I always find it funny that when a club is down in the doldrums there's only people around who want to bleed them dry. As soon as the claw there way back into the championship and the cash is floating around everyone wants to partner the club and help them be great again.
Thank gowd for TS.

Tony Stewart had to put up a bond (£250k I think) and guarantee to be back in Rotherham within 4 years when we moved to Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield.
I wonder if the EFL will apply the same pressure to Coventry.......actually I think I know they won't ☹

On the edge of Coventry

Where the new National Stadium should have been built instead of at Wembley

The edge of Coventry is also where The University of "Warwick" is.

The University of Coventry obviously didn't sound posh enough

That’s because there everybody ignores each other

Oops, you can tell I didn't read the link

Warwick is actually about 7 or 8 miles away from the university.

You can wind up the Oxbridge rejects who went to Warwick by more accurately calling it Coventry Uni instead

Very sad that there is already a quality stadium in the city and because various factions have fallen out there is now a need to build another one.
Madness

Was thinking same. However feel you are right doubt they'll be given same time constraint

Then again they could do a West Ham and pick up a stadium on the cheap that was originally paid for by the rest of us.
