stlucifer Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Very disappointed. I really thought it would be between us and Swansea as the English have won the previous ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branniganm Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Despite what I said before, what a pile of shite ! You knew the result at the start of the programme when he said " just look at the crowds in Coventry " Anyhow " If you can meet triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same ...

TopCat Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Bit of a gutter but oh well. Can be proud of our bid. Need to remember that winning this is being damned with faint praise at best. Essentially the UK government is looking for what ‘city’ needs the money most. As in where is the biggest shithole where our money will make the biggest difference. Coventry wins. Congrats.

Would be great to see the new arts centre built on the land behind the old Arnotts building. Theres only one chance that will happen now, and it starts with 'N' and another letter. so not only are we still saddled with the big feckin JD sports branding, looks like we will be the Paisley (no happening) 2021 stadium for the forseeable.

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Gutted though I thought ether Paisley or Swansea to win after all an English City Hull won the last round for an English City won Coventry won my first thought was political bullshit but that is the UK for you.

Deekthebuddie Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 We made a good bid but the odds where a bit against Paisley- due to officially being a town. We now need to get on with it and hopefully can keep up with some of the projects in progress to spruce things up and put Paisley on the map, not just for being shortlisted for city of culture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Coventry "won" because it was thought they had a better case, just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
