As a fellow history geek I should also point out that while towns nearest the centre of the county were chosen as the county town, it was also based on the best defended. Warwick with its castle was the best defended town in the area.

The uni was meant to be called the university of warwickshire. Think they found the whole county a bit common for them so they dropped the shire.

If I was manager I'd lock all the players in a room with this fellow, record it, and then play it on the big screen before the next match. Of course the players would all suffer horrifc injuries, but at least it would give us fans a bit of enjoyment again.

[/B] The players must be even dumber than I originally thought if they still think Shaw has a chance.

I dont know why but thats just made me laugh.

I know exactly what you mean. I remember a time when a loss would hurt, now I couldnt really care less to be honest.

Pre 1974 Coventry had its own Police, Fire, and Bus services, all seperate from Warwickshire. Yet we were very much part of Warwickshire then, so how is that any different to now?

But how can we be part of the West Midlands when there is no West Midlands Authority? If we're going to use arguments like the Police then what about the Coventry & Warwickshire Ambulance service? Or Coventry & Warwickshire NHS?

I agree its not in the modern county of Warwickshire, just as its not in the West Midlands as that doesn't exist as a county anymore either. The only thing that we can say is its in the Warwickshire area, and to me the towns of Nuneaton, Rugby & Leamington have far more in common with Coventry...

Why do they not say Welcome to West Midlands when you enter it?

The West Midlands County Council was abolished on 31 March 1986, and so its districts (the metropolitan boroughs) are now effectively unitary authorities Heres a challange then: I will accept Coventry is in the West Midlands if someone can post a link to the West Midlands County website.

Without distracting from what the thread is about the West Midlands county hasnt existed since the 80's.
