Glimmer of hope for Sky Blues

A non-executive director of Coventry City has said that he is prepared to consider the offer from the Keep Coventry in Coventry group to pay the rent on the Ricoh Arena for three years so that the club could play there rather than in Northampton.   This would enable a longer-term solution to be found to the bitter dispute.

Not surprisingly, Sisu rejected the group’s offer of just over £50,000 for the club.   Given poor attendances at Northampton, this proposal might tempt them.   However, the group say that they would want to be reimbursed once attendances reached 5,000 and that would surely be achieved very quickly once the club was back playing in the city.
