    The top three places you miss most from Coventry city centre

    There's was an Our Price on the corner but that wasn't big. There was Spin-A-Disc on the opposite side after it moved from the lower precinct. Are you talking about the one where Dixons used to be? Can't remember what that was called. There was loads. Smiths had their own record store opposite...

    Completely forgotten about that, what happened to it? Surprised no mention of this

    The top three places you miss most from Coventry city centre

    All the record stores. I could quite happily spend a Saturday just going round them without going in to any other shops. In particular Spin-a-disc and Soundhouse (especially the brunette that worked in Soundhouse when I was about 16 :drool: Going to Poster Place and getting tickets. The door...

    Regis Tribute on Sunday

    Anyone who would like to go seems that you now don't need tickets. Guessing because of people who aren't travelling due to the weather.

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Cost of building the Ricoh was £113m, adjust that for inflation and today that would be £165m Wasps paid £6.54m, adjust that for inflation and today that would be £7.13m Now I'm not a maths genius but I'm pretty sure £165m and £7m aren't equitable amounts.

    Any update on baker?

    I'm happy to go with whatever Robins thinks on this. Doubt he'll sign elsewhere, would have happened by now. So if Robins thinks he's fit enough and / or we get more injuries then that's fine with me.

    Any update on baker?

    Presume its a reference to when he signed to play in the Indian league. Robins later said they'd had talks about him coming here but he got offered silly money to go to India. Can't blame him really, especially given his age.

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Shame Wasps owners have given no indication of feeling the same way since the day they rolled in to the city.

    Wasps current finances & hope

    With not a care for all those people who have supported them for years and had their club moved miles away.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Lincoln City Match Thread - Saturday 3rd Mar

    Are Lincoln already here and staying overnight? If not surely there's a doubt about them getting here. There's all sorts of problems still on the roads and its still snowing. Met Office have extended the weather warning to cover Cov for most of tomorrow. They've sold 3K tickets haven't they...

    Copthorne Park

    I've said before the site over the road from that, so south from the business park would be decent. Farmland at the moment I think. TRU would be even better.

    Copthorne Park

    Get a Nandos in there as well and we'd have our pick of the British players.

    Club Accounts 2016/2017

    Trying to be realistic other than finding a billionaire that doesn't mind throwing millions at the club what is the fix here? We're trying to be self sustaining, hard to argue against from a business perspective, in a field where a large number of our competitors are happy to rack up huge losses...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Lincoln City Match Thread - Saturday 3rd Mar

    The pitch should be fine, well as fine as it has been recently. The bigger issue will be safety around the ground but unless it gets a lot worse ACL should be on top of that. Matches have been postponed in the past over concerns for travelling fans. That could be an issue.

    Club Accounts 2016/2017

    The 76p in the £ thing will be thrown around as fact now despite it immediately being proved to be wrong.

    Mediator appointed..

    Theoretically the court can order the whole deal to be unwound and the sale process started again. So Wasps would get back the money they paid the council and ownership would switch back to the council. There would then be an open sale process. That in practice is highly unlikely to happen, the...

    Maplin and Toys R Us next to go pop!

    Only been in Toys R Us a couple of times in recent years but they seem to put zero effort into the shopping experience. As a toy shop they should make it fun so kids are begging their parents to take them. Maplin is just too expensive, you only go there if its a last resort.
