Coventry ‘receive eviction notice’ from Mike Ashley’s company; must ‘agree new licence’ for stadiumCoventry City have “received an eviction notice” from Mike Ashley’s company, who are the new owners of the Coventry Building Society Arena.
“We were surprised to learn of this intention by Frasers Group, given that discussions with Coventry City prior to the completion of their purchase of the Arena led us to understand the existing terms would continue unchanged with Frasers Group as the new owners of the Arena. “Frasers Group have said they would negotiate for beyond May 2023, but this leaves us without the security and certainty that our current deal provides to us and our fans.
“Coventry City hope that they will act on those words for the good of the Arena, the football club, our fans and the city and community that they are now part of.”
