Over one hundred and fifty of our senior supporters attended the Diamond Club lunch in the Legends Lounge at the Ricoh Arena.

Coventry City Chairman Joe Elliott attended along with Guests and former players Lol Harvey and Brian Nicholls.

After an excellent lunch, Joe Elliott spoke about the rollercoaster ride that City are currently on. He said that he was "Happy with where we are today".

"I'm hopeful that a deal will not be too long now that Mr Ranson is showing great interest and the bank are being more friendly. The Ricoh needs bringing together and the takeover is virtually there with ACL. Everyone is saying the right things and Ray appears to have found the club he wants. "We don't want administration but there will be people snaffling us up if we do end up with it."

Other speakers included Ray Stephens who spoke about the Sky Blue Trust and Pete Chambers - the man behind the Coventry Walk Of Fame.

One of the older members Fred Griffin was ninety today and he was presented with a signed shirt by Mr Elliott and a birthday cake from the club.
