Hopefully We Can Get Back To The Ricoh - Wilson

Last updated : 01 March 2014 By KCIC

Coventry kid Callum Wilson has said that he hopes that something can be done to get Coventry City back to the Ricoh Arena in the near future.

Wilson said in an interview with Sky Sports: "Coventry is a massive club and to be playing somewhere else - with me being from Coventry - it's a 60-mile round trip which isn't needed really. I live walking distance from the Ricoh, I can see it from my house, so it's not great to be that far away and playing your home games in front of 1,000 or 2,000 people when you are used to playing in front of 10-15,000 at the Ricoh. I know a lot of my friends and family would be at the Ricoh supporting but because it's so far away now, they can't make that commitment every week.
 
As players do you all feel for the fans and understand their frustrations?
 
CW: Yeah. Taking Coventry out of the city, some people were getting buses to the ground but Northampton is a lot further and more expensive - it's not just the ticket they have to buy, it's the transport and people getting the time to travel that far to watch us. Hopefully it's something that can be sorted in the near future and get back to playing at the Ricoh or a new stadium in the city where everyone can come and support and my friends and family can come more often as well."
