Coventry City have issued a statement regarding their plans to sell their Ryton training ground for housing.
The statement is as follows:
"Coventry City FC would like to provide an update about the proposed developments at the training ground in Ryton-on-Dunsmore...
A Coventry City FC spokesperson said: "Coventry City FC can confirm that the club’s training base at Ryton has been included in the Rugby Borough Council’s local plan as a potential redevelopment site.
"The Club have worked alongside Rugby Council, Sport England and representatives from Ryton Parish Council to get the land proposed for housing in the local plan, and the consultation period for that will begin on 26th September. The Club will be engaging fully with the consultation process.
"The objective is to relocate to a new modern site (currently under review), which will act as an inspirational environment and will better serve the needs of the football club as a whole.
"The Club would like to reiterate that the current site cannot be developed until it has demonstrated to Rugby Council and Sport England that an adequate replacement has been provided for."
