Probably do a ground share with Nuneaton... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'd be very surprised if that was the outcome. The Boro' only just got the ground up to standard for the conference before the end of this season, as they would've been mandatory relegated otherwise. Would the ground they play at have to be up to league 1 standard? I guess not, given the time constraints Cov are going to be under, but even so, the Boro' isn't big enough for their fans. Nor Beduff, or Hinkleh...don't know much about the Cov rugby ground, but at least they could stay in the city if they went there? Well, be closer to the city than the Ricoh, even.

Marka Ragnos Posted May 3, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2013 Sounds like a bluff to help negotiations to me. That's my thinking, though it's no less depressing a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Meaningless gesture now the season has ended. They will be back in come August. Just a PR stunt to shame them into paying the bills. Had they done this during the season the landlord knows they'd push the club under and get nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Bollocks to that, Nuneaton virtually play in Hinckley these days. Let's have the 'Boro move to the Ricoh, it's probably closer to the town centre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Its a shame to see the fans get put through the mangle but feeling sorry for Coventry City? Seriously? I can remember running the gauntlet between Highfield Road and the railway station many a time genuinely scared for my life. I've never witnessed a team with such an irrational hatred of us than those scummers (and I thought the noses were bad). If the boot was on the other foot I'm sure they'd be revelling in this news if it god forbid ever happened to us. But I hope its resolved as nowhere should lose its football club really. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry were the first club I came to despise, and I still do. That said, I wouldn't want the club to dissolve or anything. Just stay rooted down in the shit.

coda Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Remember them chanting "united! united!" when we were going for the title under BFR. Difficult to have much sympathy for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Can't they move into the sty with sha? They'll all have a wonderful time talking about who hates us more. Plus with Pov and sha fans in the same stadium, they might even fill it for once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
