Re: Coventry City...
But this article says they are only 'pondering' a ground share and nothing is signed or confirmed officially by the Cobblers.

Re: Coventry City...
The Football League have yet to sanction the groundshare and i don't think they will appreciate the timing as they have already released the Fixtures and there will be potential Home fixture clashes.

Re: Coventry City...
I'm sure that Sunday 'home' fixtures plus the additional travelling distance will go down well with Coventry fans IF the ground share goes ahead.BartonRaz wrote: Coventry will play 'home' matches on Sunday's and Wednesday's to avoid clashes - of which there are 11.

Re: Coventry City...
What happened to having to play in the conurbation of the club's name? Rotherham were allowed to spend a few years at the Don Valley Stadium but they had already got planning permission for their new stadium. Coventry's owners, on the other hand, just seem to have vague plans for a new stadium in Coventry. I think they'll be at Sixfields for longer than three years, unless they go bust before then...

I reckon they should play in that big ground on the edge of Coventry, what's it called, the RICOH.....OHBob's Bitch wrote:What happened to having to play in the conurbation of the club's name?
