Haven't posted for some time but this is great news and can only do the club good - well done to everyone who worked for this. It might be the trigger or the club to change owners and move on. Went to the Borehamwood match with my son on Sunday and it was great to be back and we will go to the Stoke game and some other games if we can.Great news for Coventry. It seems it will be a real boost to the City. Can anyone see any benefits for the football club?
Well apparently, the result was announced at half past 7, but Coventry already knew the outcome at 7:15.Only if our bid was received 15mins late

Yep and we can expect many free events and concerts etc.This can only be good for Cov ! A lot of creative people are now going to be able to bring to the fore all the great things about the City ! This will bring tourism, dollars galore, infrastructure improvement and benefits to all. Fuck you Adolf, the Phoenix is rising !
Just tell them we knew the result at 7.15, Houch.So tempted to go on the Sunderland fans page and say "In yer faces, Makems!!" :emoji_smiling_imp:
I just walked the dog. Good job it was dark, cos I was grinning the whole way like a Cheshire cat.I'm surprised at how good this made me feel. It's a fantastic result.
Cov City had it’s most exciting times ( arguably;-)) in the sixties when the whole city was doing well. I’ve got to believe that there will be some spin off, even it is the feel good factor of things happening and Coventry being in the limelight. That promotes identity with the city and maybe that spills into identity with the club. Increased crowds. I cannot seeing it being negative for the club.
I'm sure the council won't want the club buggering off again when the spotlight is on the city. Gives the city more exposure so might attract a new buyer, although its not until 2021 so hopefully we're rid of SISU by then.Can anyone see any benefits for the football club?
Checkatrade trophy 2017 ?
CT are saying we might get up to £30m from the government and the lottery.Excellent news. Have to say I thought it was a bit of a joke when it was first announced we were bidding but credit where its due.

Thing is, we all know Coventry has been shit, but it has been trying to pull itself up by the bootstraps and obtain a positive image.Well done Coventry. It may be a bit rough around the edges but what city isn’t. A city full of history, culture and the natural choice in my opinion. Well done all involved with the bid looking forward to visiting some of the shows (whatever they may be) with the family.
There is only one entity I do not wish to see benefit from this City of Culture win and that is Wasps, who are in no way, shape or form anything to do with Coventry.Very good news I was just listening to Vik Minnett and she was choked up but always one idiot who texted in and said something about two bits of good news this and wasps winning run but she straight away said about cov rugby and the sky blues.
Lovely to see the joy on people's faces.
Two entities for me. Wasps plus Sisu.There is only one entity I do not wish to see benefit from this City of Culture win and that is Wasps, who are in no way, shape or form anything to do with Coventry.
Yeah, but to be fair to Sisu, they are not pretending to care about this city, or that of being a part of this city.Two entities for me. Wasps plus Sisu.

We have the new water park, restaurants popping up everywhere. There are two more hotels being built and another cinema and now we also have a climbing wall and an escape room in the city centre. All going to make the place more appealing for visitors.
We should all thoroughly applaud this.
Cue Grendel.Absolutely. I was over last Friday night for an event at the sports centre and parked in Cox Street and have to say it’s probably the first time I’ve been in that corner of the city centre since HR and walking from the train station and I couldn’t believe how much better it was than I remember. The walk from the train station into the centre as well. Came over on the train earlier in the year with the kids when they were on holiday to go to the motor museum (which is awesome) and the art gallery and again couldn’t believe how improved the walk is. Again was at IKEA the other week and again the area around there is looking good. Been over a couple of times to go to creams and again much improved area although clearly more work to do. It’s a city on the up when you compare it to even five years ago.
Still some polishing to do but I don’t get why some people strive to be down on Coventry all the time.
Personally I think it’s a great city.
Cue Grendel.
