Just saw DRS tweet about Coventry Northamptontry http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/look-coventry-city-agree-groundshare-4866094Coventry City have agreed a deal to play their home matches at Northampton Town’s Sixfields Stadium, the Telegraph can exclusively reveal.
The Football League’s board will meet on Thursday to discuss whether to approve the arrangement.
The Telegraph also understands the Sky Blues are set to be selected as the preferred buyer for a site in “the Coventry area” to build a new stadium - and to enter exclusive negotiations over a sale.
Well, they certainly upped the brinkmanship stakes. |

So lets get this right, they would rather play at Northampton (obviously at a cost) than play for free at the ricoh. baffled

I thought the 'free' offer was worded as if it expired when the club was sold, and therefore SISO would potentially need to dip in to their pockets once a CVA was agreed.
In any case I'm still not convinced this groundshare will happen. I think the council/other stadium owners can't afford a white elephant and will fold..

On a slightly different note, I was oop north earlier in the week and accidentally drove past the new Rotherham ground, a very imposing sight from the road, not got a clue what it is like inside but we will soon find out this coming season. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

I always liked then fact that the Shrivenham Road was recycled stand, even painted green. It's matching half going from the Aldershot parade ground to Peel Park Accrington....you'd have thought with all the recent new builds, we could have picked up something to replace the TE or SB. |

Do Coventry season ticket holders get a refund if they dont wish to travel to NTFC?
I'm not sure they sold any due to the uncertainty. |
