Farewell To The Ricoh Arena (For This Season!)

Coventry City's turbulent recent history shows no signs of calming down any time soon and the Sky Blues have once again ended a season needing points to assure themselves of safety.
A campaign that began at Sixfields, home of Northampton Town, is at least finishing in Coventry, at the Ricoh Arena, but as the stadium involved is now owned by Wasps RFC and contains very little trace of CCFC (including no club shop) the move back has not been quite as positive as we might have hoped.
But there have been some signs of life in recent weeks, Tony Mowbray building on the work done by Steven Pressley with a youthful side and coaxing some solid and committed performances that have slowly moved the Sky Blues out of the relegation zone.
Off the field, the club have tried to break down some of the barriers that have been built up with the supporters with a number of ticket offers.
The first game back at the Ricoh, against Gillingham, was priced at £10 for Adults, as was the Fleetwood fixture just before Christmas with two home JPT ties priced at £5 in all areas of the ground.
And reduced prices are in operation again for the final home game of the season, a potentially important battle against a Crewe Alexandra side also involved towards the bottom of the table.
The match takes place on Saturday 25 April at 3pm with Adult tickets £10 and Concessions £5.
