Not sure what you are disagreeing with. What some people think about Coventry is irrelevant. I know people from rural Leicestershire who think Leicester itself is a hole, but Leicester is still the regional centre and is better off for it. And besides, I know a lot of people from Warwickshire...

Ginger on ginger, it should never happen. It's like when matter meets anti-matter, stuff happens.

Agree. Wouldn't be arsed if Bristol City game was cancelled to. Start them all in front of a big following at Notts County.

That nickname is just lazy. The words just blend together nicely. Cov is no more or less 'chavvy' than any other large city. Nottingham has more going for it, but then it is a regional centre with an urban area twice the size of Coventry. Worse places than Cov, as anyone who made the recent...

Some good news about Friargate in the last couple of days though - http://www.insidermedia.com/insider/midlands/107221-coventry-brink-securing-major-occupier-landmark-friargate-scheme - think this development could be the start of real change.

The sorting office plans relate to this: http://www.bishopgatecoventry.co.uk/ ...but it's a bit of a shocker. Hopefully will be revisited.

You can keep up to date with plans and proposals at skyscrapercity.com - the coventry thread is here: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1553876&page=64 The next big project is Friagate - http://friargatecoventry.co.uk/ - the first building will be going up later this year.

It's trending - http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/ - need to keep up momentum.

PWKH I suspect isn't lying, because he will have known for some time what the accounts look like. My guess is that they will probably look quite healthy. Some will jump on that and claim they are profitable without CCFC, others will hit back and say the accounts cover the period of a big...

And we won't know that until February 2015. The next set of accounts due are for the year ending 31st May 2013, so will cover the period of the Olympics and the whole of the 2012/13 season when we were still playing there. Truth is we don't really know what their financial position is at this...

I sense you are enjoying this. It is true, doesn't seem to be a lot happening there. No concerts planned for 2014 at all from what I can tell.

I think the wording is fine. We are the driving force behind it, so it needed reference our situation specifically, but there is enough there for the general football fan to throw their weight behind it.

Signed. The closer we get to 100K the more it will focus the attention of those that might potentially be in the firing line. Nowt to lose and it takes 30 seconds to do. The cynics can just bore off, it's not as though we're asking people to fly to the moon and back.

I don't care which side of the fence people sit on, a Leicester City side playing at home in our rightful home is an absolute fucking travesty. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse.

It's one defeat in six. Definitely need to bring someone in, but relegation is not on the radar.

Game might well be off tomorrow anyway if we have much more rain. Might not be a bad thing (unless you're planning to go of course).

Indeed. A video with nearly a quarter of a million hits and positive comments from people all over the world and people on here want to ditch it. T&S is a quality football song. Quirky, original and a laugh.

We have been singing T&S for decades (I personally remember it from the mid 80s but others say we sang it in the 60s), West Ham started in about 1998. In fact, they started singing it just after we had made a league visit there and had sang it the entire second half which maybe coincidence but...

The unity was never going to last. Normal service resumes. The needle returns to the start of the song and we all sing along like before....

Not a guarantee no, but they have to have a pretty good reason to turn it down. According the direct.gov 'If you collect 100,000 signatures, your e-petition is eligible to be debated in the House of Commons' and then it goes to a committee. Nothing to lose though surely?
