Coventry Council are experts in getting involved in things they don't understand i.e. Ricoh Stadium and Coventy Rugby Club at The Butts.
They had to get involved with the Ricoh, otherwise the project would have gone under and its proven to be an asset. Interestingly, the current Tory council were the opposition back then and were dead against the council putting money into it.
What have they done with the Rugby club? I wasn't aware the council were involved with them.
