Steal their fanbase before they get going, before they have built the new ground, they will build one.
I hate the idea, but getting a new team up and running for next season seems to me the only logical way to put the frighteners on them.
3-5yrs is SISUs remit, that means a team needs to be up running and doing well in that time. up and running possible, successful maybe, look at AFC Wimbledon, or take Leamington, something like 8 promotions in 10 season without going backwards. A team up and running gets a promotion or 2 in the time to build the ground would get fans interested, in 5 years from now it is feasable that a new team could be in or very close to the position we are in now, low league/conference. It would have to well run and reasonably well financed to attract the right staff/players, with the right structure in place it could be a winning team and drawing the fans in.
A pipe dream for some, a dream for others, but whichever way you look at it SISU will follow thru with their plans, a Coventry City playing outside Coventry even if its oly 6 miles is a scary thought and a reality, steal the fanbase before they get settled.
No im not coming round to a replacement team, but a new team in Coventry doing well has stolen their potential fanbase, surely they would have to give it some serious thought and treat it as a serious threat to their plans. Simple really
Flame suit on
Edit, im CCFC thru and thru, money is their motivator take away the potential for them to make money, no fans no money, another spin on NOPM
