BG

 

[Nick]

Got any examples?

This could be the making of "things I hate about Cov" post!

 

[Malaka2]

Yhr shops are rubbish, the women are fat and there is nowhere good for old farts to go of a night

 

[Phoenix]

and where else is so fine may I ask?

 

[Bunnykins]

I LOVE Coventry.

 

[covlad]

I love my city of coventry

 

[JuanDan petrolman]

crap buildings

city centre thats dead except for a few crappy bars and clubs playing shit music filled with ugly women and stupid blokes out for a fight.

not much in the way of culture

everythings being rebuilt or repaired all the time

crap shops

Cathedral lanes

............and thats just to start

 

[Millo]

To be fair the nightlife is shite, theres only a handful of places that are decent and if you go out pretty regular you get bored of them all fairly quickly.

 

[Nick]

I know what you mean, you have to have a few months off and then go out again for it to be any good.

look how much nicer broadgate used to look before that shitty shopping centre moved in

That is quality, I have never seen that before and it is a lot different! :shock:

 

[Millo]

Where are all the goths crowding round?

 

[JuanDan petrolman]

exactly, no canopy equals no goths

 

[BeefCurtains]

Coventry is a fucking dump full of cretins.

Lots of crappy old buildings, shite night out, fly overs, the mian attraction for shopping is Primark....says it all really.

Are you fucking serious ?

 

[Nick]

Yes, I fucking am

I had never seen it before and it looks a lot better than the shopping centre does?

 

[JuanDan petrolman]

kick him off nick, he said your mums a nob

It isn't.

 

[Nick]

Random

You're joking right? Looks much better now.

 

[Nick]

You're joking right? Looks much better now.

Are you on drugs?

 

[Samo]

I think it's really vibrant now that they've put Cathedral Lanes to better use and opened up the square to markets and attractions. Looks a site better than some grass and is now a productive space.

 

[vow]

It isn't.

Haha, Samo, fair play for sticking up for the City!
But, holy gadzooks thats some random bump!

 

[Grendel]

Odd thread but compared to most cities it's appalling.

Yeah, but what did you think to it in 2008?

Well Adolf and 50's n 60's town planners have a lot to answer but in general it's no better or worse than cities of a similar size.

 

[Samo]

Not much. Are we picking random years?

 

[Grendel]

Well Adolf and 50's n 60's town planners have a lot to answer but in general it's no better or worse than cities of a similar size.

It is. Nottingham and Leicester are similar size and are vastly superior. The retail choice is greater and the footfall so much greater. Coventry pays homage to Stalingrad.

It's when you bumped it from

Stop comparing us to Stalingrad. It's ridiculous.

 

[Otis]

Tend to agree. Certainly on par with so many cities and towns I see on my travels up and down the country.

 

[Grendel]

To be fair it's pretty offensive to Stalingrad.

Wolverhampton and Stoke.

 

[clint van damme]

because the council are cretins who haven't got a clue.

No council in their right mind hands a flag ship town centre building over to Primark if they're serious about doing something to revive the city centre.

Look at their latest bit of genius, (apart from teaming up with an out of town rugby club to try and kill the Citys 130 year old football team).
Friargate - looks good, coming along nicely, only problem is the rail companies might be cutting Services from Coventry to London but no one thought to check! Whole thing could be (another) white elephant!
