Sadly due to the cost Andy. It’s like anything these days, if people don’t use facilities and hardly contribute to running costs then it’s bound to happen.

 

It’s far too seasonal , you said it yourself really. It wasn’t geared up for all season swimming…..Freezing in summer at its best . We used to go as local nippers in the 50’s and 60’s boy was that top board high!

 

Yes it is seasonal, but was virtually mothballed every September to the end of April. The summer i worked there 1980. The water heating system had not worked for at least 15 years, the filtration was about 50% and i had to poor the chlorine in every evening from 5 gallon drums, then i had to vac all the leaves and other crap out every morning before we opened. My father work for the baths department and the maintenance budget for the lido was Zero , all the money was pushed to Ilkley lido.

 

Big job, it’s was a money pit to maintain I bet?

 

I agree pal just there to jump on the glory bandwagon then

 

I think the problems with the Ricoh Arena right now should put to bed any ideas of sharing a ground.

 

Not really relevant though as the state of the pitch hasn't really anything to do with the football or rugby teams. As neither have used it since May and Wasps first home game isn't until Sept 17.

It's a commonwealth games issue that Coventry City knew was coming up, but rather than request to play elsewhere or have the first month away from home only, they've done sod all and are now postponing matches left right and centre.

 

Sounds like broken promises were made to them.

 

That's the worrying thing.
