Leicester City, Aston Villa - If you can hear us from up in the Premiership... We're coming to get you!!

torchomatic · Aug 21, 2014

I think the good news will be tempered by getting the sack for spending too much time on the Internet.

How on earth am I meant to focus at work now... I can't describe how this feels but it's amazing you are all here with me!!

Despite the in-fighting amongst fans, this is a real demonstration of people power. We fought til the game was won!!

WELL DONE SKY BLUE ARMY!!!!

It was the longest rendition of twist and shout that done it

Absolutely wonderful news. Anyone who stays away now is a mystery to me.

Whatever you think of SISU, they are currently bankrolling the club. My main gripe has been the way they went about securing non-footballing assets but using our football club to do so. That's failed. Let's draw a line.

Now, back the club, and play your part in getting us out of this damn division; and back to where we belong

Probably your best post ever.

I think all Sky Blue fans would. I would also like to hear that ACL are going to give more of the cake to the football club.

Agreed. I've always said that the club's contribution to ACL should be reducing over time, with incomes coming back the other way - in direct proportion to ACL's non-footballing incomes increasing. With an end-game of zero rent (or as close thereto as possible), and all-matchday incomes to the club. Nobody - bar the insane - wants to see the club struggle whilst ACL post ever-swollen profits; in the same way as only the insane would expect the football club to profit from Oasis playing at the Ricoh on a summer's evening - if the club has played no part, nor invested in such an event taking place.

Still, that's an aside for now. Today I'm happy. Common sense - for once in CCFC's recent history - has prevailed. Let's hope it continues to do so in the coming months...

zigojacko · Aug 21, 2014

This is awesome news at long last! Getting our club back at home is well overdue! Elated! :guitar2:

This should prove a huge boost for morale amongst players and staff - really hope to see this reflect on our performances on the field.

torchomatic · Aug 21, 2014

Two plus two then.

The club has agreed a two-year deal with an option for an extra two years and we should return for the Gillingham match...
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.

rupert_bear · Aug 21, 2014

And don't worry about this 2 year deal, we are back home and home we will be staying and that is the Ricoh. No way will the Football League allow us to move outside the city again and unless sisu have found a plot of land inside Cov somewhere we don't know about any new Stadium plan is shattered.

WHat a crock of shit Sky are ,we are about fifth item on their hourly headlines behind even the poll on would you like to see Marion Ballatelli back in the Prem.

fecking disgraceful

I sympathise with your point. But we are now just a small club in the 3rd tier with tiny crowds. I'm afraid that most football supporters have no great knowledge of our saga and even less interest. The domestic game is completely dominated by what happens in the moneyfest that is the Premier League, and the rest get the scraps. Sad, I know, but true.

I am aware that represents 'metered praise'. Like a 'hard working Frenchman'....

But today, I'll let it slide

lewys33 · Aug 21, 2014

Will they bring the cashless system back? They can shove that up their arse!

ajsccfc · Aug 21, 2014

Back at the Ricoh AND we're signing Balotelli? Hot damn.

malkitccfc · Aug 21, 2014

Yes!! Good morning all

Mary_Mungo_Midge · Aug 21, 2014

Good press release too. Glad to see it lacking some of the pointedness and unnecessary bitchiness of some of the previous fare
