At the Sky Blue Trust open meeting tonight at The Squirrel in Coventry, it was revealed that Football League had no choice but to accept Coventry City groundsharing Sixfields Stadium.
Roger Ellis told those present that The Trust were told by the Football League in meetings with them that:
* Football League advised Administrator Paul Appleton to consider all offers. They feel he didn't.
* Football League were unhappy with the administration process and feel it was very rushed.
* Football League received the groundshare application one day before the deadline and thus had no choice but to accept it.
* FL will only allow an extension to the groundshare if significant progress had been made with a new stadium and said they would check on progress at the end of the season.
