If seven gnomes kidnapped you and made you watch back to back videos of Barnsley in their Premiership winning season, would you stop watching Cov and watch Bradford instead?
Fuck off, slag the council off as much as you like but that post seriously? fuck off
An appalling and inaccurate analogyWhat the council did was more like rape. Nasty, cynical, manipulative rape by a friend of the family hitherto unsuspected by most. (But not all)
The Ricoh.
I could see that happening. But it wouldn't be the council that brought in a new club, it would be MGI Fiduciary. If at the end of 2+2 they could franchise in an EPL or high end Championship team who doesn't own it's stadium they might give it serious thought.
Council did not bring Wasps. They came. Big difference. Amazing bad luck = look at the acheivements of our owners ( going back years ).
I am 53 new teams start in Coventry all the time I have played for a few.
Time to stop gazing a your navel and start looking forward. The situation is what it is, you can't change the past.
As Joe Strummer said "The future is unwritten"
martcov;830313. Owners don't normaly move teams either. We just have amazing bad luck as fans. .[/QUOTE said:It's not exclusive to us as a club, there's a team just down the M1 that moved, and one that moved even further away that has it's first game on Sunday at it's new "home".

Oi! Lucas! We're having the Ricoh! Of course they brought Wasps in.
But of course, you spend your time defending them and Wasps too.
Oh really. I thought that the owners of CCFC broadcast that they weren't interested in the Ricoh and were building a new stadium. Then Wasps came and had a look at the empty facilities. I think credit for attracting Wasps should therefore go to our owners.
It's sad, for the last 7 years all we've been hearing is that SISU must never own the Ricoh and now everyones screaming why didn't they buy the Ricoh earlier before Wasps.
The council never had any intention of selling to SISU. I recall Fisher saying numerous times, we need to own our ground, if that can't be the Ricoh then we need to build up our own ground.
The notion that SISU were never interested in buying the Ricoh before Wasps came in is ludicrous. The truth is that the council had no intention of selling to SISU so much that SISU went to extreme measures with Sixfields to try back them into a corner and force them to sell up.

if this happened which clearly it wont but I give up on football. Having said that I am nearly there already!
The only time I would go watch and support another team would be if I moved there.

I hate to disagree with a musician I so much admire - let alone a dead one.
I haven't posted anything serious here for quite a long time but I do feel strongly that the council has done nothing wrong. The council's sole responsibility is to the ratepayers of Coventry. It must not permit itself to be taken the piss out of by anyone. Our owners are piss-takers. They tried to distress ACL and the council had to react. In the grand scheme of things it has done the best it could by bringing another advantage to the city.
I hope that SISU give in soon; I am sure the council will bend over backwards to help a sympathetic and pleasant owner of the club.
I'll listen to 'New Boots and Panties' in penance. And say three 'Clever Trevor's
