ACL Disappointed by Football League Decision

Arena Coventry Limited tonight have said that they want Coventry City playing in Coventry.

An ACL Spokesperson said to the Coventry Telegraph: "Like all Sky Blues fans, we want Coventry City Football Club playing in Coventry.

"We have repeatedly said that we are happy to discuss terms to allow the Sky Blues to continue playing at the Ricoh Arena – and have even offered to allow them to play for free while the club remains in administration.

 "This offer was made a month ago and we still have not had a response .

"We are therefore deeply disappointed at the Football League’s decision to allow the club to leave the city for three years.

"We understand that they are under considerable pressure to finalise the fixtures before the start of the season and that they are being placed in a very awkward position by both the administrator and the current preferred bidders, Otium Entertainment.

"There is no need to force fans to travel 30 miles to watch a 'home game'.

"The Ricoh Arena is available to them. We want them here. The fans want them here. The only people who want the Sky Blues to leave Coventry are the ones with no connection to this city."
