RUGBY club Wasps are the ‘new pride of Coventry’, according to promotion for a forthcoming key ‘Coventry Economic Forum 2017’ event for the great and good.
It will partly explore how ‘Brand Coventry’ should be marketed to the world, to bring in tourists, businesses and inward investment.
The high-profile event at Coventry University on March 24 will bring together key players from business and the public sector, including organisations with strong links with Coventry City Council.
well after reading the article I'm still not sure where wasps come into it.
it looks to me as if someone who wrote the invitation email follows wasps as there is no real connection between the event and wasps other than the last part.
is this yet another play by wasp pr teams to dig out CCFC and Cov Rugger club?
Or are we to believe that wasps are saving Coventry future?
Its an economic event,
I think people would rather listen to the 'rise' of Wasps within Coventry rather than the 'fall' of CCFC.
Imagine the Tim Fisher lecture on "how things can go badly wrong if you have incompetent management"
I see there has been a Civic gathering.
Les has done an article in the Observer .
I didn't quite see it through to the end but wonder If he referenced the accounts ?
The occasion will also mark a handover of the City Of Culture mantle from Hull (2017) to Coventry (2021) with the Lord Mayors of both cities in attendance.
