Attending a Wasps game en masse could easily backfire. A few drunken twats could confirm all the worst prejudices against football fans and end in embarrassment. If some Wasps fans are arrogant and looking down on us because of bad grammar, imagine what would happen if some twats got drunk and...

Hardly, but I thought any Wasps fan would laugh at that just after you mentioning them looking down at the grammar of city fans. Don't feed them.

I don't know, but it seems that Wasps have tons of browny points for sponsoring the bid and offering the Ricoh for events. Explains a lot of what is going on. We have no positive contribution as far as I know.

A good start would be to spell Coventry correctly. You are only feeding them.

I enjoyed my 16 th birthday in the Dyers ( said it was my 18 th ). Dyers Now has a sign saying " bikers welcome ".

I was there recently and was thinking how run down it was. Years ago I used to in there and it was clean - maybe now the products are better, but the outside appearance has gone down hill.

I'm definitely interested...

Time will tell, but I remain sceptical ...

The Broomfield Tavern is a wreck at the moment ( don't know whether it is still trading - looked closed to me ), but I think if I had money I would maybe looking at the possibility of buying it... Might be worth a punt...

It is "my" area - where my family comes from and near where I grew up, so for me it would be re-connecting as you say. I now live far away and can see me have problems getting a ticket - good for a hedge fund, but not very 'democratic' in the sense of all fans being able to get to see the team.

It is a pretty built up area - true - but not much room for car parks springing up. Filling the ground wouldn't be a problem ( with a reasonable team ) because of the large population near by. People from further away would have problems if they came by car.

I still think it may be a dead end. We get stuck in a tight ground presumably depending on the other half of the partnership wanting to expand or allowing expansion should we need it. Even if get to around 15000 that may not be enough and with success we will be too constrained. I would at best...

It is a long enough walk to many of the places you name and although car drivers could exit the ring road at many points, they can only enter at 1.

Says a lot regarding our predicament doesn't it. A big contrast to dragging the home city to a European Court with a JR. big PR value for Wasps. Pity we can't use the club's heritage and Brand to contribute in some way - to show that we are still around..

Us or them? Have we paid in? Don't understand ..

Have we offered to help the City of Coventry with their bid to be a Culture Capital? If Wasps can be involved why can't we - despite ongoing crap? By the time we would be culture city the current Problems won't exist ( or we won't ). Deadline for bids coming soon.

Yes, I bought it off you guys in 1997. I was proud of it, especially when I was working on an Irish stand...

Maybe it is. But, I am not interested in Wasps or ACL. My complaint is that we lack leadership, vision, commitment etc.. The others appear to have some of those things, but it is not up to them to address our problems. I thought we may see a change with CA, but he has disappointed. I just...

SISU are masters of negative PR, look where it has got us. In a corner looking like losers. IMo we have to change takt and do something which shows we are an integral part of the Coventry sports szene. JRs and weak leadership don't get us anywhere. Put something on the table. Send CA back to...

Yes they can do PR, but it helps if there is something positive to do PR about. All for that. Just waiting or rather hoping, that SISU offer something - commitment, conciliatory gesture, support for the culture City application - anything positive to use as pr.
