COVENTRY MESSAGE BOARD

Coventry City has confirmed that it is putting contingency plans in place regarding where it will play next season.

Chief executive Tim Fisher said: "The fact is that we are being locked out of the Ricoh Arena.

“We have been told that there is no further room for negotiation and an offer that we made to get back round the negotiating table has been rejected.

“It is with great regret that we now have no alternative but to consider other arrangements for next season and we would be failing the club, its supporters and its staff if we did not start making such plans now.

“The club is keeping the relevant football authorities fully informed of developments, and we will keep everyone informed when there is specific further news."
