  • Er, the whole of Hillfields, Wood End, and Willenhall? No offence to any decent people living there but you need to move. Oh yeah and the Skydome. Cos its full of unpleasant characters and the cinema there is shit.
  • Skydome, Somebody should try again!
  • The stupid tent outside Cathedral Lanes.
  • Just dynamite Coventry and start again
  • ikon
  • Yates's. It's a breeding ground for townies. This is the place where the townie coming of age ceremony takes place. The traditional Ben Sherman shirt is exchanged for Burberry and a shite tatoo is bestowed upon them.
  • ikon at about 11.30 on a saturday night
  • The stupid tent outside the Cathedral Lanes shopping centre.
  • The whole of Coventry needs flattening. Even then in the rubble would you notice any difference?
  • All of them that are not part of the Phoenix developments.
  • The whole of hillfields (apart friom the colleseum!)
  • My house or my mates house.
  • WE SERIOSLY NEED A NEW TRAIN STATION CONCIL OPEN YOUR EYES IT IS THE WORST I HAVE SEEN AND FOR A CITY THIS SIZE AND REPUTATION IT IS A JOKE
  • ICON
  • Sainsbury's in the centre.
  • Ikon
  • All the 50's built "GREY" buildings that give Coventry a bad name.
  • Cathedral Lanes
  • Icon. The bouncers are extremely rude, the drink prices are through the roof & the manager who thinks he's David Beckham is a total toss pot. Pull it down like yesterday.
  • The canopy over godiva statue is appalling.
  • Coventry, makes me shudder just thinking about it. Germans didn't do a good enough job in WWII if you ask me. Knock it down and start again cant be any fricking worse. Miserable dump!
  • The Campbell under present management
  • COUNCIL HOUSE WITH THEW COUNCIL STILL IN IT, AND THE CATHEDRAL LANES AND THE CANOPY AND ALL HOUSING ESTATES AND I COULD GO ON..........
  • Cov City Centre in general
  • The stupid 'Neoclassical' entrance to Pool Meadow.
  • THE COUNCIL HOUSE
  • The Lower Precinct (being done)!
  • the ymca building
  • woodlands school
  • King henry V111 skool
  • The ridiculous glass elevator from the precinct to West Orchards shopping centre.
  • Little Park Street Police Station... oops. did i just say that?.. bad boy..
  • The new Cov Uni library is pretty disgusting. The sports centre elephant has to go too!
  • The skydome. Warwick Uni's students union.
  • The Planet nightclub in Cox street
  • already been done in the war
  • the staybrite windowns place in tile hill!! big orange blue and plastic DIE DIE DIE DIE
  • Can I call the ring road a building? It's THE most inspired piece of idiocy I've seen in my life.
  • The round burger bar in the lower precinct is so bad it looks awful but for some strange reason it is listed
  • Anything inside the ringroad. Undo everything the '50s developers did and start again. Better still, just leave it demolished.
  • mr g's club, new look(cringe)
  • The ENTIRE City centre! The sports centre - what moron designed that, eh?
  • The Market
  • That big glass office block by the station. the whole of the burgess
  • Crappy round resturant in the Lower Precient - should go now. And the Rail Station - horrible 1960s monstrosity.
  • Round burger bar in the lower precinct. So ugly it beggars belief. Once went in it to see how bad it really was. Poor service, terrible food, grimy, perhaps the worst place in the world. And apparently a grade two listed building !
  • The new cathedral
  • The city center. All of it. Bring the Germans back over it, and we can start all over again, and do it properly this time.
  • That bloody tower block that the pagoda reside in...awful
  • The entire city centre precinct
  • The old bingo building everyone is having a scizo about keeping. just crush it and make way for the millenium walk!.
  • Queens Arcade and Abbey Gate Precincts are just to naff to be allowed to stand for too many more years Those fifties architects just loved their concrete didnt they.
  • the entire city centre. actually the entire city.
  • That horrible green glass entrance to West Orchrds
  • Most of them are very ugly, 50's modernist stuff that looks very utilitarian and East German in appearance. Probably cool when built, most of the central shopping area now seems desolate and unwelcoming and should be razed. That goes for Allders department store, The AXA building and the Bus Station too- if ever a place was more inaptly named than 'Pool Meadow' I've yet to see it.
  • Most of them where demolished by A.Hitler, however one or two of the 1950 buildings in the city centre could do with a face-lift preferably with a kilo of plastique on a Thursday night (in particular the concrete circular cafe that's been designated a listed building...)
  • Yates's Wine Lodge!, LLoyds No.1 (ex- Pheonix), Fatty Arbuckles, Bar Coast, any other bars like that!
