Doesn't almost everyone?My mum hates HS2 because 'muh countryside' i hate HS2 as it potentially helps Birmingham City. We are not the same.
There was something done around 15years ago wasn't there that basically made us subservient to Birmingham or that was the effect,A government initiative I think with sweeteners like the money's there to take now, it won't be next year, Our darling Anne had that decision to make.Just realised this new funding is on top of that i mentioned previously, still think something that was otherwise planned has been leapt on by BCFC rather than the funding being because of BCFC.
Coventry City Council needs much better leadership, while its experimenting with tiny VLR trams Birmingham is building a massive network with funding from the same combined authority. Make it make sense.
Do trains from the HS2 Solihull Interchange potentially benefit the CBS Arena? Can't say i've looked into it too much.
Hate it that Birmingham get all this money and other parts of the West Mids don't, Birmingham council is bankrupt, bins havnt been emptied for months and the City apart from the centre is a shithole. I don't think Coventry is too bad apart from the City Centre. Building this sports quarter won't guarantee anything.
Our whole council are dinosaurs. We are not one of the 7 core cities outside of London though. These cities get a lot more funding than the restBut a lot of that is down to what it asks for. Coventry doesn't ask for anything, it's got morons like Jim O'Boyle in its cabinet.
Well yeh this is it, those fuckers in Birmingham are sticking a whole new tramline in and we can't even get a decent service on an existing line to the CBS. Comically shit.I don't think so. The starting point for the CBS is to make it better connected to Coventry to begin with, it is an appalling service currently.
They don't, the definition doesn't exist when it comes to allocating government funding. The Core Cities are a lobby group.Our whole council are dinosaurs. We are not one of the 7 core cities outside of London though. These cities get a lot more funding than the rest

It does but equally LAs shouldn’t have to go with the begging bowl to the treasury for every little transport project.
The metro has been worked on for yonks now. seems like its never gonna get doneThey don't, the definition doesn't exist when it comes to allocating government funding. The Core Cities are a lobby group.
The WMCA funding from central government is essentially based on what the former EU funding allocations were for the areas covered by it. These will be based on formulas that usually weight heavily in favour of areas of deprivation, so as a result of that you might see cities get more money (because they need it).
In any event, Coventry gets a piss poor deal from it:

Just wait till Mike Ashley kicks us out of the CBS, we will be grateful for the improved public transport links to Brums new stadium.Wagner was on record saying unless transport links from New Street/City Centre up to the site of the proposed new ground were to improve it was very unlikely to happen - So he has been crawling up the rectum of government figures/politicians to get funding for it to be built and it has worked
It is being dressed up as an 'Investment for the West Midlands' - I fail to see how people in Coventry/Wolverhampton etc. will benefit, it is an investment for Birmingham City Football Club
Tbf I think we've routinely argued that all our new stadium projects, both real and imagined, would have a benefit for the local economy
What year is this?
Was terrible at the CBS when we beat them 4-1 and has looked shit on numerous occasions when I’ve watched Plymouth
You better watch out……
That hand looks a bit big.You better watch out……
There’s hope for us and moving Collins on then!!Can't believe someones paying actual money for him. Makes Brad Collins looks like Peter Shilton
