry better than any side I can remember, regardless of where they're playing.
Not even going to try and have a smartarse comeback on that one cos your 100% right. hahaha
yes they SHOULD be in Coventry I totally agree with you however, its is still the same players playing for the same team just 30 miles down the road... which however I have found easier to fucking get to that the Ricoh!!

Interesting way of looking at it.
Man City will soon be changing their name to Manchester Ciudad soon I suspect then with 4 Spanish players in the squad.
Clutching at straws there dude. Thats not even an argument!!

That is the whole basis of the game of football.
In the middle ages one Village would compete against another in trying to get a pigs bladder to a designated point.

So who are playing at Walsall tomorrow? Do they only represent the City of Coventry every other week?

Actually disagree with this competeley. The interest in the first game back at the Ricoh will be huge, I'd expect a gate in the high 20k's
