Bolton also springs to mind as an "out of town" move which is hated by everyone.

There's a housing estate there now.

We are due a cup tie against them soon. This used to be a regular fixture when I was younger. The only things I remember from their fans from the last games with them are: Chanting not much else apart from "Your Mum's your Dad and your Dad's your Mum, you're interbred and your Leicester scum!" Some of their more 'hardcore' ones organising pre/post-match brawls against LCFC fan thugs. Iirc, believe that about 20 got arrested after some fight in their city after a game (?).

Remember this - it's so moronic you can't help but laugh
Dan Posted 4 April 2019 Posted 4 April 2019 They were literally singing it a good 15 minutes. Was surreal.
Nalis Posted 5 April 2019 Posted 5 April 2019 They're only 6 points off the play offs too. Would they do a Bolton if they went up though?

Wymsey Posted 11 April 2019 Posted 11 April 2019 Both the football club there and the city of Coventry itself have seemed 'forgotten' over the past decade (to others that support other clubs/don't live near the area). The place, overall, is quite dead really.

It will be either MK or Burton I would have thought. I think that part of the disaster unfolding at Bolton was the decision to abandon Burnden Park and move miles away to some horrible pit you can only get to by car. Thank God we never did that

Thank God we never did that Burnden Park was pretty bad when they left with a huge supermarket overlooking the ground. Bolton had some great times before their current malaise. There's plenty of examples of clubs doing really well despite building out of town stadiums - Swansea for one.

Our ground seemed as soulless as any of them for a while- being located in the middle of nowhere could have really ripped the soul out of the club.

The biggest bonus is the fact match day routines stayed the same for everyone as it's just up the road. I feel for West Ham fans on this part.
Dan Posted 12 April 2019 Posted 12 April 2019 I'm convinced West Ham will abandon that ground in the next decade. It's just awful. Capacity is literally the only good thing I could say about it.

Leicesterpool Posted 12 April 2019 Posted 12 April 2019 I think Cov will end up at St Andrews, but the issue would be they wouldn't be allowed to play on same day as Villa or West Brom, due to policing. Of course they'll be a lot of Sunday games anyway due to clashes with Birmingham fixtures. From what I gather a lot of Coventry fans are back that move or more than most. Some of the other grounds been mentioned locally they don't fancy.

Voll Blau Posted 16 April 2019 Posted 16 April 2019 Groundshare narrowed down to Coventry rugby ground or Birmingham City... https://coventryobserver.co.uk/news/breaking-coventry-city-groundshare-options-include-cov-rugbys-butts-park-arena-and-birmingham-city/
Dan Posted 16 April 2019 Posted 16 April 2019 The rugby ground holds 4k. What an absolute farce Birmingham seems very risky too given they'd surely end up playing whenever Villa are at home, unless they made Coventry play every game on Sundays (which is absolutely crap as well).
Ted Maul Posted 16 April 2019 Posted 16 April 2019 Surely they would be putting some temporary stands in if it's the rugby ground? Still, it's in the city and I'm guessing most of them would prefer it to the Ricoh.

Think they held talks a couple of years back over a permanent groundshare and increasing capacity to 20k, but apparently the rugby club weren't happy because it's way beyond what they'd ever need themselves.
