    **ALL USERS READ THIS, ACTION REQUIRED ASAP** - Sky Blues Talk forum statement

    Even if we're not building our own stadium, which I think is most peoples stance, you wouldn't want to sign up to a long lease with no break in it. You never know what might be down the line and if in many years time some billionaire wants to build us a stadium we don't want being tied into a...

    **ALL USERS READ THIS, ACTION REQUIRED ASAP** - Sky Blues Talk forum statement

    Ideally back ASAP but I think once there was an agreement in place I'd happily leave it up to whatever Robin's preference was.

    New TV series 2019

    Thought it was brilliant, pretty much every episode is. There is a podcast on BBC Sounds which is worth a listen as well.

    Things that annoy you

    People at work, particularly those in more senior roles, who can't be bothered to do their jobs and just push things back onto you. For various different parts of my job I have four different people to report today. Today I've tried to escalate two things up to managers as it needs them to make...

    IKEA Closing in Coventry

    Had a look online but can't find anything. The way whoever it was from the council who was on CWR this morning was talking made it sound like Ikea rent from the council. Although you wouldn't have thought the council would have built something to Ikea's spec without them being tied to a lease.

    IKEA Closing in Coventry

    Well according to someone from the council this morning they've already got multiple potential tenants after it.

    IKEA Closing in Coventry

    What would go in there? There's already a cinema and ice rink in the Skydome. Can't imagine the police would be keen on more night clubs as there's already a fair bit of trouble in that area. Could stick a bowling alley in there I suppose, think the only one is up by the Showcase if thats even...

    IKEA Closing in Coventry

    This doesn't make sense. We're told the reason the council struggles to attract higher class, for want of a better term, retailers is lack of demand in the city. How is there a lack of demand if thousands of students are getting on a train to go and shop at those stores? The cafes and...

    IKEA Closing in Coventry

    What about the flats on what was a council run car park opposite the sports centre?

    Stadium

    If you knocked down Ikea and the SkyDome (the whole complex not just the ice rink) along with the car park you'd probably have enough room but even if you believed SISU were building a stadium the cost for the site would make it a non starter.

    Streams for tonight

    Their online player normally has every game the FA provide a feed for so if it’s not listed there chances of it being anywhere are slim.

    IKEA Closing in Coventry

    How busy do they expect it to be? Regularly causes huge traffic jams back onto the ring road so unless they start getting people in by helicopter how are they expecting to increase numbers? Although maybe that’s the problem. The city centre traffic management is so bad these days there’s...

    Stadium

    If you didn't want so many sky blue seats and didn't want multicoloured easiest thing to do is just reverse the colours. Have most of the seats dark blue and the lettering in sky blue.

    Stadium

    Why can't SISU knock something like this up. Only cost $1.5bn and we could share it with the Blaze.

    General Election 2019 thread

    Good to see them sticking together. There was very little scrutiny of Johnson and the things he was coming out with in the election campaign and he seems to want to carry on that way. You can't have a government that refuses to have anyone on shows like R4 Today or speak with anyone who gives...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    That should be a case study for the need to read an article as well as the headline! Its one of several contingency plans drawn up by a now departed Chief Exec in the best case scenario although Nissan deny it even exists! One thing stood out to me, the plan involves increasing its share of the...

    You beauty! Great finish. They'll be gutted, wouldn't have been happy going in at half time level let alone losing.

    Great calm finish. Nice little build up for that as well. Loads of room in behind them when we actually manage to get the ball out of our half.

    That was appalling. So many things wrong in the lead up to that.

    Makes a change for the ref to clamp down on the fouls early. Hopefully will make them think twice.
