Thinking about it if Cathedaral Lanes does end up having a few nice restaurants in it, then they will need to consider a few bars in and around the same area. I think the problem might be that so many bars in the city centre really only aim for, and cater for, students. Any new ones that aim...

The town centre is getting better........slowly. The Town Wall Tavern is superb, great atmosphere and good selection of drinks. Drappers Bar (Browns) is pretty good too, although they seem to have altered the menu. Also the Establishment seems pretty decent, although have not eaten there. The...

Not sure if this is relavent to this thread, but was talking to someone who has always played for a well known local amatuer rugger team in Coventry (won't name them). Since Wasps have been at the Ricoh he and all his mates have always gone up as it was on a Sunday and didn't get in the way of...

My understanding with regard to a probate sale is pretty much as described above by NW. if the house needs a bit of refurbishment ie new kitchen, bathroom, carpets, heating and windows then they will try and knock you down. We were lucky with the house we rent out as although the spec was not...

Renting a property now that was owned by an elderly relative. Agents identified the tennents and we decided who we were going to rent to. Provided you get the right people and not some fly by nights it can be very easy. Once a year arrange the Land Lords certificate and make sure any repairs are...

Sorry to hear your news Bantam. Instead of selling have you considered renting the property out instead?

Agree, its a very nice place to go to now. Have been a few times since it changed hands and the new people do go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Its bars like this that the city centre needs to get people to go round town again.

Have not moved house for years, the last time was stressful enough!!! Hear loads of stories these days of buyers waiting until the last minute and then demanding a drop in price.

Well put, it seems as though CCFC, SISU and everything that goes with them are being very slowly marginalised and the Council are out manouvering them.

Givers.....Danny Thomas, Terry Yorath, Jim Blythe. Takers........the biggest if the lot Larry Lloyd.

What ever damage the Luftwaffe did to the city of Coventry, it is nowhere near the damage Coventry City Council has done to the buildings and history of the city since those air raids.

I miss the place too, so very much. Have said before on here how I am slowly looseing interest in football and everything it currently is. The more I think about it, the decission to leave Highfield Road was the begining of this process.

And, sadly, that just about sums the whole situation up!!!

Have thought for a while that any half decent marketing man at Wasps would have quickly identified the large amount of disaffected CCFC fans, who for whatever reason, no longer go and watch CCFC. An easy group to encourage to a new exciting product on the basis that they have been starved of...

Stopped listening to anything to do with Eakin a long time ago. Always sings the party line and not very objective in my opinion. The caller was well prepared and was articulate enough to get his point across well. Clearly Eakin was not prepared for that!!

Stopped going as I just found that I wasn't enjoying it and was not prepared to hand over money to SISU out of blind loyalty to CCFC. I do not see them as the same thing. Sadly one has control of the other and there is very little I can do about it. As a consequence I have found other things to...

I don't think there is a strategy beyond hang around and see what happens. Maybe there will be a White Knight somewhere who wants to buy the club (cannot see it myself) at some point in the future, at which point they might get a bit of their money back. If they are not losing money then there...

Agree with every word. Am no fan of Coventry Council but the way they have played the hand they have been dealt makes me proud too. SISU have tried every trick in the book and the council have seen them coming.

Had pretty much given up watching TV but at Christmas daughter bought my an apple TV. Not got a clue how it works but can get Netflix on it. Have started watching 'House of Cards' with Kevin Spacey in it. Have to say it is brillint!!!! Cannot remeber the last time a TV programmehas got me so...

With regard to bringing in 'investment' I just don't see it happening. Am fairly sure that anyone in the bussiness world knows all about SISU and how they conduct themselves, and as a consequence won't go anywhere near anything they have an interest in. For all their talk about a new stadium...
