Coventry forced into another postponement as Sky Blues squabble with rugby landlords

Coventry City have seen a third home game postponed in the space of just ten days.

The Championship outfit have announced that their proposed league meeting with Wigan Athletic, planned for this coming Tuesday (August 16), has been shelved. It comes amid increasing concerns as to the state of the pitch at the Coventry Building Society Arena, which was used extensively for rugby games at the recent Commonwealth Games.

The impact on the turf has been evident from pictures on social media and has now resulted in another game being called off. It follows the postponement of last Sunday's league game with Rotherham and the midweek Carabao Cup tie with Bristol City being moved to Burton Albion.
