    yep, they have killed them off by being greedy
    it is tough enough for teams to survive with their own grounds

    The stadium owners offered massive cuts to the rent, up to 90% but sisu still refused.

    They wanted to play there rent free which is insane.

    This totally. Had too many run ins with their fans to feel much sorrow for them.
    Can't see them feeling too bad if it was us.....

    'Jimmy would be horrified' by what's going on at Coventry City
    Wife of Sky Blues legend makes heartfelt appeal to keep City at the Ricoh Arena


    2005 – Coventry relocated to the 32,609 seater Ricoh Arena after 106 years at Highfield Road. The club's last game at Highfield Road stadium results in a 6–2 win over Midlands rivals Derby County in front of a sell-out 23,000 crowd.

    Imagine they wish they had just stayed at Highfield Road - hopefully this sort of thing won't happen to us with our our planned new stadium?
