I agree with this, ever since the first game it has never really felt like home to me, anyone who genuinely wants to build us a new stadium in Cov, or buy the Ricoh lock stock and then connect ownership to the club gets my vote.I want us to play in Coventry, but wouldn't care if I never stepped inside the Ricoh ever again.
The abandoned building at the bottom of Burbages Lane could have made a great pre match venue too.Yep, get all that and very valid.
Personally, I would have liked to have seen a supporters club place built on the waste ground the other side of the train track at the Ricoh
He's literally just asking the question and nobody has shown a preference for St Andrews. Calm your tits.Why not just move there permanently and be done with it.
This is the problem with Cov fans, will just accept anything that falls into their lap.
No they are way too small if in Coventry. Ironically the number is about 24 to 27k similar to HR back in the day which was about 23500A stadium sized similar to Doncaster’s or Rotherham’s would suite us better imo.
Yeah. I would say we would need about 25,000.No they are way too small if in Coventry. Ironically the number is about 24 to 27k similar to HR back in the day which was about 23500
I don't think there is anyone who doesn't want us playing in Coventry, it's a shit situation, we're just looking on the bright side of life. Ricoh or new stadium aside it's the blues ground for a while.Okay, so can just I ask a general question to everyone on here.
If and obviously this is just supposing, IF the only two options were playing at St. Andrews for the next 10-15 years, OR coming back to the Ricoh, what would you choose?
Just wondering if people WOULD actually choose St. Andrews over the Ricoh. Some seem to prefer it right now, but would you accept the situation and prefer it on a long term basis?
If I won, I'd buy the Ricoh and immediately kick out Wasps.If I won the euro millions (which I don't play) then I wouldn't buy the club but I would spend £40m building a stadium in Cov, give the club a 200 year deal on peppercorn rent and hold ownership until a proper supporters trust was set up to take over.
My stadium would be in a better location and watching London Wasps go pop and the council struggling with a white elephant would be what they deserve.If I won, I'd buy the Ricoh and immediately kick out Wasps.

Yes, I realise that. I was just trying to gauge how long people would be happy staying in Birmingham.That’s a loaded question due to the timescale - reduce to 3-4 years and return to a completely new stadium and you’ll get a different answer
The truth is it’s a poor ground for many reasons - especially facilities and locality.
The council have bought up all that land so a CCFC stadium is a non starterIt will never happen I know but having the stadium right in the heart of the city would breathe new life into the place. There were plans to redevelop the precinct around the City Arcade, Shelton Square, Bull Yard area which have now been shelved as the viability of the city centre as simply a shopping centre is in question. Why not build a stadium there, right in the heart of the city which would bring thousands of extra potential customers on up to thirty occasions a year? If the development contained shops and housing, this too would up the vibrancy of the area. A stadium capable of holding concerts, conferences, exhibitions and with a hotel built in would add to the footfall. Some visitors/away fans would no doubt stay over in the city and visit the Cathedral, Spon Street and the Motor Museum.
The High Street and city centres are dying because people’s priorities and habits have changed. Without some sort of innovation it is hard to see how Coventry city centre can flourish again. Something along the lines of this development would help.
I really like the idea of Hearsall Common, but that would never happen either.The council have bought up all that land so a CCFC stadium is a non starter
Well according to Robins that's exactly what it did.Nor did it make our players take 10 extra touches in the box instead of shooting last season...

How does that work?Just putting it out there for discussion, not stating a fact or my own opinion. How will not going to St.Andrews have any effect on SISU ? They have budgeted to fund next season and any loss of income can be set against tax. It won't really effect them ?
As I said, just putting it out there for discussion.How does that work?
Where would the club's cash flow requirements have come from? You're not stupid i find it mental how you think Dale Evans would have been a competent leader?
Not sure common land can be sold... either way I think a central location is unrealistic these days.I really like the idea of Hearsall Common, but that would never happen either.

Perfect bit of land would be on the a45 at Whitley going towards Cov airport. Massive bit of land, great access off a45 and ready to build on. I thought jag were building on it but apparently that’s been shelved or at least put on hold
Cardiff does very well out of having a stadium in a central location. It becomes gridlocked for big events but it’s not like that all the time.It will never happen I know but having the stadium right in the heart of the city would breathe new life into the place.

Away fans in upper tier to keep Sunderland happy?Need a new stadium 23500 capacity with a 2 tiered west end
As I said, just putting it out there for discussion.
I got this reply;Probably. Also they'll need to speak to coach providers. Unfortunately due to St. Andrew's being announced half way through June those within the club are under pressure to sort about five things at once at the moment. So, you may want to send an email in or contact them on Twitter to give them a gentle reminder.
Absolutely pathetic really.As I said, just putting it out there for discussion.
Apart from a whole university and one large campus, you mean?Brighton did it, in a very similar location. Absolutely nothing around their ground. Right off a dual carriageway. All contained. People go , they drink and eat at the ground and they bugger off.
Yeah but Brighton have a train station that serves the ground from the town centre. People get pissed in the town then jump on the train. You can’t expect people to get pissed in town then jump on the 21 from town and walk ten minutes from pc world[/QUOTE]
