Don't know much about Supermarine's ground, accessibility, room for expansion etc, and i'm not advocating we make them an offer too good to refuse, but is it feasible we could relocate there? I'm guessing we'd get around quite a few planning permission issues as it's a site already being used for sports recreation. You heard it here first

Be a slightly shorter drive for me, so I'm all in favour!
Obviously not. We must stay at the CG, the story at Cov is a lesson to us all.

The lesson isn't that moving grounds or even out of town is a bad idea. The lesson is that you shouldn't run up massive losses year after year and move to a new ground that you can't afford, resulting in having to sell your stake in the new ground and agree to pay rent that you can't afford whilst still continuing to rack up massive losses year after year. No one is shafting Coventry, they did this to themselves. They wanted to catch up to the big clubs, host World Cup games and play in the Champions League (their words, not mine). They gambled. They lost. Tough shit.

You shouldn't laugh at somebody else's misfortune. Shame on you

I bet they play their first home fixture of the season there.

It does make me wonder what will happen to it if they didn't go back, i.e is Darlington's new (well must be nearly 10 year old) 28,000 seater ground sat there doing nothing? Seems a waste of a ground! *edit just seen Darlington Modwen Park Rugby team bought their ground in December http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darlington_Mowden_Park_R.F.C.
