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.

We only bloody won!!!!!!! Whooohooooo!!!!!!

I do think it may well be Paisley win though. Apparently it is one of the very poorest areas of Scotland and desperately needs a boost.

Yeah, they said it's like a football crowd chanting. Specials music is playing in the background.

I think all Coventrians should be backing the bid and willing us to win.

Well done. Apparently there is almost football style chanting going on at the Belgrade at the moment, with cries of 'Coventry, Coventry!'

Yep. Would say in terms of fond memories that has to be worth more than £1.6m. It's something you can't put a price on.

It was ridiculous. Had never seen anything like it at the time.

Will watch just for the bid result. Really, really hope Cov win.

Calculation is that it drew in an extra 1.4m visitors for Hull.

Stoke are the least favourite with the bookies.

A £60m boost to the local economy is not to be sniffed at.

It's live on the One Show, 7pm.

I'm really excited by all this. Worth £60m to whichever city wins. Paisley favourites with one bookie, Coventry favourite with another. Fingers crossed.

You light the blue touchpaper and that's what happens. The guy is a complete clown.
