....anyone heard or know anything ?

[chiefdave]

about anything in particular?

 

[Kingokings204]

Not heard a thing. Can't think how it would be useful really.

 

[italiahorse]

Sharing the new "Tim Pot" stadium ?

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Someone I know who has absolutely no interest in football but has contacts at the rugby club informs me that there are "advanced " discussions between the two clubs. Beyond that I know absolutely nothing , and they don't seem to know, or are not letting on. It could be simply that CCFC want to sell a few pin badges at the shop there (I'm guessing they have one.) It could be that our owners are not happy that they have an elephant on their badge.

We're probably moving to the Butts.

We're probably moving to the Butts.

There will be those who complain it's far too out of town.

It was Coventry United last I heard in talks, as need seating (stand) when promoted at the end of the season

If the source knows nothing about football it's probably this.

Yes
CCFC: "We play with a round ball"
CRFC: "How strange, we play with an oval one".
CCFC: "No way!"

 

[SkyBlueSid]

Maybe we are going to take a couple of their players on loan. How about someone who can tackle for starters.

... or too small ?

 

[Senior Vick from Alicante]

Non starter, the owners of cov rugby invest in their team and stadium.

 

[Cheshire Sky Blue]

We are taking them to court because they keep winning and we are f*"k><g crap.

'Clutching at straws' springs to mind.

And because their ball goes forward more than ours

We'll never fill it

If true could have legs as if we did move there and somehow developed the ground it could work.its a very unlikely longshot but at least we would be in cov

Have you seen the size of the butts?! Infrastructure would also be a massive issue. Non-starter. I would imagine the Cov Utd. shout is a good one.

I heard a silly rumour Monday night from a source who confirmed the Ricoh return WEEKS before it was announced, that Wasps want Coventry Rugby club playing at the Ricoh Arena, and we was in dialogue about taking on the Butts as a base for the new stadium.

 

[skybluetony176]

Don't the Rugby Club rent the butts of the council?

 

[Nick]

It is Cov United isn't it?

Could definitely be Cov United'a new stadium, no way it could be CoventryCity's new stadium. There is incredibly little room for expansion or improvement. Great big blocks of student accomodation (think it is student, or could be sheltered housing) right next to the pitch are already being built there.

Hardly any room for any expansion. Cov Rugby moving to the Ricoh would be excellent for them if they can get the support and the Butts would be excellent for Cov United.

Everyone's a winner all round.





Well, apart from us of course, but with every potential news story I think we always take the stance of this is going to be bad for the Sky Blues anyway.

It is very possible they got their marbles crossed as I originally thought surely they mean Cov United which if they are promoted would be brilliant for them, but where would it leave us if Cov Rugby did strike a deal with Wasps

In our shiny new stadium built by SISU

 

[pusbccfc]

Butt's maximum capacity with another stand would be what, 8000?

Perfect..

The best thing Coventry Rugby Club can do is to keep a huge distance between themselves and either CCFC or 'Wasps'. They are managing just fine without either of these hedge fund sponsored tossers fucking them up !

Had a brief chat to the owner after Saturday's game
The Impression I got Is that there Is no chance of diluting the Coventry culture at the Club to benefit anyone else
Apparently there was chatter before this season that Cov Utd were seeking use of the Butts and it's now re surfaced,it needs baring in mind that there will be Rugby League at the venue next season,so the pitch would require upgrading to support 3 teams.
