City season ticket holding Council Leader John Mutton has already met Olympic organisers to get their support in calling for the government to finally approve the first phase of the scheme which includes a station at the Ricoh Arena (or City of Coventry Stadium as it will be known during the two week summer games in 2012).
Mr Mutton along with the City's MP's are to meet Transport Minister Theresa Villiers to make a special case for the plans to be put through and not fall the way of other government cuts.
Speaking to the CT, Mr Mutton said: "A train station at the Ricoh Arena is going to be an absolute necessity. "We're going to be welcoming thousands of international visitors - they're not going to come by car, so making it easy for them to have a great experience when they visit our city is vital.
"The Olympics won't just benefit London, but cities like ours if we take up the challenge to make them a real success.
"We've developed a national reputation for hosting great events after the success of the International Children's Games, the UK Schools Games and the Transplant Games and I know organisers are really are impressed with our plans for 2012.
"We're not like other cities who are just looking to attract countries to sue their facilities as a pre-games training camp. We want every single person in this city to get something out of this once in a lifetime experience and leave a lasting legacy for Coventry."
