Mike Ashley serves Coventry City with eviction notice after stadium purchase

Frasers Group, headed up by former Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley, have served Coventry City with an eviction notice on the Championship club's long-time home ground.

The Sky Blues had played their home games at the Coventry Building Society Arena - previously known as the Ricoh Arena - since 2005. This wasn't continuous, with the team forced to play at temporary homes amid a rent dispute, while the venue was also one of those used during the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Frasers Group took over ownership of the stadium in November, with previous owners Wasps Holdings going into administration one month earlier. Coventry's next scheduled home game in the Championship is due to take place on December 17.
