Bit of an odd one. His record isn't great and it seems he picked up a fairly major injury just as he was breaking through. He would have been in the West Brom youth team when TM was there so hopefully he's here because TM knows what he is like and believes he can perform at this level.

Like how he's decided to stand in the middle of the matchday crowd control barriers at the station to do the report.

So presumably that ensured all that was included in a water tight contract and London Midland will be heavily penalised for failing to provide the contracted service. Or could it be that, as London Midland have stated today, they told CCC this might occur 5 years ago. [/COLOR]

Might pop in and moan at them about how crap their internet access is when you're in the Ricoh.

I may be wrong but I can't imagine many people getting the train for a day out at Tesco and Decathlon. And surely if the station is for the benefit of the likes of Tesco they should be the ones paying for it?

Simon must be having a field day, this story is the gift that keeps on giving. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see this picked up by the nationals. London Midland have had their say: But its OK as apparently Wasps are experts at running trains and are going to sort it out for them:

https://www.virgintrains.co.uk/stations-destinations/regions/west-midlands/coventry Go to the map towards the bottom and then click on parking, gives you three options.

Not sure there's a lot of other options to locate the store close to the ground. I think someone (Waggott?) said they tried to get a bigger unit but that was all that was available.

I reckon it was Tim Fisher, its his new plan for raising more revenue.

Yes, strange this was never mentioned before. In fact Cllr McNicholas who is deputy cabinet member for transport previously said:

That's not good. Especially as they were tweeting this an hour ago If you're on twitter might be worth tweeting the club, that seems to get a pretty quick response. Hopefully there's no problem with your second order.

Don't worry, Cllr Maton is on the case. Just to point out these are actual quotes and not something I've made up for a cheap laugh. and my personal favourite

After losing at the weekend a win is needed, don't want to get into a run of losses. Now with two players out for several months a win is even more important. Lose and the doom and gloomers will go into overdrive, that negativity can transfer to the players. Think it will be a good day, 2-0 to...

Exactly, at the very least there should be a mechanism for the grant to be revoked and public money returned if certain key services aren't delivered.

Well in that case I look forward to away fans being moved much closer to the home fans as we have been repeatedly told it is the SAG that have blocked that happening.

Willis needs surgery. Doesn't really say what either of the injurys are. Not good news for either. Need a win on Monday to stop the doom and gloom merchants going to town.

The original plan had 2 trains an hour as the regular service, that service was to be extended to 3 carriages on event days with an additional shuttle service between Coventry and Ricoh stations running 2 trains per hour of 6 carriages each. At some point that's been massively scaled back.

As I said it is led by the council, more specifically Building Control. From the CCC website: Maybe the Telegraph could ask on what basis the SAG have made this decision. I can't see that it would impede access for fire or ambulance crews so that leaves the council, police and St Johns (an...

But the original proposal, when requests for public money were being made, had capacity for close to 2.5K passengers an hour. Now we're told maximum of 75 - that's a pretty big difference so what has happened there? If London Midland had paid to build the station and were saying it is low...

Nobody has said the council run the rail network. What has been said is that public money has been given to this scheme on the basis of a level of service which will now not be provided. Would you not expect there to be some sort of safeguard where public money is involved? Also if you actually...
