I'm pretty sure you know what I meant by it?It's all the councils fault then ?

All about the attention! Is garlic stick still doing the commerce stuff?And Sandra Garlic. I see C & W Camber of Commerce are all over it as well.

I'll swap Wasps for Rugby in that sentence, and concur.
Rugby League's the obvious thing to try, to fill a stadium.
This whole bollocks about a City of Rugby smacks of wanting to drive football to the margins, as well.
Hearts and minds, that's what it's all about. Alas, we haven't had an owner that's recognised that for, what, 40 years?
Are the council not involved in this project then?
Promote the city using primarily an out of town rugby club? Way to go! Promoting the City but jumping at the chance to be part of Greater Birmingham? They couldn't give a shit about this city. Still, they showed SISU who's boss so the masses are happy. Are we all chipping in for a statue of Lucas? Or is she that arrogant she already has one on order?
Which part is bollocks?
How many Coventyry taxpayers do you think want to be part of Birmingham? There was a point blank refusal to have a referendum. And you talk about failing the community. You talk bollocks!
That's a completely different issue though and nothing to do with what was being discussed. You haven't even asked me my opinion on that subject to know if I'm talking bolocks or not.
Here it is. There should be a referendum. If I was a Coventry registered voter I wouldn't be voting labour next time around for this reason alone.
So like I said. Stop talking bollocks.
Statue of Lucas was clearly a flippant remark which you clearly didn't understand. Birmingham has nothing to do with it? You stated that the remit of the council is to promote the City. So how is that being done by moving to be in Birminghams shadow? It was an example of the council not promoting the city. Again you seem to be struggling. Are Wasps not an out of town rugby club then? Are they not the main sponsor for the City of culture bid? And on that joining in with your promoting the city garbage. The council want/wanted to close Herbert Art Gallery whilst claiming to be a city of culture. They clearly don't give a toss. It's just about their own self promotion which unfortunately is a common theme in politics. Self promotion? Statue of Lucas. It does tie in, just didn't think I'd have to draw you a picture!
Why quote Grendel when we're discussing our views? I have never said it was a white elephant.
I posed questions based on my opinion and you call it bollocks. Now you're upset because I didn't ask what you think that about becoming part of Birmingham. Yet then say it's not relevant, as stated above it ties in.
You don't like what I say nor agree with what I say which is fine. But like you I am entitled to my opinion. Doesn't make it talking bollocks.
It was connected via you saying the Council have an obligation to promote the City which I give an example of that not always being the case. You can't see everything seperately, with every action is a reaction. I give up. I'm not here to win arguments. I express my opinion, which I believe majority of the time I do rationally and objectively looking at the bigger picture. But from now on I will judge things solely not taking into account other things.
This whole bollocks about a City of Rugby smacks of wanting to drive football to the margins, as well.
........ or your bias to the franchise that are called Wasps ?
Completely agree. Unfortunately that's been missed/ignored by many on here.
I would also add, that on the day the council sold their stake in ACL to Wasps, Lucas said then that they wanted Coventry to become the first city of rugby, so this isn't just getting in the bandwagon to help promote the city, but is very much in the driving seat with wasps in wanting to move away from a football city to a rugby city.
Really backs up your point, re marginalising the football club and its supporters.

Is he talking bollocks too then Tony?

No Tony is
So you're saying that it isn't the job of CCC, C & W C of C and local universities to promote the city of Coventry. Interesting.
Not interesting at all
What is interesting is you thinking the electorate will be in the slightest bit interested in this pointless PR stunt. They would, I suspect, as someone tried to point out to you be far more interested in the argument over Greater Birmingham. The comment was made because of your "promote the City" claim. How does this promote the City at all?
I've met some councillors and they all have the same traits. They are small minded. This to me has been done solely to push the football club into the sidelines.
What is really interesting is people like you sitting back and trying to point score while totally failing to see the bigger significance behind an action
Interesting but not surprising
Where have I said that they will be interested? I pointed out that it's their job to promote the city not comented on who's inerested or not.
So CCC, Coventry & Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce (presumably you think Sandra Garlic is a double agent), Coventry University and the University of Warwick are all part of some conspiracy to "push the football club into the sidelines"? Really?
I'll leave the point scoring to you. If you really think that it isn't the job of the bodies involved to be involved in prmoting the city fair enough. Any chance you could give a reason why though?
Well I won't be anticipating this in any way. Complete non-event.
