No 3 please! It can be our training ground
No 3 please! It can be our training groundI have wondered about whether Billionaire BSB would:
1. Buy the Ricoh and evict Wasps
2. Build a new ground
3. Build a new ground, buy the Ricoh and evict Wasps anyway
No 3 please! It can be our training ground
Let’s face it, if they changed our colours to red and white. We would do some half arsed protest, a group of people not attend claiming Not one Red Bull More (NORBM) then we would start doing well and people will come back for some other piss poor excuse
Very good side although spurs were shiteGot to say that RBL looked pretty good on the telly last night - still a performance like that from our boys on Saturday is very possible from our top team
It would probably have died a death, if you hadn't replied and therefore renewed it.Why does this thread exist?
I started it....with no malice intended.Why does this thread exist?

Can't actually believe it!! Telegraph at it again.
Not being looked atI know that this was huge nonsense at the time but with us now on the cusp of the championship it’s perhaps slightly less huge nonsense.
There’s some sense in building a facility at Brandon (keep with me) that houses a stadium for football and has an out-door “Red Bull Racing” karting track (outside the stadium) that becomes car parking on match days etc. There might be less planning issues if the principal use does not change from motor sporting with 20 days football per year.
I’ve heard all the arguments about “planning objections” but this may get round it. I’m unsure, but maybe.
Regular revenue for the ground through one stream (Racing). Maybe an angle having a motor racing car team based in Cov?
Just thoughts. (Awaits barage of negativity that usually prevents people from posting ideas)

won't happen, Bill Gates is buying us. With Cov in our name he will use the club to promote his aim of developing a vaccine for the Covid 19 virus.
You heard it here first, see you at the Phylogenetic Research Arena, capacity 60,000, but with social distancing only 20,000 allowed in, in 2022.
Well with Red Bull being run by a Coventry City fanatic as it is, Red Bull with a history of investing in football, us having loads of stadia options (not) and us being a homeless club in the Championship (probably) where our chances of competing are helped by division rivals being financially built on sand (and ending up in Sunderland-like scenarios x 10) decent players having less options, the U.K. Government needing to encourage construction development to counter economic depression.
I can see why the notion is worthy of derision and nonsense about Bill Gates.
crack on.
Man City’s owners have regenerated the area created 1000s jobs, and turned their club into one of the biggest clubs in the world.Would fucking hate a Liepzig kind of takeover or worse Man City style. No thanks. How any long term man city fan can look at their club now and feel any kind of emotional attachment/belonging I have no idea.

to suggest you wouldn’t want that I would say you have no understanding of what Man City are as a club

Same. I’d be basking in itThey've had a lot of supporters who've been going for years chuck it.
Of course after years of living in the shadow of Utd there's plenty who are loving it but when you've spent years wearing your shitiness as a badge of honour and taking the piss out of your neighbour for their out of town support and commercialism when you're suddenly the all conquering global brand I'd imagine that's a bit of a head fuck for some people.
As a microcosm of the state of their support you only have to look at two of their most famous, the Gallagher brothers. Noel says he loves it, Liam says he preferred how it was.
Personally, if it was me, I couldn't see myself being anything but delighted with it.
They're a horrific gang of cheating cunts (the owners)

Because often the ridiculous becomes real. I mean, fifteen years ago the idea that we’d be homeless playing in Northampton and Birmingham with a London Rugby team playing in our ground sounded - ridiculous.I can't believe you have managed to make me trick myself with my own fake link that I forgot about.
Why would you do this to me.

You know we’re about to vote to end the season purely because we’re top of the league...
I wouldn’t be upset with a couple of premiership trophies

I liked Maine Road too as you say a proper football ground alongside Everton’s soon to be vacant Goodson Park and Arsenal’s Highbury, first went there in 1967 and you could taste the history
What do you think about sisu then?They're a horrific gang of cheating cunts (the owners)
I have no doubt they’ve created lots of jobs. I still wouldn’t want coventry to become what Man City have. Each to their own I guess. For me when you are the richest club in the world like that and the expectation is to win anything and you just have the highest earners in the world playing for you and it’s just an Etihad advertisement...nah, not for me. Wouldn’t feel as attached and emotionally involved. Do you get what I mean?Man City’s owners have regenerated the area created 1000s jobs, and turned their club into one of the biggest clubs in the world.

I actually feel more attached and emotionally connected to my club than ever before, probably because of the terrible circumstances we’ve found ourselves in and still keep fighting on and we have fantastic support.We are already playing our games away from Coventry with no sign of coming back..there's an argument to say "How any long term city fan can look at their club now and feel any kind of emotional attachment/belonging I have no idea".
Say what you like about SISU, But they don't hold office in a country where homosexuality is illegal and punishable by death and flogging, stoning and amputation are legal punishments and routinely jail women for reporting being raped.What do you think about sisu then?
