Let’s build houses there!

 

[GaryJones]

Lets build a football Stadium there!
It will hold at least 1,500.

 

[ajsccfc]

Whatever is built there ought to have some kind of commemorative plaque for me for my pool record of winning every league game I played for them.

Student housing would be better as there's a real shortage in the city.

r.a.o.b?

 

[Otis]

The city should buy it and turn it into a Coventry City supporters club.

 

[chiefdave]

Come as a shock? CT on the ball as usual. Sure it was on here months ago it was going to be closed.

 

[hill83]

Yeah it was in the pipeline for closure for ages. It’s just happened earlier than expected.

r.a.o.b?

Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes.

Shame it's closing, always found it OK whenever I used it, decent pint and a lot cleaner than most of the other pubs around there.

 

[skyblueinBaku]

I always park there when I go up to a game. I'll have to find somewhere else now.

Real pedant alert...it's only an acronym when you can make a word out of it, otherwise it's just an initialism...

You make me look like a rank amateur! Which is why I'm giving you a like. It's stretching the definition of a word if you can call NASA one.

Sad day. My Grandad was a member of the Buffs. Think it was a less serious lodge type thing that raised a fair amount for charity in it’s time.

Yeah that’s right. He showed me his medals and other stuff from it the other week. Didn’t know anything about it until then. He said that if anyone spoke about religion or politics they’d be turfed out. That’s my kind of place!

Sounds awesome. Sad I’m only hearing about this when it closes.

Always wanted to be in the illuminati.

Isn't that kinda the opposite?

Ditto - went on many of their outings as a kid to Alton Towers and the like. One of the members was a bus driver, and he used to drive the bus down

Took me a while to find it but I knew I had this somewhere, my Grandad's membership certificate 1917.

That’s exactly what they want you to think.
