I don’t think the people of Leamington Spa like it being referred to as a suburb of Coventry. |  | |  |

I've got mates in Earlsdon, just off Cov city centre. I wouldn't say its pretty but there's a an awful lot of local character and charm and a really as you say it's handy for a lot of places. In a very real sense, Coventry is the Ipswich of the midlands. |  |

the Medieval stuff got torn down by developers in the inter-war period, the Luftwaffe finished most of what was left. It's mostly the Brutalist stuff that is "heritage" these days. |  |

The one thing I like about Coventry is that they have the most dangerous mentalist ring road on the planet. |  |

But the Stratford-upon-Avon suburb is quite a theatre district... And Birmingham Airport is almost as close to Coventry city centre as it is to Birmingham city centre, Coventry has two cathedrals as well. So if you are looking for comparisons with a team that has never won the League or a European trophy... |  |
