Representatives from the Football League have visited the Arena site.

The tour of what will be the new playing venue for the Sky Blues was part of City's bid to get the Football League to change their minds about not letting City playing their first three games away from home until the Arena is ready to open.

Mike McGinnity told the CET: "With the support of the City Council,who have written a supporting letter,we are confident that Laing O'Rourke will have the Arena ready for August 20th.

"The Football League are concerned that we will be like Wembley and go beyond that date and that is why we invited them to see the stadium for themselves."
