Well it wasn't the land where the Ricoh is. That land was brought within the city boundary in 1928.

Don't start this shit, you'll have NW point out Highfield Road wasn't in Coventry when it was built.

62% believe Coventry is in warwickshire...38% in West Midlands.
What's the better that most of the votes for West Midlands were from warwickshire residents, and most of the warwickshire votes from Coventry residents?

When I was a kid I was brought up in Nuneaton until I was about 10. We went to Coventry every weekend to visit family. We would go up the A444 nearly every time. As you got to the railway bridge at the start of the Foleshill road you could see the welcome to Coventry sign. Then as you went under the bridge you could see the big metal gates on the right that had the old gasworks behind them. Did Coventry end at the back gardens that ran alongside the gasworks or was the land always inside Coventry before the land was used to build the stadium?

The land the gasworks was on was in Coventry since 1928.
So unless your over 95 years old it would have certainly been in Coventry when you was a kid!

Surely this is a non story? Councillors are politicians, and politicians will do everything to show themselves in the best possible light; and take credit when they deserve little. Has anyone ever tried to deny the nature of the self-serving beast?
If, by highlighting this acknowledged fact, there's a scurrilous insinuation that such egotistical behaviour proves lying, cheating and wrongdoing are rife; then that's a preposterously tenuous association.
Yesterday, a number of threads highlighted what appeared to be diametrically opposite statements from some SISU officers, which go roundly uncondemned by certain posters; who simultaneously appear to revel in spinning conspiracy theories that appear either irrelevant or manifestly insignificant

Yes, that's right because i went fishing for percentages on a non story because I am that boring. But if that's what your into then you go for it. You'll probably have more time to look for boring results this morning and quote some more figures as your train spotting will be called off due to fog.

I've always wondered who decided to call the university and complex after Warwick rather than the city. Seems a bit odd.

As most of the University lies within the Coventry Boundary it was odd. Perhaps they thought it was more highbrow

I've had people stop in their cars as I've been walking in Warwick asking me where the University is! And these are the brightest and the best

I used to live in Hawkesbury Village (exhall) and used to "fight to the death" as it were that it was in Coventry - purely because I didn't want to be compared with the BEDDUFF folk so I would be pretty hypocritical if I was to now suggest that area wasn't classed as Coventry to me! lol
Coventry and Warwickshire is a strange one, seeing as Warwickshire sits around more than half of Coventry. Prime example of the confusion is on your address some places class Coventry as Warwickshire, others as West Midlands.
I would have thought Coventry and Warwickshire would be in harmony more than petty arguments about borders etc.

We used to ask people where the beach was .......... that brought out some marvellous reactions.
There's no beach in Coventry or Warwickshire!!! No wonder you got some 'marvellous reactions' if you were asking that!

It's really meant to be the University of Warwickshire, we're just messing people round all over the place which really catches on - open day yesterday, I was giving concerned parents all kinds of bad directions. Balls to them, making the roads busy.
I take it all back!!! My geography is terrible - never knew we were so near the coast!!! LOL! Whoops!!!
