Coventry City Council have issued the following statement regarding the Sky Blues return to the Ricoh Arena.

The statement reads as follows:

"We are delighted that ACL and Coventry City Football Club have agreed terms that will see the Sky Blues return to their home in Coventry at the Ricoh Arena.

"This is a day thousands of fans have been hoping for and it’s great news for everyone who cares about the club and the city.

"We recognise that this stalemate had to be broken, and that if the club could come home it would help everyone ...begin to rebuild and repair damaged relationships, so we’re pleased that ACL has been able to come to an agreement with the club.

"We’ve always been clear that we wanted the Sky Blues playing again in their rightful home, the Ricoh Arena. That will now happen – let’s fill the stadium for their first match back here and give Steven Pressley and the team the best possible welcome home."
