Back Where We Belong

Follow 25 years of Coventry City's rise back to the Premier League, told through the voices of those who lived it: the fans.

For Sky Blues supporters, the years have been anything but straightforward. Heartbreak from relegation from the Premier League in 2001 and then a descend further into League Two. Along with a revolving turnstile of managers before Mark Robbins, who inspires revival and a Wembley win. All before a club is reborn under a new owner, Doug King.

Off-the-pitch the fans said an emotional farewell to Highfield Road, the clubs original home for over 100 years. There was promise of a new stadium, the Ricoh Arena. What was a promise of hope became a turbulent path with SISU ownership. Controversy, turmoil and clashes leave the club homeless and forced to play out of the city in Northampton and Birmingham.

Under King's takeover, the club goes back home to the Ricoh, now CBS Arena, and its new manager Frank Lampard steers a sensational 2025/26 Championship campaign - finally Coventry City are crowned champions.

This is a story of fans sharing in a journey of loss, resilience and an unwavering belief that the Sky Blues are back where they belong.
