I'm sorry; there's an Arena Park Library??
What a waste of public money for a service no one uses. Clearly done for political reasons to support the Arena project at inception.
Can't believe they didn't move out as soon as the initial 10 year deal ended.
Libraries have had their day, I used them a great deal until I started work, but times are different now.

I'm surprised no one had demanded that the club's rent increase yet
The current cost of running the library is £218,000 a year - made up of £110,850 rent, a £17,222 lease service charge and £47,082 business rates, as well as cleaning and energy costs.
Coventry City FC currently pays a reported £100,000 a year rent to play at the neighbouring Ricoh Arena.
So we're comparing £110,850 a year to £100,000 a year. But of course if we compare the total amounts paid since both facilities opened we have paid far more as we were being charged £1.2m a year.
And of course on the current deal we get the Ricoh for 23 days. That's £4,347.83 a day. The library works out at £310.50 a day.
If the library is moving is it worth looking at for a bigger club shop / ticketing office?
Not at £110k a year
No idea how big the library is but we might not need the whole thing. Could it be split into smaller units but still be bigger than where we are?
Its on the end isn't it? You could potentially put ticket windows in for use on matchdays.
It will probably end up as a fast food place or coffee shop with wi-fi.

Done a quick search. Unit 4B was available for £61,750 a year. Think that's roughly the same size as our shop.
Interestingly also saw a advert to lease our old club shop at the Ricoh, and there's another similar space around the other side which is up for lease.
Hmm, I wonder if that is where the gym was?
That was upstairs wasn't it? Looks like its a mirror image of the old shop but on the other side so if you walked straight through the atrium (assuming you can get out the other end) it would be on the left as you go out.

Or they could ask central government to pay? That would make it ok then.
I can see it now. A free book token with every childs season ticket.It's an odd choice of story for the Wasps PR machine to push out via the CET. I suppose we are now expected to be grateful for what we get.
The Telegraph's promotion of them is shameless...surely the franchise are paying them A LOT of money?
The hypocrisy of the telegraph makes their campaign to bring the club back even more of a farce.
And so they should give good PR to the local football team. They should have ignored the franchise like the Northampton press ignored us.CCFC must have paid the CET more the other week. When the CET questioned the PR from London Midland as to why Wasps matches were choose for the train trial.
Of course there was hell to pay on here until we realised the CET were actually defending the club. Then it was "nothing to see here"
