Coming To Cov - Leicester City

Last updated : 16 April 2006 By Covsupport

The penultimate home game of the season, sees local rivals Leicester City come to the Arena 3pm kick off.

For the visit of his former club, Micky Adams has no fresh injury worries apart from Robert Page who has a groin injury and is expected to continue to make changes for the remaining games. Leicester boss Rob Kelly who has been given the job on a full-time basis is expected to field most of the team which lost at home to Preston yesterday.

This will be the 76th meeting between the two clubs, City do not have a good record having won only 24 of the encounters with eighteen draws. The game at the Crisp Bowl earlier in the season saw 1-2 defeat for Micky Adams side.

There are tickets remaining although Leicester have sold their entire allocation of 5,000. Having sold such numbers, you can expect the police to be out in force as will the Coventry City Council parking wardens, so make sure you park either in a car park or well away from the no parking zone. Take care when travelling to and from the stadium.

There is a road closure order which has come into effect around the Arena. Rowleys Green Road, Cornonel Ave and Judds Lane will be close from 2pm until 6pm for a afternoon kick off. Access will be for permit holders only with all vehicles held back for approximately fifteen minutes after the final whistle to allow pedestrians to leave safely.

At 7.45pm, there is another local derby with Coventry Sphinx entertaining Coventry Copsewood at Sphinx Drive.
