CT are saying we might get up to £30m from the government and the lottery. I love the arts. I love music and museums and theatre and film. This is going to be right up my street. Literally!

Can we merge the two threads, Nick. I notice one is in Off Topic and one is in Coventry City General Chat. I am posting in two threads and keep flicking between the two.

Live: UK City of Culture 2021 decision - IT IS COVENTRY!!!! First time I think I have ever heard chants of 'Coventry, Coventry' apart from at a football match. Apparently at the train station the announcer came on the tannoy and said 'Coventry have beaten Paisley, Stoke, Sunderland and...

Lovely to see the joy on people's faces.

I just walked the dog. Good job it was dark, cos I was grinning the whole way like a Cheshire cat. My mum is absolutely thrilled.

Lovely to hear someone in a position of prominence saying nice things about our city.

Just tell them we knew the result at 7.15, Houch.

Yep and we can expect many free events and concerts etc. I really cannot wait.

No, 2021 is definitely in three years time, BBR.

Especially if City AND Cov both get promoted this season too!!!

Such great news it's worth two threads!

Yep. It's worth £60m this bid. All we need to do is to get the council to give this £60m to Sisu so they can fook right off.

I am absolutely thrilled so many posters seem so happy with this. Was expecting a lot more negativity. Grendel hasn't appeared yet though with his bah humbug, Coventry is shit spiel.

Yep. I quickly looked to the gathering at Sunderland town hall on the live feed on the net, where everyone stood there with glasses of champagne on ice. The result was announced and several people all suddenly pulled out posters of Jimmy Hill and ripped them up, stamped on them and then set...

I was very surprised to hear that the average age in Coventry is 33, which is 7 years younger than the national average. Guessing a lot of that is down to the student population. Would think students will benefit massively from the flood of events that will now be put on.

Absolutely brilliant news!! A real boost to the area and to the arts and to the downtrodden people of this ancient, historic city. Must confess I shed a tear of joy.
