Cov at The Hawthorns/Molineux

Apparently, Coventry are in big trouble and administration looms. They are also majorly behind on rent at The Ricoh and are not allowed to play there.

They have apparently come to an agreement with the Football League to play their fixtures at another club in the West Mids. Think it's more likely to be a smaller WM club myself or maybe Blues?

Remember a few years back when Fulham shared Loftus Road with QPR for the season whilst Craven Cottage was closed.

Made me wonder though, how would Baggies/Wolves fans feel about sharing your ground with Coventry or any other club?

They’d pay something Tino but it wouldn’t be big bucks as that’s the problem they have at the moment – too much rent too little income.

I don’t know how close they came to that Tara. Wheldon owned Saddlers and then sold them, bought Blues and sold off a lot of assets to try to keep them afloat. I do remember a ground share being talked about but can’t remember if it was ever a serious proposition.
Maybe terry could be useful for once and remind us?

Molineux is like a second home to me. I've probably seen more wins there than half the Wolfies on here

think Coventry would share a non league ground like Hinckley United, less money to pay.

I don't know how i'd feel my kinda local team playing at my teams ground haha. seems strange to me.

What a mess for Coventry City. They've got a quite a few options local to them, just depends on what gates they get. I'd have thought Birmingham City would be their best bet, then Leicester City.
