Would add more weight to a Ricoh train station…….

It is only an hour from Euston to be fair! And some of the fast trains even stop at HW! Although the Ricoh’s probably around 20 minutes at least from Coventry station by bus.

I wonder whether with the train links from London and if they put on a bus service from high wycombe whether historic London and the more recent bucks fans might find getting to and from the stadium quicker than getting to Adams Park!

I’d argue the most recent example is Wimbledon becoming MK Dons, also a disaster for the fans. But it’s the long-term financial sustainability of the club that will always win out sadly. I think they’ll try and build a new fan-base up in the Midlands – but it’s not like the area is short of Premiership teams! Coventry itself has a decent enough League 1 side with a small but loyal following so not sure how their rugby club will feel about it either.

Having played for them in the 1960s at Sudbury I thought Adams Park was a move too far. Coventry would stretch my allegiance beyond the limit. Come on Sarries

I live in Coventry, and this seems utterly barking to me.

Personally I’m ok with this as Coventry is my hometown. Although currently in Northampton so could end up being torn!

Can’t believe it. So disappointed. Any fans of theirs from the south now have an almighty journey to watch them. To the questions asked in this article – I couldn’t care less about stepping on other teams toes, I do however care a lot that (coming from the south) an extra 3 hours all in is added to the journey.

It’s ridiculous. What about the loyal fans they have that have stuck with them through their recent poor seasons, constantly going to Adams Park:? Time to forget them? I cant imagine too many will want to make the trip up to Coventry.

Want about Coventry RFC?

I imagine it would be a phased shift, a couple of games initially, like Northampton do with Milton Keynes before moving anywhere. It may end up being a move too far.
