So what's the rules for them by not playing in their own stadium?? They've played at Northampton and now at Birmingham City. Have they got special permission which wasn't given to us?? Surprised Peterboro haven't said owt......

Last June the EFL were quoted as saying...
“ We’ve reluctantly agreed to a Coventry City ground share.
As far as I know stipulations were put on this move.
A £1M bond had to be paid by Coventry City.
18 sites been offered as available for Stadium development.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they end up back at the Ricoh paying rent now they’re back in the Chumpionship..⚽️

I think they have done great though. I think we were expected to be up there but Coventry weren’t, and to only lose 3 games all season is terrific, considering they are not even playing in their own city.
I remember them going up with Wolves in the mid sixties to the first division (now Prem) under Jimmy Hill, and they stayed there for well over 30 years. Their best period being that famous Cup final win v Spurs in 1987.
Mark Robins is a great Manager and was a great player including for us. Looking back you couldn’t blame him for leaving for Barnsley when we were having major problems.
Also another thing in common is the Norwich connection.
Never managed to get to Highfield Road though.

I’d love them to go back to Ricoh but seeing that we’re still going to be in same league it won’t happen, clearly there’s a curse between us and their ground

The Ricoh Arena is owned by Wasps Rugby Club. Not sure the current regulation on Primacy of Tenure.

Coventry City were in dispute with Coventry Council saying they sold the stadium to the Wasps too cheaply.
Undervalued by approx £28m.
It went to court, not sure of the outcome or if it’s still at European Court.

Just read up. Our courts threw it out. Its with EU around complaints on state aid or misuse of taxpayer money. Can they still rule give we've left the EU. Maybe a question for our legal team.
And the dispute doesnt seem to be helping CCFC in its negotiations for a ground share.
