Coventry Stadium Sold

Recommended Posts

Really? It really bothers me where/how they obtained it. I suppose that's the difference between a Swindon fan and a Poole fan - we have scruples! :wink:

 

If that's the Russian currency, its a shame you didn't have more of it last season?!!!! :D

Good attempt at humour wrapped up in sarcasm :wink:

Not a surprise that a Poole fan doesn't know what the word means :wink:

If a new site could be found who is going to finance the purchase of the land and the building of a new stadium.

Hopefully not. I wouldn't want anything to do with Eddie Mitchell.

 

 

 

There are a few wealthy Russians now living in Sandbanks - as AFC Bournemouth found to their benefit!!

I'd like to think that the Sky Blues will go back to the Ricoh, but am beginning to have my doubts TBH. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they stay in Northampton - especially as the Cobblers are on the slide and a good many of their fans are starting to turn up on a Sunday afternoon for CCFC matches.

 

The Ricoh would make a lovely National Speedway/Bees stadium, granted, but there are too many obstacles I fear - not least the necessity to remove a huge swathe of seats at either end and re-contour the banking to suit (it's much too short between the existing end fences to house a properly-sized speedway track unless a Costa Mesa-esque one is found acceptable. Hah!).

 

Yes, the council need to find a tenant, and the Bees sort of fit the profile - but they wouldn't be big enough of an earner to make it worthwhile. A much-reduced capacity 'bowl' might help in that respect (while also possibly interesting Cov RFC as they appear to be building towards a genuine effort at getting back to the top league, and have recently secured substantial funding from a very wealthy former player to that end. 22,000 seats? Much too big for the Bees to be sure, but with another major tenant making it an all-year-round facility, who knows?

You would only need a change of ownership for City and they would be in there like a shot. The Bees need a stadium of there own with a long lease so the fans are not allways wondering whether they will be running the following season one more point can't see the stox at the Richo Edited by kingbee
