now we know why the Ricoh is jinxed

Coventry City, a cautionary tale if ever there was about what can happen if a club doesn’t own it’s ground.
City’s ground is jointly owned by the city council and Higgs charity.
Susi, City’s hedge fund owners tried to force the council to sell the ground to them cheap by refusing to pay rent. Believing that the ground’s owners would be forced to sell as the arena has little use other than a sports stadium. Unfortunately for Sisu. Wasps were looking for a home and the stadium was leased to them for 250 years.
Rather than pay rent to Wasps to ground share, an option still on the table, Sisu have chosen to ground share at St Andrews.
Mardy barstewards.

I worked on the Ricoh Stadium. There is an Emergency light I put up above the exit to the concourse from the seating area. It’s very much not level and has DCFC written in the top.
Childish I know, but I smile every time we are there.

There's also the Leicester shirt buried in the foundations, allegedly.

That reads like you put a light up in the ricoh with dcfc written on it, which would be a bit weird for a Coventry fan.
