As much as I hate the Ricoh, you are right. It will never happen unfortunately.

Or fortunately, for those of us who don't live outside Coventry.
At the end of the day the club should be in the city of Coventry and for the people of Coventry.
Would suit a few to move outside the area, but the vast majority and then some want the club to be in Coventry and certainly no further afield than it is now.
I know a lot of people don't like the Ricoh, but I am one who really likes it.
To me a large proportion of the statements of dislike by fans are down to the fact that it's soulless. Well it's soulless because it's empty.
A full Ricoh or 20,000 every week and it could be a great atmosphere.

If they had a titty show at half time I'd return.

I don't hate The Ricoh. I'm pretty proud of the Ricoh. What I hate is everything around it. From Arena 2000 until now it's been used as an ego trip and pocket filler from everyone from Bryan Richardson to ACL and all at the expense of our beloved club. If all these people had the club at the forefront of their minds instead of how best to milk the site dry to line their own pockets I'm convinced we would be back in the Premiership by now, if we'd have even got relegated in the first place.

Makes no difference to me. I've always had to travel to see City as I've never lived in Coventry. I agree, it should be in Coventry. Just a shame we can't have our own 100% owned venue.

To those who say its not ours because we're only a tenant, if you live in a council house is that not your 'home'?

Maybe its time for SISU to consider fecking off?

You can't compare the two. If you live in a Council house your rent is very reasonable, very low. Total opposite to ours.

Difficult to play a game of football in a council house though!

I'm proud that Coventry has an asset like The Ricoh, but it still saddens me that Highfield Road is no more. I don't really see how the emotional attachment I had to HR will ever be replaced as I sit in a stand named after a supermarket, a stadium named after a printed company surrounded by Pizza Huts and Burger King.
I suppose that's football in general, but its still sad. Watching the League Cup final today was a prime example. Tacky sponsored flags, Capital One logos plastered on every inch of space and when Swansea lifted the cup, they played some horrendous chart music, couldn't even hear the fans.

I'm not talking about the level of the rent payments. Just that there seems to be an idea that just because we rent our ground it isn't our home.
