Strange - Time For An Independent Organisation To Run The Ricoh Arena

Last updated : 02 August 2013 By Covsupport News Service

Former Coventry City London Supporters Club Chairman Jon Strange has told the Independent that it is time that an independent organisation ran the Ricoh Arena.

"It's a deplorable situation but this has been coming," said Jonathan Strange to The Independent's Ed Aarons.

"The failure of the club and the council to sort this out has been shameful – to be in this position where we are now going to be penalised is incredible. I have no optimism about the immediate future.

"We need to have an independent organisation running the stadium with the skills to promote it as the top-class venue it is.

"The time has come for people to see beyond the end of their noses. We have to think that even with a points deduction we are able to survive but the transfer embargo will make it very difficult."
