The council now "doesn't know" when it will be open: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/ricoh-arena-railway-station-still-10155201
Have you any Info from Warwick Council re Bermuda Park Issue Simon?
Does that have any baring on the line as a whole?
what is the bermuda park issue?
They are infested with triangles.
I dont think Heads will roll, it seems like they just roll Maton out to effectively say "fuck you" every time
It worries me a great deal that he may be the next council leader. Is he or is he not a complete and utter b**end?
Utter shambles is right, councils should manage what they know, roads, schools, bin collections.

To be honest, everytime he speaks or is interviewed in the paper he may as well just be doing this to everybody:
The thing is who are they answerable to? Seems like they can just say what they want and do what they want
tbf, they ought to be OK with public transport too...
Did you see him on about council tax yesterday. Apparently its not deceptive to not tell people council tax may go up if we join the combined authority as the bit that goes to CCC won't go up. I'm sure when everyone talks about how much their council tax bill is they always split it up into how much goes to each organisation :jerkit:
I hope not, they must have a better option than him!

They aren't answerable to anyone. The turnout in local elections is stupidly low and how many people are actually paying attention to what they are doing? Even something that I would class as a relatively big story like the sale of the Ricoh passes most people by other than the vaguest of details.
Isn't one of the 'benefits' of the combined authority that they get more control over local transport?
I thought Maton had a bit of support on here. After all, wasn't their a template going round begging him not to sell the Ricoh to CCFC?
I believe that was Mutton not Matson?
Oh and it was not to sell to Sisu.
I'll say this for Mutton. I may have been critical of his political nous, but hindsight makes me respect him for at least being upfront about his beliefs, which is more than can be said for many others.
Guess it's a case of be careful what you wish for, but I wish he was still in charge. Oh for some straight talking.
Funny how all those that voted in this council are their biggest critics.
If they didn't like the way they ran things then they should have voted differently.
BTW I never voted for them.
Can't see it making much difference for them or us really.Me too.
At least if the station doesn't open it may put a few Wasps fans off going.

We haven't had a station up till now.
If it had been running and then they closed it down then maybe there would have been some issue's
It does open up a fast train from Euston, and then hop on a connection to the Ricoh. If a club were imaginative you could also sell packages of train ticket and match ticket at a discount when combined.
But yeah, tbh no idea how popular it'd be. If Wasps fans are starting routines however, then it's easier to hook them than us who've all got used to not having a station, whether we like it or not!
That's what I mean, it is like he is rolled out just to try and patronise people.
FWIW I voted Green...
Same here, but I think it's right wing fascism you need if you want trains on time.
BNP next time.
