Coventry City: EFL vote cancelled as 'groundshare agreement in place', says League One club


Coventry City have spent the past five seasons back at the Ricoh Arena after a season groundsharing with Northampton TownCoventry City say they have a "groundshare venue and agreement in place" for next season if they are unable to stay at the Ricoh Arena. A planned vote of English Football League clubs regarding Coventry's place in the league has now been cancelled. Coventry, owners Sisu and rugby union club Wasps - who own the Ricoh - are in talks over City staying at the ground, which is Coventry's preferred option. Earlier this month, League One City's owners complained to the European Commission about the sale of the stadium to Wasps in 2014 - with Coventry later saying the complaint is only against Coventry City Council and does not involve Wasps. Sisu claim the Ricoh was undervalued by £28m, and is asking the Commission to see if the deal breaks state-aid rules.
