Coventry boss Mark Robins furious as Commonwealth Games puts opening home game in doubt

Mark Robins has let rip after Coventry City’s first home match was left in danger of postponement - thanks to the Commonwealth Games.

The Sky Blues’ chief was savage in his criticism after the pitch at the Coventry Building Society Arena was churned up during the Rugby 7s. The stadium hosted the men’s and women’s competition last week but has not recovered - and, according to the club’s boss, has been left in a dangerous state.

Robins did not know where to direct his fire - either at stadium owners the Wasps Group or the games’ organisers - but he was scathing in his condemnation. The Sky Blues play Rotherham United on Sunday in what was supposed to be their first home fixture of the season.
