The club have found somewhere to play if they are not able to play at the Ricoh Arena next season
Fears over Coventry City being kicked out of the English Football League have been quashed for the time being after the club announced it had come to a groundshare agreement in case they are not allowed to play at the Ricoh Arena next season.
Their future has been uncertain for a while, with a legal battle between the club’s owners and London Wasps – who also play there – threatening to push the club out of their home.
A Coventry statement published on Sunday said: “Details of the agreed groundshare and of our ongoing discussions with Wasps Holdings Limited remain confidential, due to mutually signed confidentiality agreements.
“We understand the frustration that fans are feeling, and have expressed to us, at not knowing where their club will be playing next season, not being able to plan for next season and supporting Mark Robins and the team, and the time that this is taking.”
Earlier this month, Coventry complained to the European Commission about the city council’s sale of the stadium to Wasps in 2014.
Sisu claim the Ricoh was undervalued by £28m, and is asking the Commission to see if the deal breaks state-aid rules.
