While we're moaning about being weak as piss in the Premier League, Coventry are in danger of being expelled from the Football League if they don't sort out their ground issues in the next two months.

Has Coventry not got a bigger population?

There’s not much in it, but for the size of the Cov, to only get single figure attendances is pretty poor
Around 10,000 for home matches usually. 26,000 a few weeks ago when they had a £5 ticket offer.
There's usually more than nine people there.
12,000 tickets were given away to schools. So only 14,000 could be bothered to pay £5. A lot of people refuse to go under the current owners.

I remember going to Filbert St. for years with regular attendances under 10k.
It's dreadful how that club has been ruined.

NEWS: Club statement following EFL Board update
Coventry City today provided an update to the EFL Board, as was requested.

Coventry City today provided an update to the EFL Board, as was requested.
The Football Club confirmed to the EFL that it is close to the Head of Terms stage with two groundshare options. Coventry City will now progress to working on finalising terms with the Clubs and Stadiums involved.
While it remains our number one priority to stay, we can confirm that unfortunately the Ricoh Arena is not one of the venues above. At this stage, Wasps continue to choose not to enter into talks with the Football Club while our Owners SISU continue legal action with Coventry City Council.
Regrettably, we therefore have had to make alternative plans to the Ricoh Arena, the stadium that was built for us, to ensure our place in the EFL next season. The groundshare proposals would do that.
This is not an easy situation, and we apologise to supporters that it has reached this stage and for the heartache which has been caused.
Coventry City Football Club and its management team cannot affect the stances of Coventry City Council, Wasps or of our Owners in this situation – what we can do is put in plans to ensure this great Football Club continues to survive despite the impasse that exists, and that is what we will do.
