No way would the CET print if this wasn't 100%, surely? Their credibility would be shot.

when simon gilbert stated that appeal might not be obstacle we think it was certain acl posters said he was naive and would be sent the same way as les reid.

Coventry City Football Club has agreed a deal to return to the Ricoh Arena.


The two-year deal, with an option for an extra two years, should see the Sky Blues play at the Ricoh Arena for the first time in the league against Gillingham.


Steve Waggott, development director at Coventry City FC, said: “We are delighted to get this deal done and I am sure every supporter of Coventry City will be thrilled with this news.


“We are under no illusion what a difficult 12 months it has been for the supporters and that was uppermost in our thinking as we worked to get this deal done.


“There has had to be compromise on both sides and the commercial details of the deal will remain confidential.


“Now it is all about looking forward to a really exciting season back in the community and with a real chance of success. I am sure every supporter will want to give Steven Pressley, his staff and players their full backing for the season at the Ricoh.


“Logistically, it’s going to mean a huge amount of work between now and the first game back and we would ask supporters to bear with us as all of our efforts up to now have been in getting this deal over the line to get us back to Coventry as soon as possible.


“We will announce details around tickets, Season Tickets and other information as soon as we can next week but we hope to be back at the Ricoh for the clash with Gillingham. We will keep supporters fully informed of progress to that aim.


“Can I also take this opportunity of thanking Chris Robinson, Chair of ACL, for the professional manner he has conducted our lengthy discussions to reach this agreement.”


Chris Robinson confirmed: “Everyone at ACL looks forward to delivering a top quality service to the club and the fans.”


Coventry City have kept Northampton fully informed and would like to thank the club for its hospitality over the last 12 months.

Two options really, either SISU genuinely intend to build a new ground so we only need to be here on the temporary deal or this deal gives an opportunity to rebuild the relationship so a permanent deal can be put in place.
