Some 100 supporters of Coventry City FC gathered in front of Ricoh Arena on Saturday to protest their club's announcement of possibly moving to a new purpose-built stadium outside of Coventry city limits.

The opposition comes after troubled club didn't respond to Ricoh Arena's proposal to play there without rental fees in 2013/14 campaign.

Trust spokesman Moz Baker said: "The clock's ticking all the time. There are no season tickets being sold - people need to know where we're playing and that should be in Coventry.

"We have a perfectly good, purpose-built stadium here which we should be playing at."
