Coventry City: Mike Ashley's Frasers Group serve stadium eviction notice

The new owners of the arena issued an eviction notice to the city.

The stadium was taken over by the Frasers Group last month.

The club doesn't have the right to use the ground anymore.

The FA Youth Cup game was switched to Leamington Town FC because the club had to return keys and access cards.

Frasers don't think they are bound by the previous licence agreement with the former owners of the stadium.

When the Championship campaign starts again on Saturday, they will be away to Reading and their next home game is against SWANSEA.

Frasers will be given a reasonable amount of time to remove items from the stadium.

In 2005, the Sky Blues moved to the Ricoh Arena.

They had a dispute with their landlords and had to move to Northampton Town's Sixfields ground.

In October of last year, the Sky Blues returned as tenants after the Wasps bought the remaining 50% of the stadium.

After two seasons at St Andrew's stadium, where they won promotion from League One, they moved to a new stadium.

The state of the pitch at the start of the current campaign was caused by it being used for rugby sevens during the Commonwealth Games.

Frasers Group bought the operating companies of the CBS Arena after they went into administration.

A judge rejected a £25m bid for the stadium from businessman Doug King, but he is going ahead with a plan to buy the club from the current owners.

It's turning into a nightmare for fans of the city.

When the new owners of the football club and stadium were announced last month, many thought it was the end of the off field drama.

The hopes seem to have been dashed in just a few weeks.

There are reasons for the notice of eviction. The hope that the Sky Blues will return to the venue is still alive.

It's been over a week since the new owners of the club and stadium were named, and they won't be playing a home game for another twelve days.

Sky Blues fans have been waiting for a resolution to be found and officials will be working around the clock to get it done.
