None of the grounds currently being mentioned are anywhere near the Ground Grading level for the Football League. If Cov are thrown out of the League I don't think the Conference will have them either. Odds are they'll end up in Southern Division One Central or the Northern Premier League Division One South.

This would be another sad day for the football league. To see the likes of Hereford, Darlington and Scarborough down and out, and now possibly a historically big club like Coventry. It's criminal and those behind the shambles should be brought to account. It's the fans that suffer and they've done nothing wrong.
Why can't Coventry be permitted to play at Sixfields again? Is it just "rules is rules" logic?

Well, if Twerton reached ground grading. |

The EFL told Coventry that they have to play within 6 miles of the city centre.
It seems unlikely that the National League would accept them either as they're stricter on finance. So potentially they'll be in the Northern League Premier.
If they don't meet the deadline today then EFL clubs will vote on their future.
I think they need a 75% swing to save their EFL status. If less than 75% vote to keep them, they'll be ejected (at least this is a bit more positive than it first seemed)

The FL are squeezing SISU, they've been a basketcase club and they don't want members flip flopping between grounds every 3/4 years. Rovers were in a very different position as the custodians were doing everything they could to save the club. SISU simply aren't. |

If Cov are thrown out of the League I don't think the Conference will have them either. Odds are they'll end up in Southern Division One Central or the Northern Premier League Division One South. If that’s the case then I can’t see that any fans would continue to follow the club under the current ownership at that level. They’d be just as well setting up their own “AFC” type club as they’d probably be at a similar level or maybe a couple lower. Especially given they all hate the current owners. I’m pleased in a sense that this is happening to the owners as if they go out the football league, with no assets and no fan base in the clubs name then it really will be worthless and a terrible investment. Exactly what they deserve. |

So in a way this is basically an indirect way of the EFL trying to remove SISU from the ownership of Coventry? |

Exactly what they deserve. I surmise but Merthyr and Salisbury's Phoenix Clubs went in at Level 10. Would frankly be the better option for Coventry, if incredibly annoying for supporters of Step 6 clubs. |

I think they realise they need to do something, allowing SISU to continue to basically run a stripped down club in it's competition devalues it. |

Coventry would be relegated and the team second bottom of League 2 would be given a reprieve.
