    Ricoh Arena train station update

    So what were your expectations for a project that was announced in 2013 was facing delays for various reasons and now won't be completed until 2017 at the earliest? Mine wouldn't be for it to be completed and running at full capacity in the first month of 2016. But hey, maybe I'm the stupid one.

    Ricoh Arena train station update

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't there funding for the station's both at the Ricoh and Bermuda by way of grants and both CCC and N&BBC were both faced with the choice of build and use the grants by a certain point in time or lose it? Meaning that either the stations wouldn't...

    Ricoh Arena train station update

    Unless you know different when the upgrades are completed that's still the plan as far as I'm aware. Has something changed on that front?

    Ricoh Arena train station update

    Are the CCC and N&BBC responsible for the rolling stock, operating the rail service and electrification of the line? An SAG is actually made up of several bodies including the emergency services. Again are they responsible for rolling stock, operating the rail service and electrification of the...

    Ricoh Arena train station update

    Hate to be the bearer of the truth but no council is to blame whether that be CCC or N&BBC. Both councils have done what they're supposed to have done it's the electrification of the line that's been the issue, or rather lack of. That's down to central government. It's them who have failed to...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Doing my best not to get involved in the whole radar argument because to be honest it's a load of nonsense whichever side you're shouting from. What I will do though is give a brief opinion on it and say no more. IMO we're not being talked about anymore or any less than any other season since...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Had a seat to. About block 20 IIRC. Maybe we went through the little hitler turnstile. Yes the cover was pretty shit, I don't think John even finished it it just seemed like days. I thought that the support group they brought over from America was gash too. Can't beat the chilli peppers though.

    Joe Cole

    Haynes needs to go out for a seasons loan in the conference. People seem to forget how good he looked in the youth set up, jumping up to the first team was to soon for him. He may well have to take a step or two back so he can move forward again. He looks like a player who's lost all confidence...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Well. They had bins by the turnstiles when we went in and we had to either drink and eat everything that was in our rucksacks or chuck it in the bin. That's my memory of it anyway.

    Joe Cole

    Told you before. I never miss a midweek game and not only is Saturday a rare free Saturday for me the ticket is a birthday present from my daughters. Assuming I have your permission to attend that is. I know you're chief of the fan police.

    Joe Cole

    I was there Tuesday night will be there on Saturday to. Last time before that was Northampton in the cup. I think dinosaurs have been extinct long before that. At least before Joe Cole was born at least. Unless you're trying to tell me Jurassic Park was a documentary.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Not just booze though is it Dave. I've only been to one concert at the Ricoh and that was the RHCP's not long after it first opened. No food or drink of any description was allowed through the turnstiles and the prices inside IIRC was considerably higher than on match days. A small bottle of...

    Who's subsidising them?

    You tell me. You clearly know.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Well they have 2 and it's only January, still a chance to get another act in. Is the gaming festival on again? Also didn't I read that the MTV festival is secured for three years so they have at least one already booked for the next two years if I read that correctly.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    I'm in my mid forties and my favourite types of music are thrash metal and punk. To be honest the MTV festival could have the six biggest selling acts of the last five years and I'd probably still never heard of them. All I do know is that MTV is a leading music channel, they've been running...

    Big announcement tomorrow - Ricoh Arena

    Well, that's what was reported at the time. What are you basing your figure of £50K on? Any reference?

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    Have I said they didn't? But you compare it to the previous couple of years there's a real improvement. People can be in denial if they want but it doesn't change the fact that the the bowl for the first time in years has big music events for the first time in years. How significant that will be...

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    So the announcement of a big concert and securing a two day festival isn't moving forward? ACL when we were at Northampton upping their game consisted of Leicester reserve games IIRC. Not banging any drum just pointing out what should be obvious to anyone. SISU were very specific with AEG. Have...
